    Qantas QF7 retimed to 11.50am departure from Sydney

    Did a dummy SYD-DFW booking for April 2025 and QF7 appears to have a new timing of departing at 10.25am and arriving at 10.45am into Dallas Looks like it will be more attractive for same day flights onwards to the east coast now that QF11 is an evening service. Interesting flights on the way...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    On the delayed QF2D after switching back from BA11 in the end. Was in economy and by the far the best flight down the back of the bus. Would have been about 70 people so everyone had a whole row to themselves. Economy is much more enjoyable with a 4 seat lie flat bed haha. The A380s in economy...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    Judging by the seat map the delayed QF2 looks to be very empty down the back of the bus now. Looks like Qantas has offloaded majority of passengers to other flights (I guess to avoid paying out the considerable pricey UK261). We were shifted to BA11 on 16/5

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    I'm on that flight. Nice to have had the notice, but certainly keeping us busy teeing up another nights hotel and the call centre not being helpful with our connecting flight in Singapore. least we should get UK262 compensation to soften the blow

    Qantas to introduce hot meals and hot snacks on most domestic flights, extends tea and coffee service

    Bring back the actual hot dinner (with a chocolate if you were lucky) too that you'd get on QF golden triangle services pre-Covid I say. Would be a winner in my books

    BA - LAX check in time

    Hi TRS123 Just found on FlyerTalk this forum from the start of this month which might answer your question. The 13th post has an image which shows BA280 check in opens at 12.50pm ahead of the 17.10hr departure...

    Weirdest item you've seen taken as carry-on?

    Might have taken half a dozen loaves of bread as carry on once because the bakery was great haha.

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    Looks like Qantas could be making an ASX announcement on Monday outlining changes to its frequent flyer program. Likely to be the formal launch of its Classic+ product.

    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    Gold frequent flyer here and very disappointed by this news as someone who has benefited pretty much every time on the golden triangle by selecting Row 4 at T80. While Qantas is touting it as great for P1 and chairman's club flyers, it is very much a devaluation of those unwritten but very...

    https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/qantas-announces-new-chairman/ Former Telstra chairman John Mullen has been drafted to become the next chair at Qantas, replacing Richard Goyder. Reading his bio in the release. Mr Mullen is certainly racking up the director fees at the moment...

    Is travel to Israel/ME realistically possible?

    Looks like all the major airlines which suspended flights last year (Emirates, Cathay, the euro and US carriers) are returning to Tel Aviv from March, so that would be an indication that it is possible from a logistics perspective.

    AA to fly BNE to DFW [confirmed]

    Heard from a friend at Brisbane Airport that AA is going to be starting services later this year. Apparently it will be announced very late tonight Australian time, but morning in the US. Certainly will make QF's option to the US even more inferior.

    Qantas hires consultants to improve on-time performance

    Hopefully they take a look at the A380s... Seems like there is always some kind of hold up making them push up a little bit later than scheduled than say Singapore Airlines and Emirates in my experience.

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    Had the new version on our flight to Noumea the other day + plus the French version of it, which probably all up took 8 minutes. The French one was much shorter without all the backstories and took just under 3 minutes.

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    Edited version is much better than the media cut, but six minutes is still a very long safety video. I feel 4 minutes is the sweet spot in keeping people engaged like the "safety in style" era from 2013-2015

    Qantas Damaged Bag

    My Samsonite bag came out on the carousel at Sydney T3 on Monday missing a wheel, which is not ideal when flying out again on holidays in a few days time. Saw Baggage Services who have did some paperwork and have also had to complete the online form on "what to do next" in getting it repaired...

    Do you prefer silent airport lounges & terminals with no announcements?

    Happy for a quiet lounge if only visual announcements/airport website information actually matches with what is happening at the gate. Too many times I've gone to the gate when I first see "boarding" on the screen to find out that boarding has not started, or that the plane has literally...
