  • Bain wins: US investment giant takes control of Virgin

    Jun 26, 2020, 12:09 PM

    My company was bought by a VC 3 years ago and it's doing fine. They are not all bad, and I think the alternative could have been no virgin at all so I am relieved by this.I think axing the Club is the first thing they should do. The idea was presumably to buy favour with politicians, and that c...

    Why just Qantas? This is happening with all airlines and most other travel providers.

  • Qantas, AA get new lounges at Dallas/Fort Worth

    May 20, 2019, 04:00 PM

    Was there Friday night. Was nice and the Chicken wings were great, but given how people are excited it must have been bad before. No better than the Sydney Qantas lounge other than the upgraded food. Who know's if it will stay that way.

  • Segway's new Puppy 1 suitcase

    So you check in the battery? I'm always told I can't take spare batteries for my laptop on board. Don't see why this would be different.

    I wouldn't worry. Given the battery, it won't be allowed as carry on anyway.

  • When will Qantas cancel international flights for December/January?

    Aug 16, 2020, 10:38 AM

    We had booked ~20k worth of fares to the US for this Christmas at the start of the year. There is zero chance of that happening, but Qantas have not cancelled the flights and we are told if we were do do anything it would be a 'change of mind' cancellation by us. At the very least this is highl...

  • Child's age changing during Trip

    Nov 05, 2019, 09:59 AM

    Hi, I am not sure if this is generic or varies by airline. As we are planning on Flying QF, I thought i'd ask here. We are planning a big trip next Christmas and my daughter will turn 12 during the trip. Given 12 is when you pay adult fares, does this mean we pay adult for the whole trip, chil...

  • Sydney Qantas International Business Class Lounge Vs AMEX Lounge

    Aug 06, 2019, 12:24 PM

    The Amex lounge is really really small. Like your lounge room small. I had to sit on a tiny stool for 1/2 hour till a couch came up. And the food was basic. Qantas is a lot better (although I agree, for food, special).
