    Op-ed: Airlines Must Take the Seatbelt Sign More Seriously

    Exactly right - but passengers just don’t/wont accept this especially when the seatbelt sign is on for 6 hours of a 10 hour flight, regardless of how close it was or not, an inch or a mile….

    WSI for Western Sydney Airport

    One thing to also consider is the inbound flight connections, I remember reading about a year ago that about 40% of inbound SYD full service carrier flights can connect onwards - which means that QF in particular will need some trunk routes in place to support all their interline partners...

    Op-ed: Airlines Must Take the Seatbelt Sign More Seriously

    It’s a tough one when you are on a flight that the pilot seems to reacts to even the smallest tremor, after a while, justified or not, people just apply the ‘boy cried wolf’ sticker and get up and go to the bathroom… I was on a SQ night flight and I stopped counting at 27, the times they...

    Qantas and Jetstar to launch new Vanuatu routes (Approved by IASC as of July 2024)

    Qantas were partners not competitors with Air Vanuatu… now they aren’t available, there it’s a gap in the QF network that they need to fill, so they are filling it… Codesharing with Virgin probably isn’t on the radar 😜 😂

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    I can speak for a bunch of AU business and also multinationals I work with, many are pulling operations out of China, especially US companies. If you Google it you can read up about the China manufacturing exodus. It’s quite interesting. Corp travel is not as strong as it used to be to China...

    Virgin Australia and Air NZ to Form New Partnership

    Declaring OT (but related) and didn’t want to start whole new thread for something hopefully simple to answer. If you have a domestic NZ flight booked on QF code and it’s a Q300, is it possible to select a seat? QF.com refers to NZ to do it but NZ doesn’t accept the QF PNR?

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    Some zingers coming out from ‘aviation experts’ on ABC radio tonight… plenty of creative plays on the name but this one was also good: ‘They started an airline flying between places not many people wanted to fly between, on aircraft models no one wants to fly on and didn’t sell tickets in the...

    Anyone know how bad the UAE disruptions are?

    Our CEO was trapped in Spain for a couple of days, Emirates ended up booking them back on Qantas via London to get them back faster! Rain looked incredible…

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Exactly. And since the Virgin ‘enhancements’ to their PB it’s really fallen away sadly. Messy now too. Will be interested to see how the new QF process goes.

    SFO Qantas Lounge

    I thought I read JL closed the SFO lounge and use BA. SF is a city in a world of pain still sadly, what a mess.

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

    A vast vast vast majority won’t even notice it’s happened because they didn’t know about it in the first place. AFF population excluded of course :) Thank you @madrooster for your insightful posts much appreciated.
