  • The once-spurned A380 returns to the skies as travel roars back

    Jun 22, 2022, 03:18 PM

    I love flying on the A380 would be great to see it back on the SYD-DFW route before too long!

  • Finnair debuts new business, premium economy class to Singapore in May

    Jan 12, 2022, 03:00 PM

    I fly with Finnair for their RTW deals and their business class is already pretty good....any improvement is very welcome. The A350 flights have been incredible value and their network is growing. Flying DFW-LHR via Helsinki in March...all being well.

  • Qantas Boeing 737 business class guide: seats, lounges and more [2022]

    Jul 09, 2021, 03:37 PM

    I have flown business on a 737 many times from Perth to Adelaide ( try to get on the bigger planes if going to MEL or SYD). I wouldn't pay for the seat as the difference is nowhere near enough to justify the extra cost (especially as I am platinum ff and would get all of the pre-flight benefits) ...

  • COVID-19: overseas arrival caps halved, home quarantine trial

    Jul 02, 2021, 02:42 PM

    I am going to be interested to see how this works. this doesn't seem a reasonable exit strategy to me...just delaying things further. Elsewhere in the world things are already returning to normal, my friends in the UK, US etc are returning to regular travel and British Airways/Easyjet etc are reg...

  • UK to axe most duty-free sales, close VAT refund scheme

    Sep 18, 2020, 04:02 PM

    I couldn't be bothered to join the queue for the refunds anyway particularly if for a fairly small amount. Guess this also makes things easier for Australian customs as you either pay 20% VAT and cant get it back or pay cost of shipping plus 10% GST if you want it here and is above the threshold.

  • Qantas Dallas Flights

    Jun 24, 2022, 03:13 PM

    Does anybody know if Qantas has plans to re-introduce the A380 on the Sydney to Dallas route soon. I have seen that they will be flying from Melbourne to DFW starting in December with a 787. Is it likely that this means the Sydney route will also stay as a 787. Would like to be able to upgrade to...

  • Malaysian Airlines Pathetic Customer Service

    May 13, 2022, 08:41 PM

    I wanted to share my recent experiences with Malaysian Airlines customer service. I was trying to rebook flights for a number of people using a credit from a previous booking. I am a QFF Platinum and have dealt with airlines for many years.I reckon in total it took me about 6 hours trying to sort...

  • Did I see something about QF and Star Alliance Status matching?

    Oct 02, 2019, 03:56 PM

    I am a Qantas Platinum FF and will be flying with Lufthansa for 4 flights as part of a Business Class RTW deal (US-Europe-UK-Eur-Sin). Is it worth trying to get status matching from a Star Alliance airline?Thanks for any advice

  • Qantas 'customer satisfaction' questionnaires

    Apr 17, 2019, 06:04 PM

    I get these on a fairly regular basis (am Platinum FF) probably about one for every 5 flights (domestic and international) I do. I have asked to be contacted a couple of times in the past when I felt I had a reasonable gripe but heard nil. Still think it is worth supplying the feedback to them.So...

  • Missing status credits on QF

    Apr 17, 2019, 05:52 PM

    I had the same issue a few months ago. Got credited for HEL-LHR and the return but after a few weeks chased the LGA-HEL and HEL-HKG. Was a bit of a kerfuffle and had to reapply when the claim came back and was denied...no record of travel so I sent in a pic of my Boarding passes was then credited...
