Rookie error on my behalf. Ended up having a good feed regardless ☺️

Was at the spice bar late last week, and have to say that the pork dish was very popular in the lounge (I preferred over the kimchi rice). The other hot dishes in the buffet area were chili con carne, lentil dahl, and an Asian noodles dish. A few guys in front of me in the spice bar line...

Amex Explorer cardholder Last week attempted twice to see if could get retention points due to krisflyer deval, less favourable cashback offers, worse shop-small etc, and was not offered anything (besides changing to another card). First rep said that they dont offer retention bonuses anymore...

For people wanting to redeem avios on domestic Qantas flights, are the taxes the same with Qatar avios and BA avios, or is one of the airlines cheaper than the other?

Late night flight QF498 from MEL - SYD. Only option available was an Mediterranean vegetable pizza slice. Passengers who rejected were offered rice crackers as an alternative. Seconds were offered by the crew on their way back to the galley. Pizza tasted rather bland and salty, however was...

Flying on the E190, I feel the overall product feels a bit of a step down from Qantas mainline fleet also. The thing is that Qantas has a current 717 fleet of 12, whilst they have currently 29 A220's on order, so its inevitable that the A220's will take over some of the routes that are...

Disappointed that this pretty much confirms that the a220 is going to have only x10 J seats instead of x12 of the current 717.. yet this aircraft having more passengers (137 vs 110 on the 717 2-class). A positive is that there in an extra toilet on the aircraft vs the 717 (3 vs 2). Not a huge...

Honestly traveling with Qantas a few times this year, I’ve been really disappointed with the food offered on their planes, especially to the offerings provided pre-Covid. I remember traveling between bris/mel/syd and receiving a hot boxed meal (eg stir-fry noodles, curry etc) in 2019. Although...

I think that Qantas going with the a320 family and a220 was the right choice regarding their fleet strategy. As others have noted in the forum, I expect that Qantas will not exclusively order the a321xlr, though will down the road also mix up their fleet with a320’s also. Regarding their...

I agree with you that instead of doing long haul themselves, they just might decide it’s cheaper and easier just to do partnerships with other airlines. I am kind of on the fence to be honest on which way they’ll go, though do feel they’ll expand their aircraft type eventually (whether it’s an...

As per Virgin Australia's Lounge T&C's 5.3 Access on arrival (a) Subject to space availability, Members, Velocity Platinum Members, Velocity Gold Members, their Invited Guests and Business Class Guests may access the Lounge in their arrival port immediately upon arrival with a Virgin Australia...

Further adding to my comments above, agree with you and @Bell21 that it’s probably a combination of cost pressures (trying to remain lean), and not expecting the NZ bubble announcement so soon; and not having the required planes as such. Qantas is able to resume the flights quickly as it has...

I believe it’s going to take some time before we know what Virgin means by a hybrid carrier, as I honestly don’t think that the new management have figured this out yet either, and are taking things day by day. With Bain under the helm, I feel that every component of the business will be...

Hey Guys. Could I please confirm whether I can cancel (and be refunded) a Qantas Domestic Business fare purchased with points (classic reward) right up to departure, or whether I must cancel > 24 hours before my departure time to be refunded. Looking on the Qantas website and my ticket...
