    Are other airlines also as bad as Qantas?

    What Trippin said. By the way Airlines are not exempt from the Australian Consumer Law, regardless of what they try to tell you. You could take them to your state's small claims court if you were suitably annoyed.

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate True :) But in penance, for the DXB - LHR leg the upgrade gods put me next to a 2yr old who was not happy to be there, and certainly was not having any of this "sit quietly and watch the tv" nonsense. So no sleep for me on that leg :(.

    WiFi on QF Domestic

    True, but the lack of bandwidth won't stop people trying.

    WiFi on QF Domestic

    It won't be without limit. All you need is one person deciding to watch Netflix, or updating their dropbox, or a few people streaming their favorite radio station and there would be no bandwidth available for anyone else on the plane.

    What are your pet annoyances on Qantas?

    I always thought the "grab your ankles" thing was to try to ensure you are doubled over as far as possible, to try to prevent submarining under the lap belt, or reducing the impact of your face onto your knees in the event of a survivable crash? Obviously if you hit the ground at several...

    Cabin Cleaning A380

    Thank heavens it wasn't a used condom, which I can only assume is due more to luck than efficient cleaning practices. Seriously these reports are not good enough in Y, let alone any higher class.

    Qantas Award Charges Outrageous

    Don't Qantas buy their fuel on the futures market? Ie. the fuel price Qantas pay has nothing to do with day-to-day oil price fluctuations, and depends entirely on the rate the negotiated back when the current fuel supply contract was signed. I'm not saying the Qantas charges are justified...

    EK F MEL-AKL, better to check in in person at 4.30am on day of flight?

    That's doesn't sound right. Can you click on the link I sent via PM? Or just google "Photorec" and make sure you go to the cgsecurity link, and not any others that come up. Then download the correct version for your operating system and CPU. Once you have it (assuming you haven't given up...

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate If you go to the Qantas web site and select "Manage your booking" you should be able to click on the upgrade button, which will take you to a page that will list each segment of your booking. Next to each segment will either be an "Apply for upgrade" link/button or...

    Qantas online Mall, cookies and points

    I bought a couple of small items from the Apple Store and received an email from Qantas about the points after the products were delivered to me. Up until the Qantas email arrived there was absolutely no feedback or indication of success or failure of the tracking system. The whole experience...

    I joined in 1997 and have 715 Liftetime SC. So using that as an average I only have around 157 years to go! So close I can taste it... :)

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate I'm 3/3 for Domestic Y -> J (MEL<->SYD). I have 2 requests for Y+ ->J Feb/March next year (QF1, 2 day stop-over in DXB then pick up QF1 again) and 1 in April (QF10) but those are popular routes so not expecting anything.

    Classic Upgrade Reward...

    Only the Airport prior to the Business flight unfortunately. Still, a nice way to ease out of the holiday :) Er Yeah, and as other have stated, if you meant ADL-> SYD, then you only get access at ADL.

    Classic Upgrade Reward...

    Hi, Sounds like an awesome trip. I'm terribly jealous :) Others will no-doubt chime in to correct any inaccuracies I'm about to spout, but as far as I'm aware what will happen is this: Your baggage allowance for the Domestic Business leg (SYD->ADL) will be the domestic business allowance...
