What’s it’s like to fly in the Qantas A220
Feb 25, 2024, 05:03 PM@david - and thanks from me, as well. It answers the question I asked 22nd Feb. Any insight into why Qantas has chosen not to take advantage of this option? My guess would be it is only because it may have had an impact on either the aisle width, or the ability to make all three of the right...

What’s it’s like to fly in the Qantas A220
Feb 22, 2024, 11:55 AMDavid, an excellent review of the new A220-300. However, there is one point missing from the review. Can you confirm whether Qantas [has / has not] opted for the slightly wider seat width in the Y class 'E' seats ? This feature (if implemented) allows the middle-seat passengers an extra inch...

Fast, free WiFi coming to Qantas international flights this year
Feb 22, 2024, 11:26 AMFinally, about time !Yes, we all know Qantas wants passengers to have a superior WiFi experience.

Qantas considers ‘subscription model’ for lounge access
Feb 19, 2024, 08:16 AMIn reality, it will come down to what cost for subscribers Qantas chooses. Too expensive (and no guest pass included) will be ignored. Too cheap and you destroy other existing Qantas revenue streams.The other questions to consider are: a) what happens to 'guest' passes for Silvers? If you abolish...

United Lounge access on Intl to Domestic connection
Feb 25, 2024, 10:51 AMHave to concur with StuParr (above). Polaris information is spot on - but 45 mins to clear Customs and Immigration in SFO? You may need that lounge access more than you think, as you await to join a later flight. It seems to me that your planned connection is less than the required MCT (minimum c...
