  • Qantas Sydney-Bali Denpasar DPS QF43 QF44 Airbus A330

    May 10, 2022, 09:33 AM

    Hi All (RE: QF Back To Bali)Yes, I'm in need of some R&R back in Bali. QF currently has daily flights on the tiresome 737. Does anyone know if QF have plans to bring the A330, with lie-flat seats, back onto this route?

  • Qantas to fly non-stop between Melbourne and Dallas Fort Worth

    Jan 21, 2022, 04:32 PM

    ...and we all put in our two bob's worth re DFW vs LAX.DFW to SYD I hold my sleeping record up the front with QF8 (380) at 11hrs - still stoked with that one.I agree with QFP1 (a little too often), it all depends on connections. LAX has improved out of sight, but I do agree that Customs and clear...

  • Etihad’s extravagant Airbus A380s may return to the skies

    Jan 21, 2022, 04:10 PM

    Interesting comment, cbourl. I think if we're lucky to be up the front we shouldn't be whinging too much. This said, if we're paying for it, yes, you can expect a bit. Personally, I used to enjoy the EY First Lounge before the run home to SYD from AUH. The sleep was a ripper. If anything, I ...

  • Qantas Sydney-Singapore-London A380 flights to restart June 19

    Spot On, QFP1. Well Said.

  • Qantas once ordered 20 Airbus A380s – now only ten will fly again

    Sep 24, 2021, 04:53 PM

    Weel Done, David - another great article.The reality is that customers do enjoy the 380. Yes, she's a big bird with plenty of space...and punters feel safe. That's something we don't always acknowledge. Passengers feel reassured in the A380.Forgive the 'tickets'. I earner most of my P1 credits on...

  • Emirates & Status Retention - The Bliss of Arrogance

    Aug 05, 2020, 03:52 PM

    There's nothing worse than a whinger. In our (Australian) culture, it's the person you run a mile from. So, with this in mind please forgive the forthcoming.Emirates lives in a world of blissful arrogance. Status Retention? No such thing. And, why, praytell, is that so? Simply because EK expects ...

  • Qatar's Doha business class lounge is so busy!

    Jul 03, 2019, 02:49 PM

    Yes regretfully QR hasn't managed to find a balance between Al Safwa & Al Mourjan access. One is an empty ballroom, the other a Tokyo subway.

  • First class to Europe: Etihad vs Singapore Airlines

    May 15, 2019, 02:36 PM

    Good question. If you're on your own I'd say EY. It's a wonderful product and for the long haul, hard to beat. The Apartment is the bee's knees. I do disagree with the commentary about the Lounge. The First EY Lounge I'd take over the SQ Private Room. If they know you are in First you will be wel...

  • Malabo! That's Right, Malabo.

    Feb 13, 2019, 03:07 PM

    Now you're probably searching high & low for Malabo. It's in Equatorial Guinea (known as EG). We've won work here for the next 12-18 months and I need to get people from Australia (SYD, MEL, BNE, PER, ADL) into Malabo (SSG).Does anyone here (and I could find nothing in Search) have any experi...
