• Any news of an A380 with longevity is great news. Recently I’ve seen a few youtube airline reviewers give underwhelming report of QR inflight experience in F class, most recent was on DOH-SYD which took me by surprise. The reviews are very balanced & objective, seems like QR is cutting ...

  • I don't understand why anyone on this site would post an anti-western Sydney airport comment or the inference that Mascot is the only logical option for everyone in Sydney. Major global airports around the world e.g. Tokyo Narita, London Heathrow, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing etc are all consider...

  • SkyNest will prove to be unviable and be replaced by either Premium Y or Economy soon there after. They won't get the yield from ticket sales, passengers will resent the 4 hour max limit leading to onboard shenanigans and the whole thing will be just too hard for everyone. SkyCouch is a better co...

  • AU and NZ have a fairly comprehensive open air agreement that allows each other's carriers to conduct domestic and international flights. Back in the 1990s/2000s Air NZ had a great daily B747-400 flight AKL-SYD-LAX (which they could sell AKL-SYD and SYD-LAX) but over time their focus was on direc...

  • Qantas have tried the “earn points discount dining” concept a few times and both have ended closing shop. I don’t think earning FF points is a driver for people choosing where they dine and making the booking is such a transaction. It’s so different to the online shopping ...

I could have held onto QFF by using JetStar Asia for most of my intra-Asia (easy 1-3hr flights) and then plan for my min x4 QF flights...

  • I love to disconnect and have no emails or connectivity, but I equally love jumping online inflight and watching my own entertainment like NetFlix, iTunes movies etc. My recent flights Sydney-Perth on Qantas with free WIFI was awesome on my iPad binging shows (as was most of the flight given the ...

  • Oh for goodness sake get real, the QFF program is for members to enjoy and extending points to your close family and friends is acceptable, on-selling your points in a commercial capacity to all and sundry is not in the spirit of the program and I’d be surprised if legitimate status members...

  • You must have flights on same ticket. Big problem with people buying separate tickets online and then bags not being through checked and when there is a disrupt no responsibility taken by airline to deal with your next flight.

    If you’re weighing up the fee for C card, then that’s an indication that maybe Platinum Charge is the better way to go. C card is more about having an RM (relationship manager) who acts almost like your personal EA and is available to “manage” your travel and lifestyle sch...
