Qatar Airways to restart Canberra flights
Aug 04, 2025, 12:17 PMBad news for Adelaide flyers. With the current DOH-MEL-ADL route disappearing, it leaves ADL with only QR914/915 on a daily schedule.

Sydney airport pickup zones are horrible!
Jul 29, 2017, 03:25 PMThe only passable pickup zones (tiny ones) at T1 are the ground level Disabled Zones, which are unknown to 99.99% of passengers, and relatively quiet. Even they are policed by a traffic dalek who is itching to find a reason to move you on :(

Jul 17, 2015, 08:09 PMBronze is as good as the tin can the beans came in. QF PE is good, but not as good as when it was first offered.Upgrades depend on load, but Bronze are bottom of the barrel if allocations are tight, as they are for most flights these days.
