• The QF LHR Lounge already feels narrow and cramped.  Adding 40-to 60 (which really means 60) seats seems like a nightmare.  Eligible passengers are already able to access the superior Cathay or Emirates lounges.  This latest proposal seems to make the alternatives even more attract...

  • Qantas A350 economy legroom

    Jun 19, 2026, 09:56 AM

    At least SQ was honest to everyone with its ULH services and didn't provide Economy.  What QF is offering in Economy seems like hell for a 22 hour flight even with a so-called exercise space which only exists because they can't put a seat at a door. Like AJ before her, VH can't resist a...

  • QF claim to be waiting for the new extension to move into but, as you say, we have heard that before.  Last time, we were told they planned to build new lounge atop the extension between T1 and T2 (swing-gates) but nothing came of that.It will be interesting to see exactly what they do when ...

  • SQ love QF's Sydneycentricity.  It means SQ become the defacto Australian airline from MEL, BNE and ADL.

    They need to announce the changes a few more times before they actually do anything.

  • Jetstar carry-on bags

    JQ are fairly strict regarding carry-ons. For them, it is a revenue opportunity.

  • By the wording on the Qantas website, I would say no but it probably depends if your luggage is checked through onto the Jetstar international service when you check in at Qantas domestic. If it is and you have been given your JQ boarding pass, it would be worth going to gate 15 and trying your ...
