RwandAir’s Oneworld membership could open up African travel

Oct 05, 2022, 10:48 PM

This would be a great addition for Oneworld to expand in southern and eastern Africa, and quite likely to happen given QR's heavy investment in the airline.It looks like South America is the final piece of the puzzle. LATAM is off the table with its new Delta JV. Perhaps, GOL (given its an ...

Rwandair could have a lot of potential if QR were to invest and build it up. It has quite an extensive network of African destinations that are not already covered by RAM, while also flying long-haul to London, Brussels and Dubai. QR also connects KGL with Doha and the greater QR network.

There are reports that ITA has signaled its intention to join Skyteam, pending it establishing a new loyalty program (which it will name Volare).

This is exciting. Both Oman Air and Starlux would make great OneWorld members. I'm not sold on ITA - just not convinced they can provide a quality product like Finnair. While Philippine Airlines has a lot of long-haul flights to the US, I'm not sure about the product quality. Given its current ba...

Just have ABC on one side and Sky News on the other side of the lounge or bar. Everyone can choose their preference, and everyone can enjoy their TV in peace. It's supposed to be a relaxing lounge after all.No need for safe spaces and cancel culture. A Qantas lounge is for all different customers...
Likelihood of Double Status Credits offers

I would suspect a promotional DSC campaign may be likely in the later half of the year to get people booking more flights. It would coincide with Qantas restarting international flights and also most of the vaccine rollout having been completed.While Qantas would normally hold a DSC promotion in ...

I would have asked the flight attendant to get him to turn it down. I'm sure you were not the only frustrated person. Besides, you need to be able to hear instructions and announcements.Unfortunately, I have to concur with the other comments about inconsiderate mindless bogans.
Qantas Credit Voucher or Wait for cancellation refund?

Mar 19, 2020, 01:00 PM

I had to cancel a domestic roundtrip for April on 28 February 2020. I requested a refund to my credit card but I am still waiting on it. While refunds normally take 7 days, I have heard Qantas may be taking around 6 weeks at the moment. I cannot even contact Qantas right now due to the chaos. I w...
