    Does anyone have any idea what QF780 is doing tonight?

    Just came across this weird flight path (and checked on other tracking sites too). Anyone any idea what they might be doing? Couldn’t see any NOTAM’s along the way… Maybe @jb747 ?

    QF swapping QF25/26 from 787 to 330 from 1 April 2024

    There is discussion ongoing in some of the FB Groups that QF is taking out a 787 on the QF25/26 route (SYD to Haneda) and sub in an A330 instead from 1 April. Any idea where the frame is coming from and where the 787 frame is going to? Maybe the Hawaii route?

    Why does Qantas not entertain an overnight flight from Sydney to Singapore?

    Haven’t found this topic being discussed but generally interested why. - Is it slot restrictions for an early arrival in SIN? - Maxed out capacity between SYD & SIN based on bilaterales? - Missing airframes? - Something else? ChatGBT has no helpful answer for me either…

    More curious than ranting. Just tried to use the J priority boarding line for LAN800 SYD to AKL booked Y as QF codeshare. QF Gold. DNata dragon told me that I can’t use priority boarding as LAN exited Oneworld. Is that true? I made it onto the aircraft of course!

    Check-in situation for QF44 (DPS - SYD)

    Hi all I am doing the dreadful redeye in Y in two weeks time. I notice there are heaps of Jetstar flights to SIN, one to MEL, and two other QF flights to PER/MEL. Can I assume that check-in is essentially open all afternoon until early evening for my QF44 flight? Any experience with the...

    SIM card (data only) for Turkey

    Does anyone have any bright ideas how to deal with Turkey? Most SIM card providers like SIMCorner or SIMsDirect charge quite heavily (in relative terms) for coverage in Turkey. I couldn't bother buying a local SIM card when I was there last year but will be there for two weeks, so need to make...

    Baggage Allowance on El Al for a Qantas Reward Economy ticket?

    As per title, does anyone have any experience with the baggage allowance on El Al when booked through Qantas? During the entire booking process, Qantas just stated "1 piece of luggage" but nowhere can it be seen what that means (23kg?, 32kg?, less, more?). The eTicket is also not helpful as it...

    Adding a child to a KF redemption booking / book for a child standalone?

    Hi everyone - a bit of a weird one that I could not figure out online as well as call centre waiting times for SQ are shocking.

    Why a Qantas Hawaii Lounge?

    Saw on another site that QF just refurbished its QF lounge in Hawai serving essentially one single flight. Why??? Does anyone have any clue? Sounds like quite an expensive exercise for a single flight & not catering for the JQ flight. Plus there are other OW lounges there. Is there a historic...

    Does anyone have any experience with baggage interline on QF (Reward - first PNR, SYD to Jakarta) and subsequently QR (Paid - second PNR, Jakarta to Europe). The QF homepage seems to suggest baggage “maybe” checked through in this scenario: “^ Exemptions apply for customers travelling on a...

    Why does the QF1/2 A380 sit in LHR all day?

    As per headline, was this question ever answered? Is it due to crew rest rosters, slot restrictions in LHR/SIN, curfew fears in SYD or something else/a combination of it? I would think that parking fees are whopping every day…

    Qantas actively re-issuing a new eTicket with amended flight schedule before accepting it?

    I have a DSC flight booked SYD - BNE - CNS on 24 February 2023, so long way out. Yesterday, I got an email that they moved me on a three hours earlier flight BNE - CNS but left the SYD - BNE unchanged which resulted in me leaving SYD about when I left BNE to get to CNS. They asked me to accept...
