  • A former Qantas Boeing 767 is now Israel's Air Force One

    Oct 10, 2020, 06:27 PM

    The 787 battery fires was still fresh in memory back in 2014 so it would be a very brave decision to chose the air frame for ferrying the Head of state.An Airbus would be out of question if the Israeli Prime Minister keen for a warm reception in Washington.Beside the tried and true 767, there was...

  • Emirates vs Qatar in Airbus A380 superjumbo stoush

    Jul 18, 2020, 04:43 PM

    I wonder if the new A380 now with PE seats will have their F suites upgrade also as in the 777?

  • How Qantas will hibernate its A380s for the next three years

    Jul 08, 2020, 04:45 PM

    Was trying out bookings for latter this year and early 2021. The QF A380 still show up on many schedules.I wonder will the flights be cancelled or Joyce will try and slip in a substitute while no one watching.

    Same experience here, the aircraft often spotless when flying out from Oz home base. Not much so on the return leg, or after transit stop like LAX-JFK. Perhaps Qantas has less control on oversea cleaning contractors .

  • What will chef Neil Perry's retirement mean for Qantas?

    Jul 08, 2020, 04:25 PM

    Time for a change. QF in J many times and often find the meals served quite ordinary. Subpar to the offering on ME and Asian airlines. Interestingly, few times I flew with Jetstar business and found the meals served were at least on equal footings with QF. Didn't have a chance to fly with QF in...

  • Qantas Premium Boarding - How you going?

    Dec 13, 2019, 09:13 PM

    Done SYD - MEL, MEL - CBR then CBR - SYD last week. The Premium line was always at least twice or three times as long as the economy line and many people were clearly not supposed to be on the line but gate agents let them through nevertheless. I waited until both lines cleared and was one of ...

  • Emirates First Class seems to be cost cutting

    Many thanks for sharing your experience with us.

EY level.Perhaps some bright person in EK determined ...

  • Gaining QF First Class Lounge access for spouse

    May 24, 2019, 05:43 PM

    That should not be any issues at all. There is no need to advice Qantas in advance. They could be quite generous though. When our group of 5 adults travelled last time on the same flights with Prenium Ecconomy, only 2 of us has Platinum and 3 on Bronze, we were all allowed in the F lounges in ...
