    Booking via Qantas UK site - will this cause problems?

    I'm planning a trip to Europe in March next year. I've not settled on the Australia to Europe leg, but pricing is expensive and I will probably go Economy. On the way back I know the date and that I will be going LHR - CBR, and I'd like to travel Premium Economy. As I search for available...

    Do you get tempted to indulge in the lounge, just because it's "free"?

    Ahhh yes, that pivotal life moment when you have been to a lunch in Sydney, are sitting in the lounge mid afternoon on the way to Adelaide for a dinner event and you contemplate the drink and plate of carbs in front of you and ask - What meal is this? That was my epiphany. Now I eat and drink...

    After originally trying 26 August and still not getting any further info ... I tried again tonight for a booking, no joy. So I rang the QF Platinum line ... For a start they couldn't apply the Business Rewards fare discount AND another promo code - no worries, lets just try the promo code...

    Article: Canberra Airport’s Facebook Page is Refreshingly Sassy

    It is just such a shame that they cannot do basic airport stuff well: security screening is endlessly frustrating with lack of adjustment to passenger demand (no, it is NOT a lack of staff, they have staff available and open up additional lanes, but way too slowly), having bays ready for...

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    I actually successfully logged onto my app the day it was announced and got the code then. The instructions were to save a screenshot if you wanted to use immediately but an email would come within 7 days. As I had three bookings to make that day I took the screenshot and tried, across all...

    Article: How to Improve Airport Security Queues

    Yeah, the full body scanners have definitely slowed things down. I go off every time in random places for false positives. I did a test keeping my watch on after taking it off. Made no difference to the hot spots picked up - nothing at the wrist.

    Article: How to Improve Airport Security Queues

    Amen to clearer signage! CBR is my home port but I've been traveling through ADL, BNE, SYD, MEL in the last week and each seem to have different rules. In BNE the rules at the premium scanning seem different to the regular one I had to use a few months back when the premium was closed. Even...

    Qantas to Remove Domestic Boarding Pass Printing from Kiosks

    Check in at the lounge and get my paper boarding pass. Been working for years and still reliable - unlike the app which crashes or hangs every second time I've tried to use it to keep up with the flow of where things are headed. Don't get me started on the extra delays at the gate and door...
