Review: Qantas first class Oneworld Emerald lounge, Melbourne Airport
Feb 08, 2018, 01:54 PMThe aircon in those private rooms (and same as in SYD) has been an ongoing issue for years now. I really wish they'd fix it (I guess it does act as a deterrent though - I'd be more inclined to request a room if they were not a sauna).Last time I was in one I lasted less than 5 minutes before movi...

What do you want in a business class amenity kit?
Sep 07, 2017, 09:33 AMMy personal inflight amenity kit contains: a dental kit, lip balm, moisturising face wash, anti-perspirant, and cough drops (sometimes with the dry air on long haul I develop a mild cough).I also travel with Quick-Eze in case the airline food causes indigestion, and paracetamol+ibuprofen. There's...

About that queue for the business class loo...
Jul 22, 2016, 11:42 AMThat is my only gripe about the A330-200 with the 1:28 ratio. On a flight from Jakarta to Sydney last month I slept in my clothes (despite having PJs) because I dozed off before I could even get to use the bathroom to change.

I'm not sure if...

I'm probably a bit unusual in th...

Apr 11, 2018, 03:17 PMDon't forget to check the fine print. You have to have two or more Velocity members in the booking for it to count. Solo travellers cannot travel twice and get Gold.

AMEX Centurion Lounge vs AA Admirals Club in Dallas (before QF8 to Sydney)
Mar 02, 2018, 03:02 PMThe Centurion lounge at DFW is lovely - far superior to the Admirals Club or the contract lounge that Qantas use before QF8.

Is Qantas currently operating any 737-800's with seat-back IFE domesticly?
Jul 26, 2011, 10:39 AMThey get around, although the Australian registered 738s seem to do Perth-Karratha most frequently so it'll be those that work in mining that get the IFE.For example, here's VH-VZL so far this month:http://go.shaun.net/vxze8Data is from the Qantas Jet Tracker at http://theqantassource.com/qi...

Which lounges do China Southern use at BNE and SYD?
May 17, 2011, 01:27 PMI seem to recall reading that China Southern use the Air New Zealand lounge in SYD. This may be the same situation in BNE.
