I do have to agree with Token01, the board have penny pinched for soooo long now that It's become the norm. I genuinely blame AJ for all the difficulties QF are going through. He was a bean counter in a previous life so screwing 10 cents here and 5 cents there is what he bought o Qantas, from...

Got to say, it does look like entry level BA

What I really want to know is ow is, where does the "green money", i.e. carbon offset fee go to. I see nothing or read nothing about the thousands of trees they want to plant or other projects that were talked of. I do my green thing, I have 12.4Kw's of solar panels, a 15Kw battery, a battery...

As someone just said, it depends on the lounge. I was in Scotland last month visiting the oldies and a radio add came on saying "book a flight with XYZ airlines and we'll throw in free lounge access." This was aimed at the "tourist" market for flights to the Mediterranean. Personally I HATE...

I was flying helicopters in Denmark in the late 90's/early 2000's from Esbjerg to/from the oil fields. On three seperate flights, we had PAX come forward and say they needed to pee/poop. Bearing in mind, the PAX ( and crew) wore dry suits and life-jackets. The flights were 1 hour 15 to 1 hour...

I think I was on this flight but a few rows behind. Was it the flight were the Qantas booking computers in Maroochydore failed and manual check-in was required resulting in a 1 hour 55 min late departure ? If that's the case, NO-ONE at the airport or plane would have known your status as all...

Another reason why people try and carry so much it the time it takes to get the bag at the baggage carousel. I'm a premium flyer and my hold bag has "Premium", Priority Business" or Priority on them. I can GUARANTEE, a dollar to a dime that my bag WILL ALWAYS be in the last 10% on the carousel...

Couldn't agree more. The Lo-Co's drove this attitude, charging an arm and both legs to check a bag in

I flew from Syd-Perth last Thursday. I was in row 5 or 6 and boarded in group 1. Half way through boarding, a man walked past me with 5, yes 5 bags. Many of my flights are delayed as the last PAX struggle to find a place to store there multiple bags. A couple of years ago, Virgin cracked...

Every time I've been in the SIN F lounge, it's been busy with BA and Qatar high tier members all praising the lounge thus bringing in even more BA/Qatar high tier members

Emirates.......never again to the point that I told the company I work for, if they EVER book me an Emirates flight again, I will hand in my notice there and then. Last year I was flying from Brisbane-Dubai-Oslo. the aircraft went tech when ready to push back, ALL the PAX were kept on the...

I've had a couple of free biz upgrades from Sunshine Coast to Sydney and one from Sydney to Perth, very unexpected but it was defiantly welcomed

I was lucky enough to fly on Concorde twice in 1996, LHR-JFK-LHR and the crew gave away leather wallets, pens and a leather document holder with a super-sonic certificate signed by the flight crew.......do I win ??

great. good news !! Thanks for the info

MEL Traveller, only one member of the house would join then bring his wife and screaming kids in a guests. How else do all the kids get into the lounges over the holidays. I'm not poo pooing it but as someone who does more than his fair share of Q flying (96 Qantas flights per year interstate...

I agree with KCP but there are an awful lot of people out there who want to use the lounge rather than buy a KFC meal, totally agree that some gold lounges are getting a bit tired and some like the Perth lounge gets busier than a stampede at sale time and that will only get worse.

Me thinks this will make the lounges even busier than they already are as people will book and pay for 28 days at a time, i.e, school holidays so even more badly behaved kids running in the lounge and chucking food everywhere........ummmmm

I know one airline that get the cabin crew to call the flight deck to get the seatbelt sign turned on if passengers crowd the galley and star becoming annoying to the cabin crew

Here's what upsets me. I try and live a sustainable life, I have 12.32Kws of panels on my roof, I have a 15Kw Sonnen Battery that runs my house when the sun goes down, I drive an EV that is charged from my surplus solar power. I have a Sanden Hot system that uses heat pump technology to heat my...

I find as I get older (and not wiser) that I take longer to fall asleep. and sleep lighter. In Qantas Biz in the 330, I find the seats to narrow and snuggle to sleep, I get wedged in the seat, better in the 380, I think they have a slightly wider bed. I once fell asleep out of Bangkok before...
