    Qantas QF7 being cancelled?

    They aren't likely to cancel a flight to their US joint venture partners mega hub. October 26 is the start of the (Northern) Winter schedule season. They may want to change the timings and need to confirm slots with DFW

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    Joyce cancelled most of the 787s in 2008 and 2012. The JQ 788s were the only part of the firm order not cancelled. The QF 789s were from the options which had been deferred and pushed back.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    JL and QF used to codeshare on their non stop flights between AU and JP prior to the JL bankruptcy in 2010 with JL pulling out of all Australian routes other then NRT-SYD. The codeshares were halted during the bankruptcy process. After GK started in 2012 and JL was relisted in 2013, the...

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    Lots of people get Air China (CA) and China Airlines (CI) mixed up, often thinking they are both the same thing.

    Short turnarounds: Have you flown back from your destination with the same crew?

    I'd say the people in 0A and 0B are the most important people on the aircraft.

    Qatar "P" Class - It pays to check when booking flights

    For my first solo overseas trip (about a month in the US with a SYD-SFO return on NZ and a series of one way domestics), I booked what I could online (such as it was in early 2005) and booked other sectors as needed from travel agents. I needed to get from BWI to BOS in the evening. I had a bus...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    They could make having them ready to use a condition of lease/purchase from one of the airlines (like AF, TG, MH, KE or OZ) that have parked/retired theirs.

    QF296 Cabin lights remained on overnight

    Was on QF292, the Finnair operated flight from SIN, on Monday night. They turned the lights off shortly after the supper service ended and turned them on during the breakfast service before turning them off again for the last 40ish mins of the before they started getting everything ready to land.

    How well do you sleep on planes?

    Depends on the plane and type of seat. Some times I can get to sleep without a problem and get the normal amount. Other times I can't sleep at all. Also times where I get short amounts of sleep (40-80 mins) with periods of being awake in between. I tend to have better odds of getting...

    Flights to Haneda

    That's a hard one. Requiring a stop over points to going via somewhere in South East Asia, with the obvious options being SIN, BKK, HKG, SGN, KUL or MNL. The requirement for business class removes some other possible connection points. The less then 7 hours per leg can be problematic. PER-HKG...

    I just confused QF and SIN airport staff

    it was only the 2nd time I've been on a Jetstar branded aircraft. First time was a JQ A330 MEL-NRT, connecting from QF out of CBR. That time they changed the QF boarding pass for the JQ flight to a JQ pass at the gate before I could board.

    I just confused QF and SIN airport staff

    There were people lining up at the first batch of the machines before the duty free shop. When I'm arriving via SYD, I normally skip that batch and head to the other machines just after the duty free off to the side before the immigration and e-gate lines start. When I got there, they were just...

    I just confused QF and SIN airport staff

    They may have only interlined because I was booked on the QF code. The QF app tracked my bag just fine for the outbound (CBR-MEL-CGK). Never updated at all for the return. Checking the tracking page on the app from any of the returning sectors just said it was awaiting collection in CGK last...

    General Medical issues thread

    So no issues if I get a covid booster "early" Had my last one in late June last year. Technically not meant to get another one for 12 months. If I went into a chemist tomorrow, they wouldn't have a problem?

    I just confused QF and SIN airport staff

    Just flew CGK-SIN-SYD-CBR. QF5202, QF292, QF1433 QF5202 is operated by 3K202, so I checked in with Jetstar Asia in Jakarta. I was checked through to CBR with boarding passes for all sectors and bag tagged through. Upon landing at SIN, I went to the transfer bus over to T1. The SIN staff member...
