The only things Qantas don’t appear to be increasing are service and quality.

Qantas should rent the Emirates biz lounge outside of its usual operating hours. Problem solved. But that would involve Qantas shelling out some of its shareholders’ dollars.

How about a daily release of new reward seats for a variety of destinations for travel from next-day to say 300 days. And make them all available to anyone, regardless of status. And if Qantas really wants to improve belief in the fact that it’s releasing more premium reward seats than ever then...

I’ll continue to take my own meal to eat on board Qantas flights.

On a long haul flight in premium economy it’s all about the seat recline and sleep quality for me. I did my research and found Cathay had one of the best. But I understand seat recline/comfort might not be the top item for others.

I usually fly business class long haul using points but was in a situation last year where I had to return to the UK with no reward seats available. I ended up flying Cathay Pacific premium economy and, whilst it’s certainly not business class, I did have a surprisingly comfortable trip and...

No, but it’s a lot easier and cheaper than updating tired and smelly A330s and improving inflight entertainment and catering.

Sitting bolt upright overnight for 14 hours is a tall ask for anyone. The people I know who are of above average height usually pay a little bit extra and select a seat with extra legroom. Collective reclining puts everyone in the same comfort versus inconvenience situation of having their...

Have you considered Maybe, but how much of that points redemption increase is related to the introduction of Classic Plus 1738232680 And what percentage of that increase was redeemed on partner airlines? Again, without specifics it’s hard to be a believer.

It's a case of 'Could' but choose not to. It's easy to make big statements like 'we're releasing 5 million reward seats' but without proof or specifics it's meaningless.

Perfectly put. I'd like to add that I find it fairly easy snagging premium seats out of Australia using Velocity points, which unfortunately is not the case with Qantas FF. And Velocity don't seem to muck around with the releasing of reward seats (batch releasing seats) like Qantas seems to...

I'm trying to use up the bulk of my Qantas points (not an easy task these days) and I now only focus on Velocity points due to the unbelievably better reward seat availability on international flights and the more reasonable credit card sign up bonus offers. We often hear about the dollar value...

‘Qantas still claims to offer at least five million Classic Reward seats per year’ If only Qantas could prove this.

It should definitely be offered as a private project.

I totally agree.

The expected time to travel on the proposed Melbourne Airport Rail Link from the airport to Southern Cross station (assuming the railway is ever built) is the same as the time it currently takes on the Sky Bus service. You wonder why they’re bothering. And if you add to that the fact that the...

This is Australia we’re talking about, and more specifically Victoria, so don’t expect anything express-like, either in terms of construction time or service.

I thought Classic Plus has only been available for less than a year.

If I make a payment to a company then I am entitled to a receipt for that payment. If a customer pays Qantas Hotels then my understanding is that Qantas Hotels is obliged to issue a receipt. I pay my local supermarket for groceries and they issue a receipt. They don’t tell me to contact the...

I remember reading somewhere that the train, if the tracks are ever laid, will take the same time to get from the airport to Southern Cross station as the Skybus currently does.
