    QF A380 Y Mini-cabin top deck, rear --- Pics only

    Travelled in Row 32 of "cattle class plus" a few times now HKG-SYD and LAX -SYD on both occasions the aircraft was freezing, both night flights of course . So cold coming back from HKG the crew (fantastic crew by the way) issue us peasants business class blankets. The A380 in my humble opinion...

    Qantas to Korea

    Hi all just wanted to share my recent travels . I travel to ROK (Korea) regularly and clearly would prefer to use my Platinum privileges with Qantas. Sadly like many places our national carrier does not include Korea but has some arrangement with Asiana. I tried Asiana once that was enough. So...

    Heads up about program changes

    I became a Qantas FF in 1977 and over many years have enjoyed the ups and many downs with our National carrier. Yesterday's news makes me wonder after some serious thought do I continue to reward Qantas with my loyalty?. The announcement is worded to look positive but true to form the current...

    Claiming missing points on Qantas

    Anyone had experience on how long it takes Qantas to validate and add missing points? Put in the claim on the Qantas website but apart from the automatic acknowledgment nothing in 10days.

    Does anybody fly Jetstar Business Max??

    Sadly I agree Jet Star max to use the lounge get points and status credits. Did it because I had never flown Jetstar. Really in hindsight the value is not apparent. I was told that on Business class in Jetstar you cannot use the Qantas lounge unless its a max fare.

    Business Class Max with Jetstar

    Don't disagree but Jetstar Business Class Max is not that cheap. Look at the choices Qantas and ancient 767's and a not so frequent service and Hawaian who seems to get mixed reviews and of course Jetstar all are a pretty average lot . I know Jetstar is not exemplary in standards and you get...

    Accumulating some extra SC's

    Need some assistance from the more experienced here. Going to go for Platinum this year and try to take advantage of the double SC from QF at present. Another member suggested a status run which sounds ok. I looked at doing SYD-MEL-ASP-SYD as an examples but points plus pay in J class is rather...

    Ludicrous 'max' bundle JQ prices

    Used Jetstar max package Syd-Hnl. Not sure it really offers good value. It would seem the advantages are QF status credits and use of airport lounges.

    Business Class Max with Jetstar

    I used to think the same Cathay were renowned for excellent service. I have flown 4 times with them in the last six months and a bit like most other airlines they have lowered the bar. The food was just ok, the cabin attendants as polite as ever, IFE pretty average and the seat pitch I am sure...

    Business Class Max with Jetstar

    It was White Jetstar A330 rego VH-EBC with two small screens on the bulkhead and no seat back IFE. It was no spring chicken. The offered alternative is a rather bulky Ipad with extra battery and you need to have the tray table out to support.
