Check out Qantas’ new menu for domestic, international flights

Mar 22, 2023, 11:57 AM

I'm not a corporate frequent flyer by any means and all my travel is out of my own pocket. So an airline's culinary offerings are among the first things I rate against my fare as paid. QF's descent to the culinary bottom is reason enough to look elsewhere.

What a coincidence. I flew SYD-BKK on Thai Airways last week and all I did afterwards was rave to anyone who'd listen about the TWO FULL HOT MEALS served in TG Economy on an 8.5hr flight. Because I could not help contrasting it with QF's pathetic panini (second meal) service on comparable flights...
Singapore Airlines business class passengers may finally get pyjamas

Nov 05, 2019, 12:51 PM

For J and F classes, airlines should reintroduce travel satchels like the retro carry-on bags when our parents and grandparents travelled. Have them filled with amenity kits and pyjamas. They can't be *that* expensive for airlines to source; they'd be an exponentially cheap marketing investment. ...
Singapore Airlines goes big on Burgundy and boutique Grand Cru wines

As a non-drinker booked on several midyear SQ Business class flights, I do wish mention could be made of any whizzbang non-alcoholic offerings by the major airlines. Not everyone flying J is tempted by fancy booze.

My newbie fail: Signing up to CommBank Diamond Awards for FF points. Where to...

As my title says, I made the rookie mistake nearly a year ago of signing up to Commbank's Diamond Awards Visa with the sole intention of racking up flyer points. I did so without any forethought or preparatory research and only now have come to the realisation that I could've been earning double ...

Any non-alcoholic drink options in SQ Business Class that aren't boring ?

Jun 20, 2019, 11:17 PM

I'll be flying Business Class on SQ next month for the first time. In fact my first time in Biz Class ever. I don't drink alcohol. Can anyone offer any advice about making the most of the non-alcoholic drink options onboard? Can I request mocktails be made for me? Can I request any non-alcoholic ...
Is Sydney to London - via Beijing - a good option?

Apr 15, 2019, 11:17 AM

I just saw a BBC News piece about the soon to be completed second airport in Beijing Daxing.It got me googling flight times for Sydney to London via Beijing and it seems Beijing is conveniently at the halfway point in terms of flying time at around 11 or so hours each for SYD-PEK and PEK-LHR. Tha...
