Qantas to upgrade economy seats
Jan 17, 2024, 03:09 PMWhat hyperbolic nonsense, Qantas satisfactorily ran 744's for upwards of 25yrs, the A333's (avg age 19yrs) are functioning adequately and will suffice with a seat replacement while the airline awaits delivery a gargantuan order of new equipment from Airbus. Some of you need to go outside and touc...

Your guide to Qantas Frequent Flyer Green tier [2022[
Nov 27, 2021, 09:40 AMWell said. The vitriol from the ET community is a little bit baffling and sad. I don’t recall seeing this kind of acerbic commentary when Qantas established other non-flight bolt ons to its QFF program, such as Points Club. If this initiative changes some peoples consumer behaviours to be m...

How to get a COVID-19 test certificate for international travel
Oct 19, 2020, 12:15 PMThese spurious "rapid testing" kits are a dismal solution to pre-departure screening. They have a consistently documented high rate of false negatives (up to 29%), meaning COVID positive travellers will board flights with misplaced confidence, and won't quarantine on arrival at their destination....

Could frequent flyer points become a traded commodity?
Oct 07, 2020, 10:57 PMLeave it to Wall Street to find a way to leverage airline FF points into an exotic class of securities. Given enough time, I'm quite sure JP Morgan could parlay the smiley stamps on schoolchildren's homework into a tradable new asset, to the real benefit of nobody.

Are some transit stopover times too short?
Jan 23, 2019, 09:47 AMWhen flying MEL-DXB on QF, and then onward to LHR/CDG/DUS with EK, the transit times were consistently too short to get my checked baggage unloaded from QF and then loaded onto my EK flight... even with a 60+ min transit. The number of times I arrived at my destination with no baggage was borderl...

Qantas opens new Melbourne Airport Qantas Club, business class lounge
Oct 31, 2018, 02:20 PMThe new Qantas Club is pretty grim, it feels like a dark noisy cafeteria. No natural light. No carpet or acoustic baffling. I'm so disappointed to confess I'd rather the old unrenovated lounge with tarmac views!Some improvements to the food, but if you've been to the business lounge next door, yo...
