Qantas now offers early check-in at LAX
Mar 17, 2023, 05:14 PMWouldn't it be fantastic if they had this (reintroduced this?) option at Heathrow? It has been such a bunfight my last few flights, with queues snaking back into the thoroughfare causing havoc. If there was early check-in, it would smooth out chaos a little. I seem to remember that pre covid you ...

What was your best upgrade?
Jan 07, 2022, 05:18 PMMy one woman protest against Mr Trump was to not visit the US while he was in power, and Covid-19 has kept me in check since, so my upgrade story must be from 2015 or 2016.The trip was Syd -> LAX -> JFK. I am not sure if I was QFF Gold or had just clawed my way to Platinum for the first tim...

Qantas Double Status Credits offers for 2020, booking tips
Feb 26, 2020, 12:05 PMI had the same problem Rufus1. Constantly getting error messages and having to start again. Not being able to book a multi city ticket at the Flex level - conference dates may change - only the 'lowest fare' would register, anything else got the booking dumped, again. Obviously the call centre wa...

Qantas pulls the plug on London Heathrow arrivals lounge access
Jan 24, 2020, 07:31 PMHow annoying. To have had the possibility to have a shower etc. and not known about it. I did ask an onboard purser a few years ago if there was an arrivals lounge we could access, but he said not that he knew of. A shower, even if I had had one in Singapore, would have been most welcome, but als...

Qantas vs Virgin Australia: comparing inflight Internet WiFi
Apr 22, 2017, 03:23 PMI am usually happy to have the excuse of a flight to avoid emails, calls etc so I will be a reluctant adopter I suspect. And I think you are right David, speed is only relevant if you are getting major buffer breaks that thwart your viewing. If the site load or refresh time is a little longer up ...
