Once you've done the bridge once, Sydney is done. At least in Melbourne the attractions are constantly evolving and are repeatable.

Take flying EU to Australia as an example (via Dubai) DXB take off at 10am, MEL/SYD/BNE/ADL land at 6am. I am sleeping the first half of that flight whilst it's in daytime. Otherwise I land at 6am and my sleep schedule is out of whack. Is that not reasonable? Yes but imagine forcing everyone...

One person's want to see outside doesn't overule 100 people's need to sleep. No matter whether it's day or night outside, if the flight is longer than ~6-8 hours expect the majority of passengers to want to get at least some sleep. Can always go to the exit and look out the window which is...

Rumour on Airliners.net about an upgrade to J service (didn't specify Dom/Int). Anyone hear heard anything about it? Plenty of room for improvement.

Is there any reason why this itinerary would not be valid (stopping over in all five cities: SIN, HEL, TYO, SYD and LAX)

In this scenario, one could argue that you booked with AY from SEA-HEL and therefore, they are responsible for finding you the connecting flight between SEA-xx_ to connect to xx_-HEL. If an award flight cannot be found, then it should be a cash seat paid for by them. No different to anyone who...

A 787-10 is a different aircraft to a 787-9, so a different configuration would be guaranteed.

That wouldn't change the configuration of the A/C tho (42J/28W/166Y)

Does anyone buy the $750 red wine subscription? Have the wines substantially changed from quarter to quarter?

The seats fold down (like the old SQ business class seats). It's not an ideal product, and no it's not for everyone. A bit like the finnair seat that doesn't recline at all. The benefit here is the same as Euro Business. QF can fly a short domestic leg with 24 business recliner seats and then...

This post could go here or the A321XLR thread, but couldn't find that one so posting here. I came across a business class called the Butterfly Single-Aisle. Effectively it's two recliner business class seats that can be converted into a single lieflat suite. It's quite an interesting concept...

Yea I saw that. One wine subscription gives PC after a year. Two subscriptions PCP plus an RTW award in J. It's a lot of wine, but the value for money is interesting.

Thanks. Seems like an interesting way to boost up to PC or PCP whilst buying points for "cheap". Hmm.

Somewhat stupid question, but does Qantas Wine count towards the "Qantas Points earned 'on the ground' (e.g. from credit cards, car hire and insurance)" category? Would assume so but can't find anything definitive.

They were switched off (nothing on the screens) with a temporary sign (laminated) saying out of order. Make of that what you will...

Perth was similar a couple of weeks ago, and it was sporadic which ones were "broken". Sounds like putting off maintenance has caught up with QF (Again).

I just think they should replace the classic rewards system with a more generous points plus play system, with the points being a fixed ratio for distance still. If the fare bucket is still available for sale then you can still book it with points (and you get the fare conditions of what you...

More likely version of events: Qantas backend software is old and cooked (aka cheap) and in 5 years time the accounts team will eventually realise you got charged twice by mistake. Just let Amex deal with it, can guarantee you the level entry phone rep only sees one charge (and has no agency to...

I quote the investor pack "The Group has today announced a firm order for 24 widebody aircraft, consisting of 12 Boeing 787s and 12 Airbus A350s. With deliveries starting in FY27 and continuing into the next decade, these aircraft will replace the bulk of the current A330 fleet" Nothing here...

The extra are A350s are a nice surprise. Thought it might've been 10 B787-10s if at all. With those in mind, I think it's likely the B787-9s get a refurb to go 30J/21W/211Y (removing the 2nd J cabin, removing one row of W and backfilling with more Y). B787-10 to go for 36J/21W and the...
