  • Could Qantas move to spend-based status?

    Dec 09, 2024, 02:55 PM

    Isn't this already the case with QANTAS? i.e. you gain more status credits (double status sales excluded) based on the class of your fare? With the most expensive (Flexible Business - C,J) gaining the most status credits, and Economy Red-e Deals (E, G, L, M, N, O, Q, S, V) being at the bottom of ...

  • Qantas Boeing 787-10: delivery, seatmap, business class

    And STD-MEL or MEL-BRI do? Which is where the bulk of the 330's are being used.

    This would be great if they actually used 330's on the East-West route! As of today, of the 8 x SYD-PER flights a day only 2 x of them are 330's - the rest are 737's. It's an absolute joke!

  • What’s next for Qantas in the post-Alan Joyce era?

    Sep 05, 2023, 01:01 PM

    Given that business (class) travellers make up roughly 12-15% of airline passengers, but account for as much as 75% of profits. It's long overdue that Qantas start returning some of these profits back to the premium passengers (and not shareholders) that are helping prop up their bottom line.Whil...

  • United Airlines to offer $250 coronavirus tests on flights to Hawaii

    Sep 28, 2020, 10:34 AM

    Typo in the title 'to offers'.Also, i'm curious about this line "Without a negative test, visitors to Hawaii must still quarantine upon arrival. ". I'm presuming they're not going to have aircraft with negative test result passengers, mixed with those that haven't been tested?

  • Platinum Seat Blocking

    Apr 23, 2024, 12:48 PM

    Hey Guys,I'm aware the if you're a QFF Platinum (or above) QANTAS will regularly (try to) block the seat next to you.Over selling aside, I'm curious to better understand, if anyone knows under what circumstances this block might be removed.
