Review: Jetstar’s new 787 business class
Jun 04, 2026, 08:39 AMI can't understand why the QF group insist on misleading branding. It's clearly what is understood as a Premium Economy product not Business Class . Why not sell it accurately (including points reductions at PE level - perhaps that's what they are trying to protect)?Scoot had a similar issue with...

Here is Jetstar’s A321XLR business class
Oct 22, 2025, 04:17 PMCertainly not a 'Business Class' product. Why not be honest and sell it as what it is - Premium Economy? I can only guess that QF wants to keep the redemption price at the higher points level by misleading.Scoot changed their front end description from Scoot Biz to Scoot Plus, which I...

Etihad brings new A350, 787 business class to Sydney, Melbourne
Jul 25, 2025, 07:18 PMI didn't see the point of sliding doors until two recent night flights on BA where they proved their worth in a) reducing the disturbance of passers-by and b) blocking the extremely bright and flickering light of what are nowadays huge TV screens in surrounding seats.

The big change coming to LAX baggage rules
Apr 09, 2025, 04:03 PMGreat but Zoom meetings only for me instead of physical U.S.A. visits and certainly no vacations there whilst the crazies are running the show.

More airlines ban power banks being used in-flight
Mar 27, 2025, 03:06 PMThe Cathay ban reported above refers to "being used of charged in flight", yet the two recent onboard fires have been with power banks simply stowed in hand baggage in overhead lockers (also now prohibited) so clearly there's a wider danger even when not in use or on charge. No doubt airlines are...

QF First Class Lounge at LAX-To tip or not tip? Dilemma
May 24, 2024, 04:12 PMMy concern is that this is now spreading here in Australia. At several restaurants I frequent in Sydney the old credit card machine screen had the basic price displayed ready to swipe with a tab "add tip", i.e. you had to opt-in. Now the waiter presents a page showing 10% 20% tip. OK, there's als...

Are Qantas Intentionally blocking reward seats?

Abu Dhabi Midfield Terminal
Mar 14, 2022, 04:52 PMI don't think there is an opening date yet (bear in mind it was reported to be 97% complete in 2019). We came through AUH on Etihad earlier in the year at the covid peak and was an awful experience. Inbound late, bus for business class pax dropped us at extreme end of terminal 1 and then had to m...

Flying over Russia?
Feb 27, 2022, 02:53 PMI imagine most QF LHR passengers have no idea they will be spending so many hours over Russia - the benefit of flat earth maps!
