• For many years as a very frequent domestic traveller with Qantas I have been able to simply ask at the lounge reception if it would be possible to get moved to an earlier flight when I get back to the airport early. More often than not the change has been possible at no cost even when travelling ...

  • I have flown from here a few times, BA and ITA. It is interesting that they actually say not to arrive too early. I get that, it’s a small airport with limited facilities. My experience every time there is that it is really busy and having checked in luggage, long and slow queues and also v...

  • Sorry. Sunrise not for me. As I come from Melbourne, why would I do the horrific Sydney transfer at the start or finish of a journey and pay 20% extra for the experience vs a welcome break part way in Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, KL or even Bangkok?Good luck QF!

  • I honestly don’t know why you would go to the Qantas lounge as a First/Platinum traveller. When I was Platinum I would automatically go to the Cathay First Class lounge, no question. Now that I am a lowly LTG I tend to make the Cathay Business Class lounge my default. 

  • I agree with Mightyreds. I use Elizabeth Line for family trips and always seem to be packed when I take this service, travelling with luggage is not easy. Maybe the extra services will make a difference but it is London so always going to be busy. For business trips, Paddington suits me and I wou...

  • 95 minutes sounds fine to me. I have connected on plenty of flights through Hong Kong with closer to an hour between. Starts getting a bit hectic when the incoming is late but Cathay does a good job of getting you to the next flight and have never missed one (luggage is a different story though)....

  • Moving to revenue based FF program?

    Not a surprise to see Qantas getting this out to gauge reaction from their FFs to Virgin’s revenue based scheme changes. Same happened when Virgin announced that they were looking to allow small dogs on flights and I received a survey on that exact subject within days from Qantas.I am sure ...

    Air New Zealand in Melbourne is hands down better than SQ.

    I agree Serg. This stuff is wrong and should be called out. Seems a common Melbourne departure issue. I have had a few examples that don’t make any sense on a number of different airlines. The ignorant will probably just book the higher fare. Others investing this heavily will look a bit de...

    Was a while ago, Arrived into T3, luggage was checked all the way through to my European destination. Caught an airside bus to T5. Security into T5 and then to the BA lounge. Yes was busy due to the time of day.I am sure I needed to have my T5 boarding pass to get on the bus. Based on this, I do...
