Give him what every other employee gets - after 30 years service all you get is a letter confirming 30- years service and that you left voluntarily. In my case they couldn't even type my name straight it's at quite a nice angle across the line it's supposed to be on!

Not only Airbus our 787 ex LAX was delayed overnight due refrigeration problem

Yes I agree yield management at work but it is not having the desired effect. If flights in January are not full something is not working. People are obviously either not paying the ridiculous amounts being asked and not travelling or booking alternatives such as All Nippon Cathay and Singapore...

There is also a certain amount of what could be called price gouging or should we say a desire to maximize revenue on the part of airlines especially in January. On routes to USA and Japan QF is only offering top tier booking classes ie J W Y and if lucky a B class yet these flights are terribly...

Annoyed maybe Pissed off maybe Anger I don't think so. I thought my comments here were tempered and constructive and to be honest didn't expect to be lectured for having the hide to question the upgrade process of the airline. I can assure you with over 47 years industry experience including...

Yes chalk it up to experience as stuff does happen - goodness sounds like QF talking 'that's the way it is'. In this instance there is absolutely no benefit being granted an upgrade prior to the departure gate. If QF cannot confirm the higher class requested then they should not confirm...

Correct Y ticket purchased and request for J class upgrade actioned. As J was not available at 20 hours prior to departure PE was confirmed - once this was actioned the request for J is nullified. J seats became available and were then given to pax with lower status and in this instance at...

This happened today and as I had not seen any comment before - and quite possibly there has been and I have missed - just wondering what everyone's take on it is. P1 received upgrade to PE at -20 hours JC at that time showing full. At -10 hours seats in J/C became available. As connecting from...

They have set arrival of QF18 to 1947 which if it stays at that should help QF17 get away around 2200

LAX arrival

Unsure what hotels or meals have been provided as advice of delay was received prior to airport arrival so own arrangements found. $200 reimbursement has been offered. Not that it will cover expense but Insurance claim could. No doubt those at airport would be accommodated and some meal costs...

Some of the 18 pax were transferred to 12 but most are still in LAX

Friday 11 Jan QF 17 SYD LAX delayed till tomorrow currently 1300 with arrival LAX 0720 Sat 12th. QF 18 optimistically scheduled for 0935 departure arriving SYD Sunday at 1835

The best I have ever had was AA LAX SYD - all boarded and a family of 5 decided they did not want to travel so got off. Baggage located and removed door closed ready to leave and 2 more passengers decide they also don't want to travel so door is opened off they go and once more baggage located...

I think the major problem with QF delays isn't so much the reliability of the aircraft but the overall fleet numbers. In the past if an aircraft went US or was late release from maintenance they could swap an aircraft that was either due to depart later that day or was not scheduled out to the...

Just as an aside Qantas have not flown the BNE POM route for many years this is a code share operated by PX. As far as fares go $500 difference I don't think so. A quick check shows cheapest difference is less than $100 for Economy and around $170 for Business - but cheapest option in both...

HA lounges in Hawaii -basic basic basic! No food, no alcohol,plastic cups uncomfortable seating. The only good point was air conditioning. Restroom in HNL but not in outer islands.LAS in comparison was reasonable.

If you want a good night sleep why add to the travel time going via SIN? Qf now has A380 to HKG and in my opinion the seat/bed is as good as any. Have not flown SQ A380 but Skytrax seat reviews does have a lot of negative comments
