Is this a common thing in North America? While I was in a domestic Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge last week, one of the lounge attendants came around holding a tray and offered to clear away my empty plates/glasses etc. That in itself isn’t unusual. What I found unusual is that there were several...

You could always ring the call bell, and when the FA arrives, ask if they have any earplugs. If the FA is on the ball they should understand the issue - they would be able to hear the noise coming from the aisle seat.

Why do you say this? (Not necessarily disagreeing, but curious about your reasoning.)

At this point I probably would have discreetly (if possible) asked a flight attendant to get involved.

I hope this catches on. I can't stand people watching movies without headphones in public spaces. Often I'll ask them to use headphones, but that doesn't always go down well.

Enjoy, everyone. I'll be on QF76 while you're having dinner.

I believe a QF codeshare is also a prerequisite for being able to redeem Qantas points to book a seat on the route. Hopefully that happens, SYD-PPT is a cool route and would be a nice redemption option.

Looks like you can book via HKG (Qantas to HKG and then Cathay) using Classic Rewards. But not for cash. Probably Qantas just has no commercial fares filed to this destination, for some reason.

One of the things I use ExpertFlyer for is searching visa information/entry requirements. That feature hasn’t been working for the past month and they’ve ignored my inquiries about when it might be restored.

Do you have an example of a date where QF10 is running to Melbourne?

Not with Virgin Australia, but I attempted to fly ahead last Sunday on a Mexican airline and it most definitely backfired spectacularly. I was in Guadalajara and booked to fly to Mexico City on a 6pm flight with Viva. Around 11am, the city got locked down and roads started to get blockaded, so...

While this is formally being removed with the retirement of Points Club, I understand that Qantas is considering bringing back the ability to earn status credits on Classic Rewards through a different mechanism. This isn't yet decided or confirmed yet.

Interesting changes indeed! I've written this piece for AFF which explains in detail what's changing, as well as my thoughts on the program changes: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-status-changes-2026/

I do recall a few QantasLink Q300 flights with only one flight attendant, rather than the usual two. Those were all lightly loaded flights with ~20 pax onboard. I’m guessing 2 FAs would have been required if the actual passenger count was above 36?

Sure is.

Got a similar offer for an upcoming booking with Mexican low-cost airline Viva. If I click "View Options" it goes to a page with a selection of alternative flights to choose from. I might have been interested, but the "compensation" is only in the form of Viva Cash (i.e. a voucher to use for a...

When is the improved lounge food going to start?

This might just be me, but it bugs me when I have to flag down a server just to get a glass of water or orange juice. I sometimes feel like the hotel has deliberately chosen to remove these things from the buffet so that you have to be “served” - and then are expected to therefore leave a tip.

The IHG Diamond breakfast voucher excludes “specialty drinks” but some hotels have started to interpret this in a way that I don’t think aligns with what a reasonable person would consider special. I would consider alcohol or something like a frappe to be a specialty drink, not barista coffee...
