QF has started installing 23 pairs of split scimitar winglets on their B737s. I think that they look great. Apparently it takes more than 500 man hours to install each one...

I'm very interested to see how this works out (hopefully for the better) https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-advice/flights/united-airlines-will-board-window-seat-economy-passengers-first/news-story/19d27ca4227ac6b9b9b23a2d02914b83 As of next week, United Airlines economy passengers sitting...

Tripped over this interesting article that suggested that the author could beat jetlag by only eating on the ground at departure and upon arrival. During the flight, they only had water. I've never done this, and never really had exceptionally bad jetlag. Plus, I'm too greedy to say no to food...

OK its been a while since I last booked a flight for me and the Mrs. Did this last night and in my joint booking (ADL-SYD return), when I went to select seats I got mine for free (Gold) and Mrs (Bronze) was to be charged $5/seat selection. Previously, I thought that there was no charge for her...

Read this funny story (only because I wasn't on the flight). https://www.traveller.com.au/why-dont-airlines-upgrade-you-when-seats-are-empty-flight-turns-back-after-economy-passengers-upgrade-themselves-to-business-class-h21dvz I have no pity for them. Some people are so entitled! Hope that...

Hi Folks This is my PSA about QF Business Rewards - your points expire after 18mths of inactivity. I only found this out/reminded myself when I logged into my account and noticed 270,000 odd points had been zero-ed out on 01/08/2021. I basically forgot about QF Business Rewards since I haven't...

I might be slow on the uptake but is it a recent thing that ATO payments on St George Amplify Signature VISA no longer earn any points?

Just finished reading this article - https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/airbus-a320neo-boeing-737-max-battle-for-billion-dollar-qantas-order It got me to thinking. I know that it comes down to price but what would us as customers like to see QF purchase? A320 or B737? I'm thinking that...

No idea what this chap was thinking. https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/man-filmed-climbing-onto-vegas-plane-wing-before-flight-take-off/news-story/ddb3d542e92f0c63dcad5595f2bf1dbd However, it did teach me something. I always thought that wingtips were small whenever I was...

If I'm not mistaken QF lease/own B747-8F x2 but they don't fly in QF colours. I think they fly with the Atlas Air colours. Any idea as to why they are not in QF or QF Freight livery?

To the brains trust. I'm asking how much of a refund should I be expecting from QF for my involuntary flight changes. Here is the story. I bought 1x ADL-SYD-DPS return flight on QF in J via Flight Centre for $2400. I claimed a classic awards ticket for my wife on exactly the same flights. Due...

My parents are flying QF's 787 MEL-PTH-LHR return in J. What are peoples opinion on the best J seats for a couple? I was thinking that the mini cabin might be a good spot for them? Open to suggestions. TIA
