Tuck into this winter menu at Qantas’ first class lounges
Jun 08, 2024, 12:35 AMOn the cocktail front, Qantas is giving its high-value customers cocktails it wants, not what the customer wants.

Review: Qantas Finnair A330 business class, Sydney-Singapore
Nov 03, 2023, 03:35 PMI flew this Finnair business class Tokyo-Helsinki in August and quite enjoyed it. Once you get your head around how it works, it's really spacious around your head and shoulders and I didn't have any trouble getting comfortable. Will happily fly it with QF in the new year.

Jakarta transit with Indonesian visa-waiver for Australians
Mar 21, 2019, 11:58 AMWe're transiting Jakarta for 24 hours in August and September on the way to/from Europe and staying at a near-airport hotel.
