First in, best dressed.....

The QF10 VH-ZND is returning to LHR with a suspected tail strike. Wx is shocking around LHR with lots of diverts to the mainland and missed approaches.

Qantas (QF) #8 So it appears that the 8 is currently filed for BNE instead of SYD. I believe this is the first time since the service upgraded to A380s Any ideas on why? Flight time is 15:38, so one would have thought plenty of endurance left for SYD?

What are everyone's thoughts? My own: If it ain't broke..... Bit of a shame that Seat Selection still requires all flights to be selected in a single process! #firstworldproblems

OK, I'm going on a rant! :evil: Like many, I do not leave home without my beloved Bose QC15 headphones, and often carry 2-3 spare AAA's in the case due to high usage both in the air and on the ground! From experience, HBA is the only airport in the country that insists you: a) Remove loose...

Morning folks, Have a stack of QF DOM flights across various PNRs coming up over the next few weeks. Logged on today to check some seating assignments, and to my surprise I'm unable to select exit rows on any of my flights (737/767). Anyone else experiencing this issue? Status is SG! :lol:

Searching through the S7 website, I managed to price SYD-FRA-DME for sub $1K AUD after conversion. QF flight number for SYD-FRA-SYD legs then S7 to Moscow (I wonder if you can jump off at FRA and forget the Moscow legs?). J comes out around $4.5K and should provide a healthy 640SCs I don't see...

Qantas giving pilots leave to go fly for Emirates | Plane Talking "In a move that will baffle many Australians, Qantas has told its pilots that it will give first officers three years leave without pay to go and fly for its fastest growing long haul competitor, Emirates. The notice...

Don't have a link yet, but hearing reports of QF offering VR options for mainline crew. :confused: Please consider this information unconfirmed/pending.

Howdy all, Out of curiosity, I though I'd initiate this thread to gauge everyone's experiences on stolen luggage - my definition being when the bag is returned, but several items are no longer visible :oops: Where has this happened to you? --------------- LAX Recently travelled...

(Pictures coming soon - pls check back) This is my first attempt at a TR, so be nice :) QF7 SYD-DFW 16MAY 2011 VH-OEE – 747-400ER Premium Economy (seated in Skybed) Less than a week after the flying kangaroo bid farewell to the northern California port of SFO, it was Dallas’ turn to welcome...

Hi all, I am currently between jobs and have a number of weeks & $1000 worth of QF credit to kill, and a quick trip to Asia came to mind as a cost effective use of my vouchers. Travel will be alone on this occasion. My initial thoughts are 3 nights in Honkers, and possibly 1-2 in SIN (although...

Hi troops, Been a while since I last booked an award flight, but I'm having serious problems getting direct (or direct with a tech stop) flights for LHR/LAX/DFW-SYD in the second half of September/October. Notwithstanding school holidays towards the latter half of this period, for the life of...

Qantas pulling out of HNL - PPRuNe Forums Interesting rumours on PPRuNe suggesting either: 1) QF dumping HNL, subbed for Jetstar - the spreading cancer! 2) Upgrade to red tail A330 I sure hope it's the latter! Call me an alarmist, but I don't see QF Int'l making their 100th b'day at this...

Very clever stuff! :p YouTube - REALLY FUNNY!! SNL skit on TSA's Enhanced Screening Pat Down Procedures

Policy: British Airways - Seating guide G'day AFF troops, I'm trying to allocate a mix of bulkhead seats for 2 pax in my PNR for a set of return flights in November to Cairo. (I am a QF SG/OWS) According to the policy, all seats should be available on a "first come, first served" basis...

Hi troops, Thinking of flying Starclass to/from DPS. Coming home, JQ36 runs DPS-MEL-SYD Will I receive SCs for both legs, or is this filed as a single flight (DPS-SYD)? Cheers :cool:

G'day AFFers, I have a number of O/S trips to make this year and have noticed in various trips reports that some people elect to pause/resume their xONEx tickets at various stages throughout their travels. This will be the first time I've used a RTW ticket (hence my post today). OK here's my...
