Qantas trials US-style ‘group boarding’
Apr 17, 2024, 08:22 PMI’m Platinum and I don’t travel in Y. I’d be P1 but Qantas’ network isn’t what it used to be. United and Star Alliance are my North American network now. Transferring through SFO is like heaven compared to the S* Show in LAX. I won’t go if I have to go through ...

Qantas trials US-style ‘group boarding’
Jul 25, 2023, 03:24 PMSo I can see that this topic is REALLY important to so many of you. But I have extensive knowledge and have watched these boarding groups in action overseas.
