Qantas to retire A380 from 2032, replace with A350
Aug 24, 2023, 12:53 PMAgree, and with Emirates going through a similar process it's means codeshares into London will be equally problematic. Presumably Project Sunrise expansion to Paris, Rome, Frankfurt will help spread the load.

23-hour marathon: Qantas restarts New York flights
Jun 14, 2023, 05:31 PMThe PJs are issued by Qantas, to Qantas passengers on Qantas planes. Qantas emblem is a stylised kangaroo... what did you expecton them? Sleepy koalas? A lamington? Uluru? The PJs are what they are, I personally am happy to wear them.

Qantas extends frequent flyer status up to mid-2024
Aug 21, 2022, 08:26 PMWhire I wish you well, in my opinion SA are far worse than OW. Super Elite with Air Canada seemed to earn me a stale bun every now and again and a person to call when they stuffed up AGAIN,

Review: Qantas Rome-Perth-Sydney Boeing 787 business class QF6
Jul 12, 2022, 06:52 PMI just dont get the "shock/horror: no wifi". On airlines that do have it, it's never really amounted to much, and its not like there's not an excellent entertainment system on QF long distance flights. While I have not done Rom-Per, I have flown QF Syd-YVR in same metal and found it excelle...

ITA Airways charts fresh course with new cabins, menu, uniforms
May 14, 2022, 08:37 AMWile no guarantee of good or ill, I'd suggest that every US airline would prove private ownership is no panacea. I wish ITA all the best regardless of ownership structure.

Would you sign up for a Qantas or Virgin ‘flight pass’ subscription?
Mar 11, 2022, 02:16 PMAir Canada offered a similar thing. From memory the statement divided Canada into three regions. A basic pass got you to a neighbouring region, but you'd needed an up graded pass to fly coast to coast. Given 80% of their business passengers were flying coast to coast....

Airbus A320neo, Boeing 737 MAX vie for Qantas' future domestic fleet
Mar 16, 2021, 09:08 PMI don't know why Qantas would want to deal with the fall out from the MAX failures (mechanical and PR) unless Boeing made the price positively irresistible. That said Boeing NMA is probably worth keeping a eye on for next cycle. It is sad but after the brilliance of the 787 (again pr a...

Cathay Pacific plans A350s on all Australian flights by November
Jan 16, 2021, 09:34 AMGreat news. I do not understand those pasengers that consider the 777 a great plane. I am assuming its success is due to accountants, because in my own case as a passenger I have found 777s as sub optimal no matter what class of travel. Being able to fly Australia-Canada on a 350 on both legs (wh...

Qantas gives grounded frequent flyers bonus status credits
Jul 15, 2020, 08:45 PMThe shutdown cost me getting back to Platinum. Not Qantas, not "the government"; a virus, public health emergency shut down. Yes I was annoyed, but my status vs peoples lives is a no brainer.I sincerely appreciate Qantas efforts at keeping my loyalty. I understand that their efforts dont work for...

Facing challenges before the outbreak, Emirates' golden years are gone
Mar 27, 2020, 03:57 PMWby don't you just say it: "let them eat cake"!Travel broadens the mind. It is has and always will be a good thing.Business travel that insists on "free" items all paid for by customers and shareholders is probably far more unnecessary than so called "unnecessay" travel.

Europe’s sleeper trains are back, with a modern design twist
Jan 08, 2020, 05:53 PMAs a wiley youth back in the 70s I took an overnight train Milan to Amsterdam and then back the following night. Two reasons: cheap o'night accommodation, and just near Amserdam station was a cheap laundromat! Also took sleeper Naples to Palermo with the train going on a ferry.Why can't an o'nigh...
