    Good News! Pyjamas on (almost) all Qantas international flights in J!

    OK, I'll put my pennies worth in. I see it as a waste of world resources to supply PJ's for 28+ pax on a day time flight. I just flew from Syd-Hong Kong. The flight departed at 10:45 morning and landed in HK at 16:30 the same day. Are pax really that needy that they need PJ's for a day time...

    Article: How to Stop Airlines Losing Your Checked Baggage

    I used my AirTag when BA "lost" my bag. I was able to tell them that it was 17 meters south of Terminal 2 at Manchester, beside gate 17 !! Another trick I do is ALWAYS and ALWAYS take a photo oof my bag when I check it in so 1) if it does go missing, I can show them a picture of what the bag...

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    I have written aircraft safety briefs in the past. Research shows that if the video is more than 5 minutes long, people loose interest. This one appears to be a promo for Qantas and not a safety brief. I can see a 9 and a half minute safety video causing delays while passengers watch this film

    New Ability to Purchase Single-Visit Lounge Passes

    My pennies worth.......it's wrong to sell lounge access to the first lounges, either pay to fly first of pay to sit on many many flights to get to Platinum. After the pandemic, I transited through MEL a lot. I would be in the Biz lounge as a Plat member and the lounge was full of idiots and I...

    Qantas Frequent Flyer changes coming in early 2024

    Classic rewards.....a joke. I can see seats from Sydney to Taiwan with Classic Rewards but when I go to book, NO SEATS available. Is this a case of Q advertising seats that aren't for sale? I even looked at CR to Singapore in Business then buying my own flights to Taiwan but there are no...

    $10 increase on Passenger Movement Charge to $70 from 1 July 2024

    That's not my point. The government are taxing farmers to pay for bio-security but the PDT was set up to pay for that system so what do they really want ? Passengers to pay or farmers. Most pollies have never left the inner city and have NO idea where our food comes from

    What do you do with the amenity kit?

    Let's be honest, you don't get much in a kit these days compared to the 1980's. I flew Both First and Biz in the late 80's and the kits were jam packed with goodies, perfumes, lip balms etc. Now you get a bag with a pen, pair of cheap socks, ear bud things and toothbrush. Almost the same as...

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    Can I be honest ? Good, the business lounge in Sydney during the school holidays is a joke, kids running a-muck, parents not controlling them, every man and his dog in there. I regularly use the Gold lounge as it a lot quieter

    $10 increase on Passenger Movement Charge to $70 from 1 July 2024

    Now the Federal government is putting a tax on fresh food farmers to pay for bio-security. That begs the question, why there's a $10 increase in PDT. I smell something fishy and its not fish

    $10 increase on Passenger Movement Charge to $70 from 1 July 2024

    I wonder if the Politicians will have to pay? AirMiles Albo could have paid off our national dept by now and Penny Wong could have put us in surplus. Who am I kidding, of course they won't pay, we always pay it for them.

    Article: Long-Haul Economy Class - A Valuable Reality Check

    For some reason, Bose headsets DON'T block screaming babies. The crew did little to help or from what I could see. My flight over was with EK, the WORST flight of my life, over 6 hour delay out of Brisbane, missed my connection to Oslo then put up in a cough hotel overnight, the bed was...

    Article: Long-Haul Economy Class - A Valuable Reality Check

    I have just flown to Norway and back for work. I managed to Bis to Singapore with Qantas but the flight from Singapore back to bris was in Econ, the dreaded night flight. HORRIFIC !! A family had a 7 month old child who screamed his offing lungs out from push back to landing. The baby was in...

    Qantas to Remove Domestic Boarding Pass Printing from Kiosks

    I think some people are missing the point. Qantas are now mandating you too carry a smart phone and be tech savvy. These apps at best a moderately easy to use for an older person and in some cases down right impossible. Often a younger relative would have made the booking for an older family...

    Qantas to Remove Domestic Boarding Pass Printing from Kiosks

    Qantas to Remove Domestic Boarding Pass Printing from Kiosks

    How to alienate your elderly Pax, BAD move Qantas, very bad move. I'm a Plat FF and I HATE with every fibre in my body this poxy self checkin modules then the baggage drop off things.
