    No, it is a AA lounge in DFW.

    MEL reportedly best airport in Australia

    I’m pretty sure there’s an identical thread for last year. MEL is an oppressive concrete hellscape and the only thing it has going for it is the walkability between terminals. No thanks.

    Fairer & Simpler Enhanced QFF Optus Plans effective 12 Apr

    QF isn’t really the airline for the price sensitive.

    Fairer & Simpler Enhanced QFF Optus Plans effective 12 Apr

    Hopefully QF will strike a deal with Telstra. Seems a good fit since they already have their own reward currency.

    Middle East Airspace Closures [QF9 to LHR cancelled]

    The airspace has reopened and airlines are slowing coming back. Seems limited to non-western airlines at the moment (eg EK, QR, TK etc).

    Qantas - new SYD-AKL-YYZ 787 service rumours

    AA don’t have the aircraft either. BNE-DFW is only in NH winter as that is the peak season for US carriers flying to Australasia (they use a lot of capacity in their summer going to Europe). Can’t see QF giving up the route even for the JV - more likely is QF continuing with LAX and AA...

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    I'm not sure that pax getting itchy eyes is exactly newsworthy. There's often a delayed effect so many could probably not identify the source of the reaction.

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    You are aware it’s not binary right? There is a concept called dosage. I’m extremely allergic to dust but as you can imagine dust is everywhere and can’t be completely eradicated, yet I’m fine in most hotels and commercial settings as they have regular cleaning. It’s common sense having...

    Qantas Travel Money changing to Qantas Pay - May 2024

    I imagine this move will be the final blow to physical FF cards, which is a shame.

    What is the best airport name you have come across

    The new Brisbane airport doesn’t have a name other than Brisbane International. The old airport was named Eagle Farm and considering some parts remain and were incorporated into the new airport (part of the old runway is now a taxiway), a lot of people still call it Eagle Farm. I do think...

    Fiji Airways confirms will seek full OneWorld membership

    These airline boards aren’t sitting around playing petty politics, they’re doing whatever they can do to make more money. You think the board of AA will tear up the profitable JV with QF, for QR who (may) own a minority stake and absolutely no role in trans pacific routes for AA? Just...

    Fiji Airways confirms will seek full OneWorld membership

    I think you need to chill about QR. Everything will be just fine. QF is an active member of oneworld and the new CEO comes from AS, which QF has very good relations with. Also QF and AA are very close, they’ve even got Doug on the QF board now. If anything QR has made a habit of making...

    Extra security at Qantas boarding gate for USA Flights

    That sounds normal. They're checking for that little sticker where you get asked why you're travelling to the US / if you packed your own bag etc. They check these at SYD to make sure connecting pax have been asked,.

    Middle East Airspace Closures [QF9 to LHR cancelled]

    Iran has said the attack has concluded (once these reach their targets). Now it’s a question of the retaliation. RAF are sending reinforcements.

    Middle East Airspace Closures [QF9 to LHR cancelled]

    I've seen rogue reports of that but none from creditable sources. Flightradar shows a massive amount of civil aircraft in its airspace right now. QF10 recently flew over Egypt, Saudi, UAE and Oman to get home.

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    I've seen it quite often, and sometimes even seen J fares cheaper than Y fares when both are cash.
