• You can still use your own device if seatback screens are provided, but you are forced to use your device if there are no screens. I personally hate using my phone during flight as you either need to hold it or (if provided) sit it quite a distance away on a seatback holder. Laptops aren't a grea...

  • What about running flights from Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory to countries with low or no COVID cases (e.g. Hong Kong, Taiwan, New Zealand, etc.)? I would be very surprised if any of those states/territories open up to New South Wales by Chris...

  • Qantas managed to launch Perth from Hobart last year without subsidies and is now daily year round on the route with up to twice daily flights over summer. Not being able to hub through Melbourne and Sydney for months the airlines were forced to offer direct flights which have remained with corre...

  • This is a very dishonest article. Qantas is not changing its status earning or other fare conditions for any of its marketed fare types. It has simply moved a fare bucket into the discount economy category so its systems can offer an additional price point. The consumer will notice no difference.

  • Melbourne-Launceston has not been operated by Qantas mainline for close to 15 years and Sydney-Ballina launched this year with QantasLink.

  • Qantas only awards status credits on Malaysia Airlines for travel in discount and flexible economy - you have received status credits at the closest earning class of travel. I think ADL-KUL should earn 50 status credits in that class though, rather than 30 which is the rate for the rest of the ea...

  • The condition of some flight credits is that you must spend the entire value of the credit (or more) on your new flights. If you find a cheaper flight then you are charged in a higher fare bucket that uses up all of the credit value.

  • Outbound the transfer buses are working as normal but with reduced frequency. Inbound is a mess as NSW health is using the transfer area; Qantas now parks a bus outside the transfer area that runs roadside to domestic check-in.

  • Lounge access is not included unless you purchased a Business Max fare, though not sure they have a contract lounge in Ho Chi Minh City looking at their website. In answer to the second question, you can only gain access to Qantas operated lounges when flying Jetstar as they are not a oneworld me...
