    Article: Qantas Blocking Exit Row Seats on Long-Haul Flights

    Covid is airborne. If Covid is in the cabin air then this is a talisman, not a protection.

    Australian women on Qatar flight internally examined

    If I've remembered correctly, when travelling on Eurostar, you "enter" the other destination country past passport control. But that is Eurostar.

    Australian women on Qatar flight internally examined

    It is a crime in Qatar to have sex outside marriage, hence unwed mothers are criminals. My guess is that Qatar wouldn't dream of having a left baby place. The baby was alive, they were out to catch and punish the mother. But not the father. Never the father. 1604021322 Thanks. Makes sense. I...

    Australian women on Qatar flight internally examined

    Indeed regret is not an apology. We regret that you were upset.

    The point is to make the point. Walking past will change nothing.

    Australian women on Qatar flight internally examined

    What is the status of people airside? Is there some international law with jurisdiction once past border control?

    Australian women on Qatar flight internally examined

    I'm with you. A month later an invitation to dine with the Ambassador is declined.

    Australian women on Qatar flight internally examined

    Q. Why did it take so long for the invitation to be declined? A. It took that long for the proverbial to hit the public fan. I guess it is better late than never but the delay is galling and speaks volumes about our government's attitudes towards women.

    Australian women on Qatar flight internally examined

    Appalling. Nauseating. It's news to me that Minister Payne talked directly to her counterpart. That is not what I heard on RN yesterday. I'm deeply disappointed but not surprised by our government first concealing the incident, then pretending to hold Qatar to account with public bluster. Once...

    'They haven't listened': Medical professionals skipped quarantine and flew interstate

    Deadset, they should be stripped of all credentials after serving in the front line of this catastrophe. https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/they-haven-t-listened-medical-professionals-skipped-quarantine-and-flew-interstate-20200328-p54esp.html I'm a doctor and thought the same. But the...

    Angry pax declines to Raise Reclined Seat During Service...

    Occasional QF are slack about this, but if you point (literally point) it out to them they will intervene.

    Denied boarding to Jakarta due to 'damaged' passport

    That's a bit harsh, especially as the damage was due to frequent international travel.

    Cabin Temperatures?

    I was close to vomiting because of the heat on the QF 9 and 10 Dreamliner to and from London, even with a window seat and the fan on. I thought of stripping to my underwear. On the way back I went to the galley asked if the temp could be turned down. Yeah sure.

    Pet airport lounge hates

    Has Qantas banned shorts in the lounge? Last Sunday 2 young women with the shortest of short shorts in the lounge. The shorts were so short they were almost thongs.

    Beware QF codeshares on LATAM to Santiago

    Seriously, if you sell the ticket, or you sell the internet service, you have a contract with your customer. If your supplier stuffs up that's your problem, not your customer's problem. Where is the ACCC?

    For QF and VA - a LATAM solution to boarding that WORKS!!

    I was once made to do the walk of shame for using the priority boarding lane with gold status - my objection fell on deaf ears. I am the only person I have witnessed being made to leave the priority boarding lane. But I have seen many proud bronze and silver FF (not flying business) use the...

    Jetstar ranks lowest of more than 70 airlines in major survey by consumer groups

    Seriously? I haven't flown JQ for a year, but for 3 years I flew JQ 4-6 times a month. Most of the time they were cheap and ok. I don't think Jetstar staff have ever dragged passengers off a flight. I've never been bumped from a Jetstar flight. And they give you a voucher if you have a valid...

    Are other airlines also as bad as Qantas?

    The ACCC has taken action against Hertz Sydney Airport for predatory practices re "damage" to cars, and against Coles for the "freshly baked on the premises" scam. I doubt it was due to proactive surveillance by ACCC - more likely action was taken after umpteen complaints from consumers. I've...

    Acronyms on JQ Boarding Passes

    V05A no longer appears on BP issued at gate - not a problem if the crew carry the manifest when serving. Quite often they know you have a voucher and ask you what you would like. But if the crew haven't bothered with the manifest beware - you are likely to be treated like a cheat and a liar and...
