A five-year wait for Australia’s digital arrivals card?
Oct 31, 2025, 03:42 PMOther countries have designed a safe and user friendly version. Typically, we reinvent the wheel when it’s simply not necessary to do so. Pick one of the other proven digital systems and tweak it as needed. It’s mental that it’s ok for our government agencies to remain so ineffi...

Ranked & rated: Qantas’ best and worst business class seats
Dec 01, 2023, 08:39 PMThe A330-200s are horrendous when flying mid-haul overseas. Their reliability is poor with endless engineering requirements causing significant and frequent delays. And with just one toilet in some configurations to service 28 Business customers, it’s hardly a premium cabin. On a rece...

Qantas to replace A330s with Airbus A350s, Boeing 787s
Aug 24, 2023, 06:39 PMI'm confused... this article says replacement is a 1-1 swap with the old A330s (there are 28 of them) yet this order is for only 24 new aircraft. Did I miss something?

10 years on, has the Qantas-Emirates partnership delivered?
Feb 03, 2023, 02:02 PMDefinitely agree with your comment about QF F&B. Having been privileged to fly EK and QF in F and J, QF lags so far behind imo. EK dining is something to look forward to. Always impeccably presented and super tasty, and with a huge choice especially in F. EK’s 380 showers and...

Apr 16, 2021, 04:08 PMGreat for all the people who haven't earned their entry - does nothing for those who have, like me. I'm not supportive of using this exclusive lounge for almost anyone whose flying.

Qantas launches Points Club, rewarding spending rather than flying
Mar 20, 2020, 01:02 PMOriginally Posted by dm12 Disagree. Perfect time to launch a program at keeping spending going. They recognise its not all about themselves (unlike some FF'ers) and doing what they can to keep the economy ticking along. It's a fair point about promoting spending dm12, but when there's significan...

Qantas launches Points Club, rewarding spending rather than flying
Mar 18, 2020, 06:30 PMAt an unprecedented time due to Covid-19, Qantas chooses to launch a brand new loyalty program aimed at big spending??? Did I read that right today?
