• It's a bit rich that PE will be "reaccommodated" into Y, even with a fare adjustment. Some people don't want Y, which is how come they book PE. Money back if requested is the only fair process. Not a credit, money back.

  • A word of advice about the TranzAlpine train. There is no prior seat selection, even in the higher grade Scenic Plus class (which by no means is anything like First on say the Glacier Express). Allocation is on the day. Some seats are airline style pairing, others are four at a table. The latter ...

  • Agree with PCHammond, comfortable bed. That includes pillows. Not foam slabs like bricks. Not cheap feathers that rustle in your ear all night. OK, first world issues but that's the quality we should expect in a good business hotel.

  • The caveat about Chromecast etc is of course the wi-fi. No-one wants constant buffering interrupting their entetainment but that will always happen on poor hotel wi-fi. Another reason to pick a hotel with decent data speed. Even then, don't expect HD to work without issues, set for SD viewing.

  • Is this just Finnair or are we about see all the others do it too? Making it retrospective to apply to already bought tickets is a) insulting and b) may be a breach of contract.  Anyway, Finnair has obviously embraced the Ryanair doctine - if you can make the punters pay more then do it and ...

  • Good luck and please do let us know how you go. I suspect Qantas will resist.

    They certainly have interesting city pairs: Corfu-Graz, Bari-Malaga and many more. Do consider the train for shorter journeys, in Europe rail is comfortable fast and convenient.

  • Project Sunrise "manufacturing" delay

    Feb 23, 2024, 08:55 AM

    I understand the "manufacturing" delay on the QF a350-1000 relates to the centre fuel tank. I believe EASA has required this be redesigned and reinforced. There is apparently some doubt about whether that can be successfuly achieved. One issue is extra weight such a modification will cause. Time ...

  • QF15/16 cancellation

    Feb 13, 2024, 12:29 PM

    You definitely should contact Qantas asap to see what is happening. Do you have status? The more of that you have the more your negotiating power. Notice that Fiji Air (Oneworld Connect partner) has a flight to BNE via Nadi departing LAX about 2.5 hours after scheduled QF 16. There's a 2.5 hour ...
