After the recent announcement of yet another QF enhancement on EK flights I started thinking of all the other things that either failed to happen or have been withdrawn after AJ's grand announcement that the EK-QF partnership would bring us the best of both airlines. This has, sadly, not been...

Until today I have been able to book a side trip to Europe as a common rated destination (i.e. at no extra cost other than taxes etc) when flying QF to LHR (effectively LHR is my stopover en route to the European destination). Today when I tried to book a J fare Aus-LHR with side trip to a...

I recently read the news about the planned new QF lounge at LHR T3. Apparently this is to be a 1 class lounge, despite the fact that the areas to be used was the old SQ lounge on 2 floors. I was told that this is to align it with other international lounges. Why do this on a flagship route with...

I'm flying J soon on QF with a codeshare flight number. I tried to preselect my meal using the Q-Eat service which I have previously found to be excellent. It was not in my MMB. I call the WP help desk and the answer I finally got was that this service is not offered for codesahre tickets...

Standing in the MEL Business dom lounge (no seats left) waiting to find out if my flight is going. Overnight icing has occurred, not infrequent for MEL and an acceptable part of flying. The real problem is that there is no de-icing truck in MEL this morning so we are waiting for the sun to...

This has been my disappointing experience in the SYD Flounge. Last time I arrived with enough time for a leisurely meal. I left without eating anything: could not get seated (despite space available), could not get menu, could not get drinks, could not get order taken; could not get served...

Not sure if this has been asked/discussed earlier but I cannot find it if it has. I do not understand why airlines put service kit in the overhead luggage bins above the bulkhead seats (e.g. row 1 on short-haul). As there is no under-seat stowage it makes no sense to me. Any ideas why?

The Qantas slogans need updating in light of changes over recent months. "The spirit of Australia" would be more accurately rewritten as "The ghost of Australia" given that QFi is now an almost exclusively virtual airline. "for every journey" How??? QFi has such a restricted network that...

Dear fellow FF'ers, After the most recent changes to QF FF I have decided to change FF programmes. CX is an option. I would be grateful for comments on what is good and what is bad about the marco polo club. I am currently QF WP and would like to maintain QWE status (which is now unlikely...

Has anyone compared OW FF programmes recently? Given the way QF constantly 'enhances' its product whilst reducing QFi destinations I am looking at changing loyalty programme. Currently QF FF WP LTG. Typical flights are AUS-LHR with lots of short haul into EUR and arounf AUS + occ rtw via...

Could someone please expalin how the FF programmes make money? Sorry if this has been asked before but not sure how to search for this topic. On a similar vein, how do codeshares make money for the airline that does not operate the flight? Finally, what are the financial benefits for an...

I have just been talking with a BA staff member who told me QF are leaving OW. I queried her but she was adamant that this is what BA staff have been told. Has anyone else heard this? Would red roo or other QF readers like to comment?
