Qatar eager to boost flights to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane
Mar 18, 2024, 11:43 AMGiven the Federal Government's refusal was based on very hazy factors that the minister refused or was unable to disclose, it would be hard to see how Qatar could be denied again. There was a strong suspicion that the initial rejection was at the urging of an AJ led Qantas. I dou...

Review: Emirates’ free business class inflight WiFi

October 2023 Qantas International
Oct 05, 2023, 11:18 AMQF has a crew base in London with a payscale significantly less than legacy Australian based crew. QF9/10 between PER and LHR and QF1/2 between SIN and LHR will basically always be crewed by this staff. When I flew QF10, I got talking to the flight attendant who had joined QF from a UK charter ...

Oct 02, 2023, 03:47 PMGiven he posted it on Facebook etc, I would guess he didn't pay for it at all.....lucky him!! Emirates would have given tickets to him gratis provided he made lots of positive comments about them on his socials.

Qantas A220 - seatback screens and Wifi
Oct 01, 2023, 12:22 PMWiFi is definitely possible but it will be BYOD. It is very unlikely they will go for IFE screens. They add weight and cabin crew hate having to deal with faulty units and the associated angst.
