    I make an indignant call every landing, "No, I won't and never will". Time for people to wake up.

    What woke rubbish and perpetuation of propaganda that only those who identify as indigenous (no matter how tenuous the link may be) have a connection to "country".More fitting would be an acknowledgement of the early explorers / captains who were pivotal in pioneering making Australia the way it ...

    Like most things in Victoria, particularly associated with the Vic govt spin, the border permit is 95% spin, 5% action. Fly in weekly have never been checked. Another useless idea designed to increase the brainwashing and obedience of the communist state.

  • No more Qantas Audio

    So Qantas have now cut radio and music from their entertainment offering on seqtback and apparently wifi at least on domestic. A move to appease those incapable of independent thought. Yet more cost cutting. Pretty ordinary.

  • Originally Posted by hutch Qantas has eroding service levels, but you still want to utilise them for their lounges because the Virgin service is so good that they don't have one.

  • Originally Posted by GBRGB Yes I could imagine it would be handy in places like TSV, where for some reason the airport has not built a Virgin lounge after all these years, defies belief really, but wouldn’t you have to be checked in to get in the QF lounge or can you still cancel your tick...

  • A number of regional airports do not have VA lounges. While still a platinum Qantas flyer, I am flying VA more and more these days due to eroding QF service levels. I obtain lounge access by purchasing a Qantas business class ticket for around the same time and using it to access the Qantas loung...

  • It's little wonder that Qantas Loyalty continues to make record profits. They employ a "wear you down strategy", that relies on the passenger to give up wasting their time. For example, every time I have got a first class flight on JAL I have only been credited at PE earn rate - yet it can take h...

  • I was looking at Hong Kong to Europe (zurich) in late 2018 / early 2019 that were available not that long ago with emirates and I have found good availability previously.
