SeatGuru has shut down, so is there an alternative?
Nov 03, 2025, 04:01 PMWhilst obviously lacking subjective commentary, the accuracy and level of detail provided in AeroLOPA's seat maps is superb (e.g. windowless rows, direction in which lavatory doors open) and in many ways more useful than the somewhat generic comments that tended to proliferate in SeatGuru (e.g. '...

Tuck into this winter menu at Qantas’ first class lounges
Jun 07, 2024, 02:28 PMAt the risk of indulging in pedantry, I think that photo is of a Lockheed Super Constellation rather than a DC4? The Connie's triple vertical stabiliser and elegant lines are quite distinctive. And yes, the food in the QF First lounge looks good too . . .

Review: Qantas Airbus A330 business class
Apr 25, 2024, 08:25 PMThe most remarkable aspect of this flight was that it took off at all . . . . the reliability of the Qantas A330s has been woeful of late, and the condition of their cabins leaves much to be desired. And as for the food . . . more butter than beef in that main course, and surely it's time f...

DFW Feedback

TSA queues currently are an absolute mess everywhere - hopefully they will be better by the time you travel. Assuming you are not a US citizen, the only way you could access TS...

Mar 17, 2024, 01:39 PMOriginally Posted by Joe You'll definitely get the QF level of points and SC. Qantas thankfully are fair in these circumstances. Yes, that has been my experience too - I've never had any issue claiming Original Routing Credit with Qantas.

QF early Check In
Feb 06, 2024, 09:05 PMYour can check in any time from 0430 am on the day of travel. As a OW Emerald, you will have access to the QF First lounge prior to departure. Although a pleasant (if somewhat ageing) space with decent food and passable drinks, I wouldn't get there early for this reason alone unless you had absol...

J with toddlers, seat choice
Nov 28, 2023, 11:00 PMPeaceful enjoyment of a premium cabin is a reasonable expectation, but is in no way precluded by the presence of young children therein.
