Will Melbourne miss out on Qantas Project Sunrise flights?
Jun 19, 2026, 03:23 PMFlying domestically out of MEL with QF - fine! But when it comes to international, forget it. QF’s disincentives are strong: transfer at SYD (no way), and even the aircraft types. Even that little Bali holiday won’t get a look in when it means 6 hours + on a 737.

Here is United’s new A321 Polaris business class suite
Mar 25, 2026, 01:34 PMThe P/E config looks more than reasonable but I have to say, that type of J configuration with its inward facing herringbone layout is not appealing enough. Think Air NZ!

Qantas Club Membership Offer Woes
Oct 16, 2022, 12:36 PMI decided to rejoin Qantas Club using their current new membership offer, having had several years without it. Every single time I tried to complete the transaction it bombed out citing ‘technical difficulties’. The deal concludes tomorrow. No response from QF/Q-Club etc. Anyone else ...

Frequent flyers, what sleeping pills do you use and recommend?
Apr 24, 2019, 02:45 PMAny sedative/hypnotic should not be combined with alcohol, particularly the benzodiazepines and “non” benzo’s including temazepam, zolpidem (Stillnox) and zopiclone (Imovane). Not to mention, some countries are very dodgy for flying through with drugs of dependence.

Did Qantas just invite everybody to join the Chairman's Lounge?
Oct 25, 2018, 01:15 PMYes, got one too. I had to laugh knowing I would not be a person of interest to QF.

Debit card acceptance in hotels
Sep 21, 2018, 03:22 PMIt might seem overkill to some but I’ve resorted to emailing each hotel I’m pre-booked into for specifics about their various security deposit requirements. They’re all different and I want to know what I’ll be up for in advance and prepared accordingly especially as I don...
