Qantas axes A380, first class from Melbourne
Mar 11, 2026, 04:13 PMWhat is the obsession with Sydney? Melbourne is potentially a larger market based on population size alone. Furthermore, transferring between a domestic and international at Sydney is a pain in the behind! Whereas Melbourne, you don’t even leave the building. What is wrong with the people i...

How the Qantas status changes will affect you
Feb 28, 2026, 09:00 PMIt’s a kick up my rear end too. This penalises Platinum FF who get Just Enough sc per year with the sc loyalty bonuses to maintain their status. With the current system, a savvy frequent flyer could plan to earn 1100 SC per year, knowing that for each of their 500 they will earn anot...

Fast-track to Singapore Airlines Gold through to 2027
Nov 12, 2025, 03:11 PMI noticed that BPAY and government payments are not part of the eligible spend. But they say nothing of DEFT or bill payments made through AusPost (not technically BPAY or Gov). Anyone know if using this card to pay via DEFT would count as an eligible payment?

A five-year wait for Australia’s digital arrivals card?

Interline baggage question
Feb 12, 2025, 04:17 PMTechnically speaking, unless all of those flights are on the same booking reference, the airlines do not have to tag them onto their destination. However, I was a check in agent many years ago and I know what the systems are capable of. I have pushed my point in many cases and have had the luxury...

VA fare and SC in downgrade situation
Feb 03, 2025, 08:07 PMHonestly, that was something that should have been negotiated at the time that they offered you the economy seat. But I would contact VA and push your point here. You have paid business class prices for an economy ticket and economy earnings. Not. Good. Enough. They got you at your most vulnerabl...

Overnight Layover in LHR
Feb 03, 2025, 11:53 AMHi @LoveToFlyI have done this many times before. To me, there is little point in going into London for such a short period of time. So, when I arrive into terminal 5, first class on BA, I go through immigration and then straight to the BA arrivals lounge which has a relatively private first class...

Boeing to plead guilty to criminal fraud charge
Jul 09, 2024, 07:11 PMI find it disappointing that although there is reporting on new aircraft purchases, interiors and the retirement of aircraft from airlines fleets; there is no reporting on the aircraft manufacturers or issues with aircraft types themselves.Considering Boeing lied and IS RESPONSIBLE for the deaths...
