  • Sampling the menu at the Qantas Singapore first class lounge

    Dec 04, 2019, 12:27 PM

    Had a good 6 hours to kill in this new lounge on sunday as QF36 was cancelled and i was moved to QF38. Started with the squid and the tea smoked duck which were both excellent. I thought the squid was abit crispier than syd/mel which was nice. Then had the barramundi which was also excellent. The...

  • Melbourne lounge tips for Qantas domestic flyers

    Apr 07, 2019, 05:48 AM

    I think it’s a great lounge. Not sure what people’s expectations are regarding both the business and Qantas club lounge. Spend some time in a few admirals clubs or China “vip” lounges and you realize how good these are for domestic.

  • Qantas arrivals lounge access in Australia

    Mar 29, 2019, 09:56 AM

    The biggest issue with me taking advantage of this is what to do with my checked baggage. Last time I put it in my car at Melbourne and went back in for a shower, but that was only useful as my business day was near the airport. Would be great if Qantas had some sort of storage in Melbourne for t...

  • Would you drink aircraft tank water?

    Oct 28, 2019, 09:13 AM

    I would and i do. The crew on board drink it too, only a few days ago i was having my water bottle filled from the ''tank'''and the FA filled hers at the same time. Put some mint in it too spare from the cocktail they were serving was quite nice. Unless you get a sealed bottle given to you i wou...

  • Best Qantas A380 Economy Seat - Row 48 or 32?

    Jul 05, 2019, 08:13 AM

    I do row 32 as I like the side bin to put all me stuff. I also agree with some of the cons above though.

  • Qantas rants

    Jun 25, 2019, 11:58 AM

    I do find some of the anti Qantas rants, and rants about other airlines rather amusing, especially when it comes to people complaining about first or business. I don’t view it as a “first world problem” or think that people cannot have a bad experience, but it seems when s...

    The Swisshotel was quite good, has a tram and train right out the front. Reasonably priced.

    Originally Posted by David Some good recommendations here, although I'd agree with you, the Swissotel is hard to best - a great hotel in a superb location.
