Qantas Club members get another six-month extension

Sep 14, 2020, 01:24 PM

I agree this would be an ideal time for such an undertaking, especially considering how crowded the Sydney Intl Business lounge and domestic lounges are during peak hours. The Intl lounge is often a complete zoo. I think they will hold off on any capital investments until profit figures are...
Lufthansa looks to retire all Airbus A380s, Boeing 747s

Sep 11, 2020, 10:50 AM

Wow. Initially when I read the heading I thought the 748s were going too and had me wondering who still flew the 747 (Korean and Air China?) I am glad they are at least keeping the newer jets. What a novelty it will be to hop on a flight to HKG, LHR etc when the time comes!
Qantas offers travel credit incentives over refunds

Sep 09, 2020, 03:28 PM

I am very confident Qantas will be offering double points or double status credits when travel resumes as a sweetener to incentivise booking with QF vs. the myriad of competitors who too will be eager to attract customers once we can (FINALLY) return to international travel. A 20% credit bo...
Finnair's Reindeer Route via Helsinki explained

Dec 10, 2012, 02:42 PM

I have transited via HEL twice and on the inbound flights the wait time at immigration to connect onwards to my final European destination was over 45 minutes each time. There were many distraught passengers in the queue trying to alert airport staff they were about to miss their connection...

Travel to Australia via NZ to bypass government travel restrictions?

Oct 03, 2020, 12:57 PM

I was wondering the same thing, I can't imagine NZ border agents preventing an Aussie from flying onwards to a third country. You will just need to be comfortable remaining o/s for a prolonged period unless the government makes changes and allows returned travellers to home quarantine, depending...

Dec 28, 2019, 01:09 PM

Hello, I am flying on BA out of Heathrow Terminal 5 to Paris in early January and wanted to check out the Qantas lounge in Terminal 3. I believe there is an airside bus connecting the terminals, just wondering if anyone knows if you can access T3 when your flight departs from T5 at Heathrow?

Great idea, thanks. The EK site doesn't seem to list the operating hours of the SYD lounge but google says it's 24 hrs which cannot be given the curfew...
Qantas Sydney Business Lounge Refurbishment

Jun 05, 2019, 12:58 PM

Hello, after a number of years I didn't re-qualify for platinum status (quelle horreur I know..) and was wondering how the Sydney business refit was coming along? The images of their Perth and Brisbane lounges look quite impressive in comparison to the fairly dated state of the Sydney lounge but...
