Qantas: axing service desks means “more choice” for flyers
Dec 02, 2020, 05:01 PMI prefer approaching the staff member at the self serve kiosks if I have an issue. Usually no, to little wait, and saves time standing in a desk queue. I also find staff attitude is a bit friendlier and more helpful. I’m sure a similar approach would work in the lounge. Willing to give this...

Aug 28, 2020, 02:17 PMDriving along General Holmes Drive the other day I saw one in the rear seat of a Mercedes convertible. Maybe staff are getting first dibs.

Review: Qantas Airbus A380 first class
Feb 05, 2020, 08:54 AMExcellent review Brandon. Comprehensive and fair. Qantas needs to address the inconsistency issues and invest in making its first class product unique and exceptional. We don't all fly in first but it sets the standard for the rest of the airline and signifies whether management is serious abou...

Air New Zealand launches non-stop Auckland-New York flights
Oct 23, 2019, 02:19 PMAir NZ have flown this route to London for decades. I remember landing in Gatwick in the 80s not Heathrow. Must be a big shock to the airline's employees and Kiwis more generally. London has always had a strong pull for the young on both sides of the ditch. Bit of a shame they couldn't have con...

Qantas tips further Brisbane growth on US flights
Jun 19, 2019, 10:46 AMWould JFK be beyond the reach of the 787 from Brisbane? If not, then I'd rather do transfer at Brisbane than LAX and have all the domestic traffic funnelled through Queensland. I'm guessing though the logistics don't work and QF will wait for the Sunrise project to deliver an aircraft that can.

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!
