ATO - please note to allocate extra tax oversight on Uber drivers - tips are taxable (or should be). Tipping is a slippery slope and not to be encouraged. The USA is a joke with mandatory 20% tips and underpaid workers. Uber is underpaying and now expects riders to top up.

I am in the best position - Lifetime Gold with Qantas and Platinum with Virgin, so I can choose. Qantas does not value the customer experience any more. The A380 was good when first introduced, but cramming more seats into the upper deck and reducing the toilets undermined the premium product. I...

Qantas lost the plot with Emirates - no status credits unless a QF flight number. However, I do like to keep a foot in both camps as well.

The numbers quoted are facts.... VA J 1 toilet per 12 pax, QF A380 (new) 1 toilet for 25 pax. Why would you fly QF?

Qantas just doesn't get the whole passenger experience thing - which is why they are losing market share. The reconfigured A380 is a disaster and will turn people off selecting QF - BC on Virgin to the USA 1 toilet for 12 pax, Qantas 1 for 25...

And Zachary, you have what qualifications to refute my claims? Do you represent the Qantas Board perhaps.... Qantas has for the last 15 years bought the wrong planes, although the 787 was not the wrong plane and the delays were not their fault. In addition, Joyce's fascination with Jetstar...

I am have been very pessimistic about Qantas for the last 10 years, and now I am convinced Qantas will cease to exist if Joyce stays at the helm. Made all the wrong decisions, and the only thing that would have saved Qantas is the 787... Sorry but delivering 787s to Jetstar confirms that the...

Qantas is now the worst airline for seating that I travel regularly (Gold with QF). I agree with the previous comment that it is better to fly CX than QF to Asia). My last flight on QF LAX-SYD Qantas allocated me a window seat at the back of the plane (my preference is forward aisle) - how could...

I just booked tickets SYD-AKL-SYD on NZ, using SQ points. The "fine" for doing this was $S272 or around $A230. While this is probably 50% cheaper than buying a ticket, it is hardly a "free" ticket. SQ Gold FF 2005-2007

Early Check-in The Singapore Airlines Internet Check-in and seat allocation system for SQ FF is the best available as far as I am aware - 48 hours before the flight

I have taken 4 international flights with Qantas this year, 4 with Emirates, and 8 with Singapore Airlines. All the Qantas flights were late, all the others were on time. The Qantas planes all had some fault which either delayed the flight or inconvenienced the passengers. The last flight...

Qantas Timing Qantas could not have chosen a worse time for "realigning" the program. On top of previous changes that devalued upgrade points by up to 80%, there have been lots of changes by the banks - ANZ gold 1:1 only to $2500, CBA non gold cards devlaued 100% to 2:1 etc. On top of this...

Qantas FF Program Qantas has found a new way to avoid giving points and benefits. Last week I came back from South Africa - no seats on QF064 for a Gold FF, but seats on SA7700 - same plane, in spite of waitlisting on QF064. I got pre-allocated a middle seat at the back of the plane, and...

Seat Allocation on Qantas I was told by Qantas in Sth Africa that pre-checkin seat allocation is closed when the number of seats allocated reaches 20%. However, a lot of US booking systems allow seat selection on QF flights so I don't know how this works from the US. I like the Singapore...
