Qantas boosts Melbourne-Singapore flights

Aug 16, 2022, 08:08 PM

This is basically what existed before covid, except that QF35 was an A380 and QF37 was an A330, so there is far less capacity on this route even though demand has returned to pre covid levels. Try to book a business class flight to Singapore and check the price, Qantas are doing this on man...

I recently flew back from Singapore on QF38 which ended up being delayed by 3 ½ hours due to some maintenance issue on the old A330 (Thanks Alan Joyce!). It does seem now like Qantas staff are almost accepting of delays. The apology from the pilot was half hearted and there was almost no...

I have flown with Qantas for more than 20 years, had many trips in First, Business, Premium Economy and Economy. Whilst you sometimes get an attendant with some attitude, generally i have had good experiences. Most recently its normally been in Business Class and i find the service friendly and...
What's it like to fly with Etihad in 2018?

Nov 10, 2018, 01:33 PM

Why all the fuss about 'packing cubes'?

Qantas to announce Paris-Perth Boeing 787 flights this month?

Mar 14, 2018, 06:41 PM

Much better to do Perth - Frankfurt as i am sure that a lot of Emirates code share flyers are destined here. Could also resurrect this via Singapore with a smaller aircraft.
