    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Likewise, my double status from start of March are in. Seem the initial flights at the start of the period have come in a bit quicker than past years.

    https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/qantas-announces-new-chairman/ Former Telstra chairman John Mullen has been drafted to become the next chair at Qantas, replacing Richard Goyder. Reading his bio in the release. Mr Mullen is certainly racking up the director fees at the moment...

    Is travel to Israel/ME realistically possible?

    Looks like all the major airlines which suspended flights last year (Emirates, Cathay, the euro and US carriers) are returning to Tel Aviv from March, so that would be an indication that it is possible from a logistics perspective.

    AA to fly BNE to DFW [confirmed]

    Heard from a friend at Brisbane Airport that AA is going to be starting services later this year. Apparently it will be announced very late tonight Australian time, but morning in the US. Certainly will make QF's option to the US even more inferior.

    Qantas hires consultants to improve on-time performance

    Hopefully they take a look at the A380s... Seems like there is always some kind of hold up making them push up a little bit later than scheduled than say Singapore Airlines and Emirates in my experience.

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    Had the new version on our flight to Noumea the other day + plus the French version of it, which probably all up took 8 minutes. The French one was much shorter without all the backstories and took just under 3 minutes.

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    Edited version is much better than the media cut, but six minutes is still a very long safety video. I feel 4 minutes is the sweet spot in keeping people engaged like the "safety in style" era from 2013-2015

    Qantas Damaged Bag

    My Samsonite bag came out on the carousel at Sydney T3 on Monday missing a wheel, which is not ideal when flying out again on holidays in a few days time. Saw Baggage Services who have did some paperwork and have also had to complete the online form on "what to do next" in getting it repaired...

    Do you prefer silent airport lounges & terminals with no announcements?

    Happy for a quiet lounge if only visual announcements/airport website information actually matches with what is happening at the gate. Too many times I've gone to the gate when I first see "boarding" on the screen to find out that boarding has not started, or that the plane has literally...

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    Will be good to see the A220 enter service for Qantas considering it is such a great aircraft. For me it is crazy to think that today's Qantas had 140 aircraft in its mainline division in 2013 compared to 126 today. Current fleet age is 14.6 years compared to 7.9 years in 2013. This comes...

    QF inflight safety video

    Obviously, Qantas wanted to extract every dollar celebrating its 100th birthday to milk the safety video for nearly four years. I must admit that I've stopped actively watching it because of the number of times I've heard it (feel sorry for the crew), and also because it goes for an awful long...

    Qantas, Virgin, Qatar called to assist with Israel repatriation flights

    I wonder if it was to ensure that the crew could operate their normal rotation through both Singapore and London as it would seem strange to ferry a plane to Dubai via London.

    Qantas frequent flyers unleash over ‘almost worthless points’ in submissions to Senate

    Might not be completely relevant, but it looks like Qantas has quietly increased the taxes on domestic classic reward flights. It is now showing me $51 in taxes/surcharges to fly between Sydney and Brisbane. I booked a reward booking at the end of September for travel between these two cities at...

    AFR Article - Joe Aston goes BAM!

    https://www.afr.com/companies/media-and-marketing/joe-aston-to-leave-the-financial-review-20231006-p5eabf Joe Aston has resigned from The Australian Financial Review. I'm sure champagne corks will be popping across Mascot and at a certain undisclosed location in Europe.

    Disinfectant Spray on arrival at SYD

    QF76 29 September - when your business class flight arrives at the Qantas Freight terminal

    Not that surprising that they would use remote stands at Sydney Airport when tomorrow for example there are 36 international arrivals between 6am and 8am and 15 departures in that period. Certainly a case for a terminal expansion. Have been greeted with a bus upon arrival or departure in CAN...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Quick little question that I had not cared much about until now. Booked 2 x return domestic flights for next weekend and Qantas has only deducted points half of the points required. Manage booking says that it is still "processing", but is it worth following it up now or is likely to be solved...
