  • Qantas pushes back Project Sunrise Airbus A350 purchase

    Mar 19, 2020, 08:48 PM

    Don't rule out many never flying QF again if the went 777x. It's an old airframe and represents nothing other than a loud cramped cabin. Perfect for cargo and as a replacement for 747. Past its use by-date. 787/350 are the future.

  • Virgin extends all Velocity memberships by one year

    Give it up Virgin and stick to domestic. Shedding money like there's no tomorrow. You'll always be a Pepsi at best, not Coke-a-Cola carrier in Australia; think Qantas has it.

  • Singapore Airlines' new Boeing 777X first, business class

    Feb 04, 2020, 10:58 AM

    Let's just say you wouldn't want to fly a 777 from Sydney to London. Might just be OK for short, maybe medium haul. It's grossly louder than an A380.

  • Review: Qantas first class lounge, Singapore Changi Airport

    Jan 30, 2020, 11:52 AM

    Qantas, despite best efforts, are yet to come up with an exclusive quiet space for First and senior tier pax. Melbourne F lounge is just about all that comes close in the entire suite of Qantas lounges worldwide. LAX is a zoo as is Sydney, LHR Is nice but meh and now SIN. I think that exclusive...

  • Boeing 777X goes big on overhead bins, bespoke design

    Jan 24, 2020, 04:42 PM

    The A380 is the quietest in the sky then A380, A350, 787, A330, 777. The jump in terms of noisiness from the A330 to the 777 is significantly annoying. That should give an anecdotal understanding how loud it is. There are other factors too. Eg on the 787 those fitted with RR engines are louder th...

  • Business class sleeping for a 2 year old?

    Oct 30, 2019, 01:53 PM

    I think the silent majority agree with Joe! Think I do too when I've paid to be in J or F for the peace space and quiet.

  • No complimentary Platinum status for returning Platinum member :(

    No loss. The QF F lounge is more a business lounge. Poor, busy, crowded layout. Its really more a high end business lounge. Its def not at a Sydney Melbourne QF F Lounge standard!

  • Flying with a baby in Qantas First Class

    Oct 08, 2018, 04:36 PM

    What amazes me when I see parents bring crying babies or under 10 year olds into J or F is that the PARENTS don't enjoy their trip!? They are constantly trying to keep baby quiet, or running after the toddler or alternating feeding if both parents are there, reading stories, IFE or game assistanc...

  • Qantas A380 Fleet Utilisation & Routes

    Jul 09, 2018, 12:14 PM

    This is why QF 380's always go out tech and ad nauseam delays. Emirates hardly have the A380 delays QF does and I wonder why? MORE time spent on each ac, not sending them out with issues which are still safe for flight to take place but need attending to. Qantas work their A380's to the bone! The...

  • Qantas flights QF 9/QF10 going cheap?
