    AFR Article - Joe Aston goes BAM!

    Having travelled many of the peers this year - I feel like everyone in that field is largely similar in hard and soft product to be honest. Just a bad state in the airline industry if your not the ME3 or Singapore (which are not peers imo).

    Qantas fleet rebuild piece

    It is complicated, they ordered a bunch, airbus ended behind. Jetstar got most of the ones delivered. Some got turned into A321 NEO orders instead. Peasant make's it sound worse and simpler than it really is.

    What's the most obscure airport you've visited?

    I'd say barrow island for me personally in Aus and ironically Wiley Post Will Rogers in Alaska in an area called Barrow. Neither of which I ever intend to visit again.

    Qantas fleet rebuild piece

    A small counter point - they were also waiting to see where the next major aircraft capex was going, being Airbus or Boeing (777X only commencing 2020). With the effects of covid though, I'm not sure if they can manage to self-fund the life of the new fleet that is coming. Airlines continue to...

    Qantas Advertises "Fully Refundable" - but it Isnt!

    Term conditions on being 'fully refundable' are explicit and clearly spelled out prior to the payment. It is most certainly not deceptive, nor do I think it is misleading as the conditions are clearly expressed. Even if it was buried under an asterisk T&C's you are still taken to having read...

    Upgrade pecking order on QF1/2 QF3/4 QF9/10 where the first leg is full but not the second.

    It is a good question and one I have asked of a former staff member familiar with the process and never had a complete answer. Their take was that it was 2 segments and determined separately, but by requesting an upgrade for SYD-LHR you create in effect two upgrade requests in the system with...

    Qantas double status credits OR double points offer [book 23-28 March 2023]

    Not sure if you have booked flex fares, I always cancel and rebook during the window for any flex fares I have in the system and I rebook to qualify as long as there isn't a fare difference.

    Would you still fly Qantas if it had no frequent flyer program?

    Airlines sell a commodity product - anything telling you different is just marketing. The sooner people realise its a commodity product and realised it is generally priced accordingly, the sooner we get less price whinging and a more BFOD culture norm. Likely better products too in the long run.
