    Non-stop Sydney-to-London flights by 2022 (AJ)

    Wouldn't really be much of a competitive advantage if you start seeing BA, LH, AF, AY, TK, KL, etc. fly non stops to Sydney from their respective hubs with the same kind of aircraft. Considering they're going on about a 20% premium I don't see myself using it often, maybe once for the novelty...

    Brisbane Lounge Changes

    Used a different shower room today and noticed that the shower had some new contraption bolted on to the wall that holds all 3 Aspar bottles! Including the body cleanser :) The 2-bottle tray was still there but unused. Didn't check the shower room I previously used (occupied) but hopefully...

    Brisbane Lounge Changes

    Just visited for the first time, overall great lounge. If you're transiting or accessing the lounge after your flight, access is kinda like in MEL how you go through the QC to get to the J lounge, this however is a much shorter walk where you immediately exit the lounge into the common area...

    QFF award ticket fuel surcharge?

    Been in this situation far too many times, wish they'd follow BA's lead in showing the full cost of both points and taxes/fees in the search results itself.

    Manila QF Lounge - worst QF lounge I've ever experienced

    Even if QF moved to T3, access to the CX lounge is no guarantee if the SFO lounge situation is any indication Sitting in front of an empty lounge, the lounge dragon would note "but sir/ma'am, we have seven flights today"

    SmartBus 901 to Melbourne Airport

    Certainly beats the skybus fares. Though about 2 years ago on the bus from Broadmeadows, the bus stopped a couple of stops before the airport for around 30 minutes to change drivers, which resulted in me running through the terminal to catch my flight. Gate had actually just closed by then but...

    Qantas' Asian transformation - highest Asian activity ever - Centre for Aviation CAPA

    Re: Qantas' Asian transformation - highest Asian activity ever - Centre for Aviation BOM, ICN, TPE are what I'd like to see looking forward. KUL and KIX potentially as well. Feel BOM in particular is a no brainer with the lack of any direct services currently. They seem to be doing well enough...

    Current F Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    New Spring menu Tried the bocconcini, fab. Sticky beef, flavours were all there but unfortunately a little overcooked. On another note, this was only my second visit to the SYD Flounge since hitting platinum last month and was surprised that the waiter serving me last time recognised me...

    CX Lounge entry denied (SFO)

    Re: No access to Cathay lounge in SF Ah yep, my bad :oops: But still very much empty at QF74 departure even with 2 flights. Wouldn't they bill QF anyhow, seems like the smart thing to do is to maximise profit noting the fixed labour costs by getting in as much QF pax as possible before the...

    Large carry on aa

    The only time I've seen it enforced, as in check using the basket size thing, was on a flight out of CLT, 'full flight' and they were looking for 20 odd people to gate check their bags. But for the most part, it does seem to be a free for all.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Recently finished 2 back-to-back ex-YVR runs. 16 flights all up. Service was surprisingly ok for the most part, and on my last 3 segments they were downright incredible. Had one particular FA on a CLT-DFW flight and she would have to be the...

    CX Lounge entry denied (SFO)

    Re: No access to Cathay lounge in SF Another data point: last QF74 passenger allowed in at 9:05pm on Thursday. The lady at the front desk kept telling other QF pax that they were "too busy" and that they had 2 flights that night, which was a blatant lie as there was only 1 since CX893 doesn't...
