A small downside not usually mentioned in reviews of sitting in the First cabin of QF127/128 is the level of service.  The ratio of flight attendants to passengers is very different in this situation.  First Class passengers normally expect 1 Flight Attendant to about 4 pax, whereas Bus...

I know that it's not popular for all those with connecting flights, but QF11 departures in the morning were awful for trying to sleep.  Departing at 11am and arriving LAX at midnight Sydney time, yet it's 6am LA time.  Trying to get a good night's sleep starting mid-afternoon is impossi...

Keep in mind that it'll be just $39 a year, which is a pretty small cost component for any international trip.

Beware the fine print: "Wine and beer are offered free of charge on select domestic and regional services on flights departing from 12pm....". So don't expect your 11.55am flight to start serving alcohol at 12pm. But if your flight is longer than 2.5hrs and departs after 9am then alcohol will be ...

There are slot restraints at LHR, but QF has one or two up there sleeve there.  Remember QF32?  QF are still leasing the slots for that flight to BA.

David, what a treat to go behind the scenes to see who they make those famous satays.  I hope that you were able to sample some at the end of your tour.

I was at Alice Springs last month, and 80% of the aircraft in storage there were CX, and I saw dozens of them.  The next biggest airline there was Scoot with about 6 aircraft.

The good news is that VH-OQH is currently on its way back to Sydney, due to arrive 27th July, after being in Abu Dhabi for the past 4 months.  That will now mean that Qantas will shortly have 4 x A380's operating.

Was it Qantas that had a large wine vending machine in one of their lounges at least 10 years ago?

"...at the moment".  It's been this bad for 5-10 years!If only Qantas could improve the functionality of their website so that customers could self-manage more of the common requests they have to make to call centre staff.  They clearly know what the most called problems are about, and ...

Be careful if you're thinking of not declaring a high-value item upon your return if you've claimed the TRS on the way out.  Border Force have always had the ability to flag you in their system for travellers leaving Australia with a high-value item.  The traveller will be flagged to be...

A bit of realism is required about our hopes of an immediate surge in arriving tourists.  The ABC reported today where our tourists in 2019 came from.15.4% from China, but ongoing tensions and their own tough quarantine requirements will affect many14.8% from NZ, but the issue remains about ...

I once entered the Qantas Lounge at Narita, and regretted it instantly.  I quickly returned to the JAL lounge.But to be fair, it did at least have a decent window view of the airfield, something that many airport lounges in other locations seriously lack.

This is just a tiny extension of the existing same-day cancellation policy.  Now 24hrs instead of same-day.And they add a new restriction that the flight must be at least 30 days away.

They're good improvements to the app.But what is needed most is improved functionality in both the QF website and their app that removes the need for pax to call Qantas for a variety of issues, with the inevitable many hours wait for most customers.  Qantas knows what the most common reasons...
