How important is priority boarding on domestic, international flights?
Jun 28, 2019, 04:24 PMI recently took a BA trip from London to Dublin and return. I was surprised at how efficient the boarding was with a zone marked on the boarding pass. I seem to recall being as we were in Business we were zone 1 and boarded first. I am guessing that zone 2 was the rear most seats in the aircraft ...

Qantas boosts Cairns, Townsville, Sunshine Coast, PNG flights
Dec 13, 2018, 12:16 PMThe resumption of QF on POM-CNS is most welcome! PX have been steadily increasing fares on this route since QF left in 2016. Even although they said they wouldn't! A friend recently booked POM-CNS-POM in economy for around $A1200 albeit over the Christmas/New year period.That's $A50 less than my ...

Qantas, Virgin Australia domestic Airbus A330 business class compared
Nov 29, 2018, 05:10 PMThat's the one I take (QF652) and QF767 on the return which still seem to be consistently A330. Agree on the BNE lounge as well although I have an international after that so I usually bus over there for breakfast and freshen up.

Qantas, Virgin Australia domestic Airbus A330 business class compared
Nov 29, 2018, 04:56 PMVery good review! I agree with several of the comments that VA A330 are just slightly ahead. I think that the food and service are better than QF. I actually like the angled window seats as well and overall I find the VA seats better.But......I regularly fly PER-BNE and several years ago the flig...

Sep 20, 2018, 09:25 AMI sincerely hope someone in senior management in Qantas reads this as the current boarding arrangements are a total farce.

Jun 11, 2022, 08:03 PMOriginally Posted by adamwebber I've never been more grateful for my life than the day I met [vladimir kolarov] from thehackerspro.I was on a trip to Australia with my family when someone stole $4.4 million in cryptocurrency from me. I'd been using [coinbase] for years, but I just thought it was ...

Status support Reversal
Apr 07, 2021, 12:48 PMYes, 500 in and then reversed out a few days later. Called Qantas and they blamed it on an IT error. Only eligible points for rollover were from flying or some on ground earnings. Looks like I am going to get back 22 status credits from a BP promotion last year.I said that I returned to Australia...

Cathay Pacific premium economy: Boeing 777 vs Airbus 350?
Jul 15, 2019, 12:57 PMRecently flew LHR-HKG on CX B777 and HKG-PER on a CX A350. Both flights in PE. No complaints with either sector but I feel that the A350 had more space, more comfort and generally a better all round experience.Interestingly, I would rate the soft product on these two flights as equal to, if not b...

Cairns Reef Lounge Closure
Jul 12, 2019, 01:40 PMThat is not good news! Although I only used it occasionally it was one of the few places that I used my Priority Pass.Whilst not the best lounge out there the staff were friendly and it was always a good place to get a coffee and a toast and Vegemite at 5am when cathcing the first flight up to Po...

Velocity platinum price
Jul 05, 2019, 04:15 PMI have always thought that buying any sort of lounge access or status is a total waste of hard earned money! Basically if you haven't earned it then you are not flying enough to use it.And as an ex-long term VA Plat you don't really get that much out of it anyway. I found that out when I checked ...
