• The 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...

  • The 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...

  • I’ve taken PE on QF1 a couple of times since covid restrictions ended.  Both times I’ve snagged sale fares under $4000 return and double status credits getting me to gold membership.  It’s a perfectly comfortable seat for the journey with decent food, and good service....

  • I 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...

  • Sydney 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 ...

  • I'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.

  • Qantas 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 ...

  • That 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. 

  • Qantas 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!
