Last chance for Qantas Double Status Credits
Feb 21, 2024, 11:17 PMFor those actually travelling in First they do quarantine a section of the lounge off for First dining. Was recently in LAX First Lounge where there was a queue of about 12 people waiting for dining tables, but there was still a section of about 20-30 seats reserved for First pax, which I assume ...

Last chance for Qantas Double Status Credits
Feb 21, 2024, 10:41 PMYes, if they are flying on QF metal with you that same day, Plats can take 1 adult guest, regardless of their status, and up to 2 kids (aged 4-17). It's pot luck on availability of SYD/MEL spa treatments in the First Lounge, as they get offered to people actually travelling in First when you...

Emirates restarts Adelaide flights
Feb 07, 2024, 12:56 AMThe 777-200LR is currently the smallest aircraft in the EK fleet, and typically gets used on new routes, or those with low premium demand. It has 302 seats, compared to a typical A350-900 which will be larger, and the 777-300ER which varies between 354 - 428 depending on the specific EK variant.E...

Confirmed: American Airlines launches Brisbane-Dallas flights
Feb 02, 2024, 02:05 AMB787-9 has 400nm+ range up its sleeve on DFW-BNE, so it has enough legs to get there with a full load unless there are stronger than usual enroute winds forecast. It's also about 600nm shorter than DFW-MEL, or PER-LHR on the QF B787-9, so BNE should be fine for a full load ex-DFW most of th...

Qantas A380 and first class returns to Melbourne
Mar 24, 2023, 03:00 PMFrom Nov onwards, there are a number of Tuesdays that are showing A380 - sometimes only on the return leg ex-LAX, possibly allowing for A380's rotating through the LAX maintenance facility. That may well change over the coming months, but I'm currently booked on A380 one of the Tuesdays LAX-...

Qantas : no photos please
Dec 08, 2023, 01:50 PMSurely a right to privacy is a reasonable ask. I was recently on a flight to LAX in QF First and a high profile celeb was sitting behind me. All through the flight a couple of people kept coming down the front stairs and taking sneaky photos through the curtain, including when the person was fast...

Is Qantas price gouging on International connections?
Oct 09, 2023, 06:12 PMI often get connecting flights from MEL-SYD to connect to international services operating ex-SYD. The connecting domestic sectors in Business are usually added onto the international fare for circa $100 or so as a reflection of the airport taxes of the extra 2 sectors from/to MEL. Last few flig...

QF17/18 SYD-LAX
Sep 19, 2023, 05:21 PMIn short, there are a number of related reasons:The daily A380 covers the bulk of pax to LAX, with B787 fleet being stretched thin at the moment. Also allows for B787 to have 13+ hours on the ground for scheduled servicing at the LAX Maintenance Base, or longer depending on the schedule needs.Wit...

QF A380s still not refurbished?
May 26, 2023, 07:39 PMOriginally Posted by rwSydney Would seem so. On QF93 from MEL to LAX at the end of June and the seat map shows the old business layout. Interestingly first class seats are also showing up on the seat map (although none are available on the date of my flight) which would mean they are not selling ...

Status credits on QF flights on Emirates planes
Apr 18, 2023, 08:47 PMI flew it a couple of weeks ago SYD-CHC and no points as yet, but on my return CHC-SYD flight late last week I got credited QFF points and SC's within 3 days. The correct QF8766 / QF8765 codeshares were showing on my tickets and boarding passes, so might need to wait a bit more before the minimum...
