Pretty much every visitor to this website and any other FF forum should know by now that QF is rubbish. You can expect a downmarket product at super-premium prices. No excuses for being surprised when it happens.

Given the timing, the airside transit hotel seems the go. T3 hotel is good.

If you accrue Velocity points, then you will have the option of many airlines out of Australia including SQ. QR has been showing good availability for Velocity members compared to QF members. Also there is United and Etihad.

That "research" was flawed and based on people in California reporting their mask wearing or otherwise, with a tiny sample size and massive confidence interval range. The best study has been the Danish one, which showed no benefit to wearing masks.

Both my flights last week, the rope was there and demarcation enforced.

Ad hom attacks, sarcasm, not actually addressing the point. Good one.

They should go the whole hog and do a proper smoking ceremony on each flight. That is an actual profound ceremony and not recently made up for virtue signalling purposes like acknowledgment of country and welcome to country.

Get the bus into KL Sentral, stay at a cheap hotel in Brickfields and enjoy the food! Lots of options!

What DJ said: do not fly Qantas!

Don't you just love the "first world problem" putdown? Mate, if you are paying a premium price for what is advertised to be a premium product, it is not unreasonable to expect that it be delivered. One lav, say a couple of people in front of you in the queue, each wanting to go to the toilet, b...

Yeah, that's the rub. QF is relying solely on rusted-on customers staying with them because of their FF program and the chase for Lifetime Gold. They are certainly not competing on hard or soft product.
