• It is also worth mentioning that EU/UK261 is only payable on delays or cancellations where you will reach your destination three hours or more after originally booked.So in all likelihood if QF/VA cancel your SYD-MEL or BNE and book you on a flight an hour or two later you would still not be enti...

  • This is what annoys me most about the whole OZ Govt grilling of Qantas and giving out to them.  It is all a smokescreen!  Why don't you just bring in legislation that protects the consumer from what the airlines are accused of doing??I am an aussie in the UK and they are just light year...

  • @yorkdm.  You struggled to see the difference between Premium Eco and Eco on PER - LHR!?I will premise this by saying I am far far from a QF flag flyer but if they do ONE thing well, it's Premium Economy.  Economy is meh and Business meh.  But Premium IMHO is one of the best out th...

  • Are the promo shots in the article the 'new' offerings?Looks good but a pity SQ didn't take the opportunity to get ride of the plastic glasses and paper coffee cups.

  • I think it is bizarre that despite launching flights in just over three months time they still have decided what city to fly to.You would think they'd want to get some tickets on sale ASAP!

  • Just out of curiosity, I am guessing the crew being Singapore based are Singaporean?  Are there any Finnish crew on the flight at all?How worldly.  A Qantas flight being operated by a Finnish operator using a Singaporean crew.

  • “People now are all booking on QR because of the Qsuite,” Al Baker added, saying “it’s a brand that is now really known to everybody.”The unfortunate part is that although this is very true, what you book is not necessarily what you will get.I recently booked a QR it...

  • Interesting to read the about the 'friendlier, bitterless' cabin staff on VA versus QF.I arrived in SIN last night on QF and a lot of the cabin crew were fairly new to the co (post COVID anyway).  Of the 7 or 8 working in Business, six were ex Virgin Australia.  And they seemed neither ...

  • - Wifi on international flights is a must.  I would love to fly QF direct from LHR to PER but cannot purely for the lack of wifi.  As a small business owner I cannot be disconnected for 17/18 hours.  I don't care about streaming Netflix or checking social media but I need a service...

  • Quick question....The two guest QF policy for Platinums...does this also extend to non-QF Oneworld Emeralds?

  • @ Sibelius it is actually five - London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and City.LHR obviously the 'golden runways'.  LGW a mixed bag yet the busiest single runway airport in the world (it was at least pre-pandemic anyway).  LTN a mainly low cost hub for Easyjet and Wizz Air.  S...

  • I can only really see Western Sydney Airport being a big success if it offers substantial economic benefits to the airlines that fly in and out of there.In many cities where close-to-city airports were number one choice for airlines and passengers (think Tokyo Haneda and Milan Linate) the only wa...

  • It really depends on the duty free models that airlines use and the routes they fly.I used to be crew for BA and there were a lot of routes we'd fly where we would sell virtually nothing but other routes where the passengers would deplete the entire stock (Nigeria routes for example).  ...

  • Are the twenty A321XLR's all going to Qantas specifically or just within the Qantas group?If they are being delivered to the Qantas group perhaps the first lot of XLR's could be headed for Jetstar?If Qantas does not fit these jets with flat beds and flies them on routes where the competition does...

  • I have just booked my flight from SYD - PER on Thu, 9 FEB.  There are seven non stop QF flights that day.  Six operated by a 737 and one (the last flight of the day) an A330.  Looking ahead to the winter 2023 timetable (Apr) this only goes up to two out of seven daily flights ...
