  • USA bans laptops, tablets, Kindles on selected US-bound flights

    Mar 22, 2017, 02:54 PM

    With the amount of data (work, photos, emails etc.) stored on people's laptops, iPads etc, this opens up the possibility of data theft if and when bags go missing, are lost, miss connections etc.Not to mention the incentive it gives people to take off with bags other than their own.

  • Top tips for in-flight etiquette

    Completely agree. You never know what kind of delicates other people have in their bags... Cameras, sunglasses, laptops etc. Much better for the owner to move/adjust the bag.

  • How London Heathrow plans to become the world's best airport

    Like you and Packetman21 say, T3 is pretty modern (relatively speaking). Furthermore, why on earth would Qantas be building its own new T3 lounge only for the terminal to be knocked down so soon. 2019 surely can't be true? Even though I know this has reported in some circles.

  • Qantas baggage check-in for connecting Oneworld airline flights

    One wonders whether frequent flyer status will have any impact on Qantas' (and other airlines for that matter) willingness to increase passenger convenience on this issue...

  • Reaching yearly Qantas Gold after you get to Lifetime Silver

    Mar 22, 2017, 03:23 PM

    One benefit that would add greatly to LTS is if LTSs were always above standard Silvers in the upgrade request system, regardless of time. Whereas at the moment, given this is not a published benefit, one assumes that a LTS and standard Silver are differentiated merely by when the upgrade request...

  • Qantas Emirates Partnership

    Mar 22, 2017, 03:03 PM

    With the Qantas Emirates Partnership set to expire in barely over 12 months, and in light of the length of time it took to obtain full ACCC approval first time round, assuming the two airlines are keen to extend the partnership - there is no indication otherwise (Qantas profitability is up, Qanta...

  • BA lounge Gatwick South

    Mar 20, 2017, 11:40 AM

    Does anyone have any experiences to share of the new BA lounges at Gatwick South? Wondering what the general verdict is.Long way to go I know but perhaps AusBT can review (since the site has previously reviewed the BA and EK lounges there) when in town to review the new Qantas lounge at LHR - tho...

  • Hi all, Qantas Platinum, travelling back on QF36 tonight.

    Sep 08, 2016, 01:20 PM

    You could also head to the Emirates lounge - always solid in Singapore. Their food is usually pretty good and they serve champagne as well (which they do not at the Qantas lounge unless you're Chairman's lounge and/or Platinum One). However, the bathrooms/showers are not as nice as the Qantas and...
