Qantas cuts lounge access for Jetstar passengers
Mar 22, 2026, 10:40 AMThe more subtle change is that Qantas is no longer selling paid Jetstar flights on its website for domestic sectors with at least a couple of daily Qantas flights (e.g., no Jetstar options from HBA-MEL or HBA-SYD, but still showing on HBA-BNE). Jetstar flights show as classic rewards on all route...

Why Qantas & Virgin need a ‘plus one’ garment bag allowance
Mar 07, 2026, 12:00 PMI have never had a problem travelling Qantas business class within Australia or overseas with a carry-on bag, small backpack/laptop bag and suit. Check-in staff have confirmed that (for the size bags I have) that is within policy. If you need three larger bags then you should be checking them in!

What’s it’s like to fly in the Qantas A220
Jan 10, 2024, 12:23 PMYou 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...

Qantas prepared to skip Brisbane, Perth to restart overseas flights
Sep 13, 2021, 10:41 AMWhat 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...

MEL-LST A220/Q400
Jan 01, 2025, 12:02 PMTheir Launceston schedule from April is not even correct: the LST-SYD-LST flights are two hours late compared to the gap left by the inbound MEL-LST and outbound LST-MEL aircraft.

Frequent Flyer Frequently Delayed
Dec 12, 2024, 10:17 AMThe main concern for me is the poor handling of connecting flights when delays occur. Two weekends ago, flying paid business class, I was rebooked onto four different itineraries from Hobart to Paris within 12 hours of my departure time as flights were delayed by 3+ hours or cancelled. Qantas was...

Anyone dare to explain?
Aug 06, 2024, 08:56 AMOriginally Posted by Serg Originally Posted by drno If the flight is near full on that day the tickets cost more. It's fairly universal across all airlines to stop discounting when the seats are almost gone at their highest demand. Your explanation as well as others is great, but still does not...

Aug 05, 2024, 06:49 PMOriginally Posted by Serg Originally Posted by dm12 You do realise there are other airlines? This is not the point and BTW out of Sydney QF quite competitive.

Cannot select Business Class seats on one flight
Dec 11, 2023, 04:54 PMOriginally Posted by MKS11 I have this same problem too. Both on a cancelled (by QF) and rebooked flight MEL to SYD, but also on a MEL to BWT flight plus the return, which I booked months ahead on classic rewards. I find it hard to believe that one is full already... And I'm plat. You cannot sel...
