  • Qantas Airbus A380s return to the skies

    I certainly use a mobile but I try to avoid global roaming charges - will our vaccine passports be off-line?

    We're all getting excited but I never see any discussion of when or whether travel insurance will become available. Without that, most of us won't be going anywhere.

  • Embraer 190 Flight Experience & Seat Map [2022]

    Aug 18, 2021, 03:39 PM

    Haven't tried the Alliance version, but a few years ago flew on a BA Embraer from the (wonderfully convenient) London City Airport to Madrid Barajas. Really comfortable experience in economy.

  • Review: Review: Qantas Club Regional Lounge, Broome Airport

    Jul 29, 2020, 03:26 PM

    A few years since I've been to Broome, but this is definitely an improvement on the old VIP lounge they used - not to mention having to be on good behaviour because I ran into my (Adelaide) dentist there.

  • London City Airport is finally getting lounges

    Only once travelled from LCY, but it was wonderful to stay overnight at a Docklands hotel and travel for 5-10 minutes on the Docklands Railway to get there.

    I've done OK (Gold FF) on QF1 and 2, which are pretty full, but I buy Premium Economy - the full jump from economy (which somehow is always discount economy) is a bridge too far, and in any case PE is not a bad fallback.

  • Closest non-Airport railway station from Melbourne and Brisbane Airports

    Sep 27, 2017, 03:04 PM

    Both these processes are bizarre ways to save trifling amounts while giving anyone with luggage a great deal of hassle - each to his/her own I suppose.Oddly, in Sydney, if you're more tight fisted than I have been so far (but tempted given the price of airport rail), you can take the train to sub...

  • How quickly do QF Status Credits get awarded?

    QF are pretty good, but Jetstar take forever, I find that credits from Cathay arrive much faster.

  • Gold FF in Qantas domestic business

    Jun 19, 2017, 05:36 PM

    I was surprised in Sydney recently to be told that I couldn't access the domestic business lounge using my QFF Gold. Not a huge problem as I'm QC Life, but it seems odd I can use my QF Gold with one world around the world but not with Qantas in Sydney.Also, I was surprised that I couldn't access ...
