  • What Qantas and Virgin can learn from Air Canada Aeroplan

    Aug 15, 2020, 06:56 PM

    I think the main point to remember is Qantas has been a successful carrier with a successful frequent flyer program with many years behind it and a take up of half Australia's population. Air Canada has not been successful and neither has its AeroPlan program. And the Velocity Program, I don...

  • Qantas Boeing 747: looking back on a half-century of flying

    Apr 29, 2020, 07:47 PM

    Qantas, what a beaut airline. And the Qantas 747, an aircraft so linked to the success of Qantas. I have been on many of them. I was so happy the first 747-400 went to HARS. And my partner and I have been to see it. Did the most comprehensive tour. Best $400 I spent. I so hope Qantas put on a fin...

  • End of the line for the Qantas Boeing 747?

    Mar 30, 2020, 01:34 PM

    And I will do my very best to be on that flight! I have been hoping for a farewell tour. I was on the Singapore Airlines B747 retirement flight SIN-HKG-SIN and it was one of the best moments of my life!

  • Qantas adds Airbus A321XLR to its fleet

    Jun 19, 2019, 01:27 PM

    As it has been widely rumoured previously, it’s also certain these new jets will join the Qantas fleet. I personally was hoping for the Boeing MAX, but this isn’t bad either.

  • Singapore Airlines upgrades Perth flights

    Apr 28, 2019, 08:50 AM

    "with business class guests offered 30MB of complimentary access on each flight." Qantas offering free wifi domestically and Air New Zealand offering free wifi internationally, Singapore Airlines will have to come up in this regard. Internet can no longer be another source of revenue but a value ...

    I had flights with Air New Zealand... no refunds at all.

  • Telstra text re: pay-as-you-go-rates dropped

    Jan 27, 2020, 06:23 PM

    I'm with markpk on this, I left Telstra years ago because they just cannot match Vodafone's pay $5.00 and use your plan overseas as you would in Australia. I remember calling Telstra actually to see if they would match it and they wouldn't. Telstra didn't deserve my business. I used to buy a SIM ...

  • Checking whether I'm going to receive Double Status Credits...

    How about calling the Qantas Frequent Flyer team? You'll get an answer for sure.

  • Impossible to contact Qantas

    Jul 26, 2019, 09:39 PM

    Only about two months ago I read articles that Qantas has not committed to extending the Hobart Call Centre beyond 2021 if I recall correctly. Very sad. I agree with many others, the SMS/chat is woeful. Dealing with someone at the Hobart call centre has always been a delight. While I love flying ...
