  • Qantas to retire A380 from 2032, replace with A350

    Aug 24, 2023, 10:10 AM

    They will need to increase the frequency of the Intercontinental flights with the A350 to make up for the reduction in capacity of the A380. That could be a problem with slot constrained Heathrow.

  • Qantas extends frequent flyer status up to mid-2024

    Aug 22, 2022, 10:21 AM

    I'm doing my status run later today (B787 Perth to Melbourne) and now find out I didn't need to go to the trouble 😄. To top it off the flight is delayed as it left Heathrow late thanks to the dramas at that airport. Just got my QF email and have received 30,000 points as a platinum gift w...

  • Qantas adds WiFi streaming movies, TV shows to all QantasLink jets

    Sep 02, 2021, 11:07 PM

    With all the closed borders I'm flying Qantaslink a lot more often so I'll be making use of this enhancement. I'm flying the nearly 4 hour journey to Darwin (from Perth) in November on the A320 so I'm delighted those jets are getting upgraded first.

  • Qantas to launch seven-hour scenic 'flight to nowhere'

    Sep 17, 2020, 08:17 PM

    Great that points and status credits being offered too. If they did it from Perth and bundled it with a Perth hotel I would jump at it. Only getting 10 status credits on flights within WA.

  • Qantas reopens domestic airport lounges

    Jul 08, 2020, 03:37 PM

    I can advise that Perth business lounge only opening at 0700 and platinum flyers are not allowed access when returning on Qantas flights. Maybe better luck when I fly to Kalgoorlie in September.

  • Qantas domestic lounge reopening date?

    Jun 04, 2020, 12:06 AM

    Does anyone know when Qantas will reopen domestic lounges? In a recent fly well press release it mentions 12 June for the roll out of measures and mentions changes to the operation of lounges? With every state allowing, or soon allowing (Tasmania), its residents to travel intrastate is it likely ...

  • Once travel resumes, where will you be headed?

    Jun 03, 2020, 05:31 PM

    Will the gradual removal of intrastate borders within WA I've just come back from 2 nights in Bunbury, a drive of just under 2 hours from Perth, as the southern border was the first to go. I've just booked a 2 night stay in Geraldton for early July, a 1 hour flight on Qantas, as the northern bord...

  • Qantas 25% status credit bonus on flights to NZ

    Mar 27, 2019, 01:19 AM

    Received an e-mail today from Qantas offering 25% status credit bonus for all flights between Australia and NZ booked between 23 to 30 March after you have registered your interest. Travel has to be from 1 April to 30 June this year. Has anybody else received the same e-mail? I've done my dash wi...

  • QFF gold/Oneworld Sapphire 2 guests lounge access

    May 23, 2017, 01:07 PM

    It is just one guest. I have gold status but also get 2 QF lounge passes from Westpac each year. When I was in Singapore last year I used my gold status to get one guest into the QF lounge and a lounge pass for the other. Maybe your friend, if eligible, could sign up for one of the credit cards t...

  • Qantas refresh for old Boeing 747s

    Jan 06, 2017, 05:23 PM

    Qantas should have got another 2 A380s and retired those 747s. Their running costs are a lot higher than an A380 and you can't underestimate the cost of annoying loyal Qantas passengers by providing substandard business class products. A little bit off topic, I have a fe...
