Could Qantas move to spend-based status?
Dec 09, 2024, 02:49 PMSince covid I have taken a flight to London each year choosing PE on Qantas. Always book when the double SC offer is open. That earns SC 580 points. Another domestic or NZ flight then gets me to renew gold status. I have put in for an upgrade to business for 6 flights to a...

Qantas A380 premium economy review, guide [2025]
Aug 15, 2024, 09:20 PMI’ve flown PE on QF1 and 2 repeatedly the past few years and have been very happy with all aspects of the product. Easy to justify the price difference with economy, but not so with business. As a gold member I’ve been upgraded to business a few times and while I highly rate the...

Here is Qantas’ all-new premium economy seat
Jan 21, 2024, 09:41 AMThe current PE seat in the A380 allows you to slip a pillow over the headrest. I find that works pretty well. The mock-ups shown here don’t seem to incorporate that in the A350 design. Maybe that could be clarified with Qantas?I think PE is good value. I compare it w...

What’s next for Qantas in the post-Alan Joyce era?
Sep 05, 2023, 10:06 AMThe Qantas pile on is of a sort with others recently. Danger of throwing baby out with bath water stuff. The airline can improve but so can most. I’ve had no issues with flying either Qantas or Jetstar since Covid lifted. No cancelled flights, luggage arrived, staff are friendly...

Sydney airport pickup zones are horrible!
Aug 10, 2017, 12:11 PMSydney domestic is about as ugly and inconvenient an airport terminal as it is possible to find. An ad hoc mess that just gets worse everytime they meddle with it. I'd close and demolish the centre carparks and shift all parking out to the Blue Emu facility with a frequent shuttle service put in ...

Flying Sydney to Santiago economy with QF, seat tips?
Sep 07, 2016, 04:00 PMI've been stuck in 46K on that leg. Aviod at all costs, the bulkhead of the door sits right in front of you so you have to swing your legs to the left. It becomes very uncomfortable. Although its easy to get up and go to the bathroom and the FAs tend to take pity on you and spoil you a bit.

Will the qantas 787 be used for Asian flights.
Mar 31, 2016, 01:11 PMQantas will look to increase frequency. So a five weekly service becomes daily for example. Daily or twice daily services represent a big leap forward in network expectations; especially for business travellers who may have to choose a competitor if a meeting is scheduled for the odd day with no ...

Dec 18, 2015, 01:54 PMThat sounds pretty good Andrew. Much more relaxing. The NSW Government will be replacing current trains, so lets hope the service is given a significant boost.

Dec 16, 2015, 01:10 PMQantas PE is definitely worth the upgrade. It represents one of the best ways to use your points, but it is a bit hit and miss whether you get it. Good luck!
