    What's the current state of hot towels?

    Was somewhat surprised the other day on my F flight where no hot towel service was provided. I recall a discussion many years back on how towels were removed from domestic J. But are they now not present on any QF flight at all? Has anyone had a hot towel service on a QF flight recently? From a...

    Darwin QP Morning Hours

    Does anyone know if the Darwin QP is open for their code share flight QF8665, departing 7:20am? I note the lounge historically closed at 6 or 6:30am prior to the mainline departures. However, I think the code share is relatively new?

    Qantas VTL Flights - Singapore

    With the impending travel bubble opening with Singapore, it's interesting that Qantas have yet to announce whether the flights they're operating from Sydney and Melbourne will be eligible Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flights.

    747 VH-OJN PlaneTag

    PlaneTags have released a series of tag's made from a Qantas 747. VH-OJN was retired in 2011, so not one of the recent planes, but could still be a good collectable given the uncertainty around the future of the fleet. https://planetags.com/products/boeing-qantas-747

    Have a flight to YVR in December, solo traveler. Never been in the nose of a 747, although have flown upper deck multiple times. Given this may be my last flight on the 747, I've selected seat 1A. However as I'm traveling alone, I'm considering changing this to 2A. Want a window seat in the...

    Amex Plat Charge - "due" date

    I see some threads from around 8 years ago on this topic, but nothing recent. Thinking of applying for the plat charge card and was wondering if the pay by next statement date rule still applies? Also what's the general time frame provided for the printed due date on each monthly statement? 2 weeks?

    How to book business on Jetstar site?

    I'm sure there's something I'm missing here, but I can't seem to find the option to search/price flights in business on the Jetstar flight. I select the destination (eg SYD > HNL) and dates, there's no option at the search screen to select class of travel. Then I select the times, and click...

    Qantas F to HKG

    Have been booked on the QF127/QF128 combination for the end of 2018 for a while now. Noticed with a re-timing of the return flight today, that I've lost my F seat selection (booked in J). Took a look at Expertflyer, and it seems that QF have F fare buckets open for these flights now. Was unable...

    Changes to points earn coming

    Received a letter today in regards to the points earn on my American Express Ultimate card. Looks like points earn rates are going back to what they were prior to the 3/2/1/0.5 scheme. Fairly blanket 1.5/$1 from June 2017 except on government bodies. Seems like a positive change to me...

    Huge price difference - US vs AU sites

    I'm seeing a big price difference when trying to book a domestic F flight on American between the AU and US sites. For example, searching for a New York to Washington DC round trip brings up outbound flights at $293US, or $602.70AU. Even given the current exchange rates, that's more then $200AU...

    Limited seat selection for SG at T-24

    Booked on a domestic flight tomorrow, which was upgraded to Business (U) class using points. As I generally do, I've been monitoring the seat map from T-80 and have found that it has not opened up any additional seats for selection. I can select only the last row of Business, even at T-24...
