Like a lot of FF’s I spend a lot of time hanging around baggage carousels waiting for my luggage to appear. And it’s got me thinking, why does it generally take so long in Australia for luggage to make its way from a flight to the carousel…is it the fault of the QF Baggage Handlers or an...

On Monday I returned from Singapore on QF6 landing around 6am…being a public holiday I asked my wife to pick me up as traffic at that time of the morning would be very light. Also I wanted to save on the usual $120 taxi fare home…I live in Suburbia around 40k’s from the Airport. As we all...
