    First Qantas A220 revealed

    Tend to agree bar the availability of wifi and usb ports - specially C for power (the lack of unibetsal power in J os baffling though, though mslany newer laptops can power from ISB-C these days. The actualy 717 J seats are probably a little more comfy, but the amenity of power and wifi makes...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    This is OT but... uh wow. No. Competition is good. The extra capacity drives down prices and gives options. plus, and here's the really important part, Australian carriers simply do not have the capacity or capability to serve all the destinations folks want - and certainly not do it in an...

    Assume you meant BME for Broome rather than Barquisimeto, Venezuela? :)

    SkyBus gone up again [Now $23.90 one way]

    The Free Tram Zone was in place before Skybus (a private company) ditched their hotel shuttle. Since I am a local I did not use it, but often saw it of course. My impression was that the streets were congested(it is even worse now in MEL CBD tbh, but that is a whole other topic - thank you...

    Qantas QF7 retimed to 11.50am departure from Sydney

    I would think since this schedule change process is clearly ongoing that QF will revook the domestic connection appropriately since it seems your trip is on the one ticket. Not sure why the CC would say you couldn't change, but I should think it should be rescheduled diring the next few days...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    To be slightly fair, the bulk of QF's overall seat capacity is on domestic too...

    Have you comsidered changing your username to MontrealFlyer261? Asking for a Poutine loving friend.

    Qantas app changes seat when checking in?

    This would not be the app per sé, but QF via Amadeus I imagine. Why? Well that would be interesting to know....

    Qantas QF7 retimed to 11.50am departure from Sydney

    MEL-DFW still appears unchanged at this point, but it only runs a ew days a week.

    Great flight to upgrade on for the bed and bedding is worth it imo.

    Qantas First Class menus

    FOUR HOURS on a late night (well any) departure? Far out. When they used to have the tasting menu in day flights it was quicker. That's ridiculous

    Nah, CBD hotel shuttle/pickup is long gone.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes.

    Agree when it comes to partner flights with short TTL I know woth QF, back in the day with QF flights - reward or paid - they elwould send an email either the same or next day as a reminder to do it before ticketing. I resume that is still a thing.

    Advice on Interline QF-AA & LAX Min Connection Time

    As @equus says - it's not OW or even AA that is the issue here, it's the choice to have separate bookings. As far as AA is concerned the pax is booked on that one LAX-SFO flight and for them, it's up to the pax to show up. US airlines at least have the flat tyre rule which offers some...

    iPhone 15 issues with Qantas F F app May 14 2024

    A note that MPC is for returning ESTA holders.. so if a first time visitor(or first time with new passport) it prob won't work. I don't know about LAX currently but my last year or so worth of entries at DFW have mot required a paper customs declaration (which felt weird every time lol)

    Advice on Interline QF-AA & LAX Min Connection Time

    Welcome to AFF. 1. Yes. If on time. Three hours would be fine. 2. You have to clear CBP and customs - and thus redo security at LAX - no airside connection but there is a connecting flights bag drop pist customs exit. 3. QF should through check to AA given first tix is reward (it is their...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    I would avoid CLT tbh. AA loves to schedule short connections there that can, and do, fail.. plus it's too far east(for LAX-ORD) imo. If you were going to do that might as well route via MIA and aim for one of the widebodies. To placate the direct preferring wife, I woukd just route simply via...
