No need to use the transfer desk as it is the same ticket (LH-issued with QF and SQ flights)

The opening time would not be an issue as I am arriving on QF 1 and would only use the lounge until the boarding of the LHR-bound QF 1. You are also wrong about the luggage and boarding pass as my luggage will be through-checked from Sydney to my final destination as it is all one ticket and QF...

Thank you @Volki but isn't the on arrival lounge access for WPs only for domestic?

I will be flying on a paid F ticket SYD-SIN on QF 1, connecting to a F ticket on Singapore Airlines the same day. Of course I will have SYD Qantas First Class Lounge access (and I think I could also use the Singapore Airlines lounge in SYD, but I am not interested in this) and I will have...

You are of course right under the current Qantas arrangements. However, I absolutely think we should ask Qantas why it does not want to offer the same thing that other airlines (such as BA and Virgin Atlantic) have been doing for years - guaranteed reward seats in every class on every flight...

That is the issue for me - I actually would not mind if crew gave a J drink to someone in Economy if it’s a honeymoon couple or someone else, but of course ONLY after serving all J customers!

This seems to be the go-to hotel for the All Blacks when they are in Tokyo - we stayed there during the Rugby World Cup 2019 and the All Blacks were there then as well - resulting also in limited upgrade opportunities as Hilton Diamond for us then.

Indeed this would give QF no reason to improve. After my last rather disappointing Trans-Tasman trip a few weeks ago I have cancelled my next trip with QF and will probably not book Trans-Tasman on QF again unless the service improves and gets much closer to the pre-Covid service.

I would not see a reason to claim this to my travel insurance if I have a ticket with an airline I expect the airline to transport me to my destination close to the booked time. Of course, there can be delays, but the airline has an obligation to arrange my transport. If neccessary, this...

I think it is rare for the Sydney-Dubai sector, but happens frequently on the Dubai-Europe routes.

I recommend going QR in the choice between QR and EK. Beside (in my view) better food/drinks on QR and similar seats on both, I would avoid EK simply for the risk of an aircraft swap to a 777 and its absolutely outdated Business Class.

Yes, all airlines have a significant amount of waste. On the other hand - should passengers not have a choice? No airline can ever know for sure how much food will be consumed on a flight, so as long as you want to offer every passenger food and drink you will always have waste, especially on...

I can well remember when Qantas was serving St Hugo as red wine in international J (about $45 a bottle nowadays). Today you have a lucky day if your wine in QF international J has a retail cost of half that. While food and drink is not the only consideration, the obvious cost cutting in this...

Thanks for finding the source and it is indeed even more generous than I remembered - but no guaranteed seats in F and all only out of London. In any case I wish there would be such a guarantee on Qantas out of Australia...

Pre-Covid (and I think still now) British Airways guaranteed at least one Business Class award seat on each flight - a shame that QF does not do this. It would probably not make any practical difference to a Bronze member, but it would be a sign that providing Award seats is at least not totally...

I am thinking (without any inside knowledge) that Australia will likely follow the UK rather sooner than later in not requiring any arrival testing at all. By avoiding SIN QF could then avoid all the hassle of testing for its passengers between SYD/MEL-LHR. Therefore I do not think that QF will...

The website only says "until the last scheduled Qantas departure" ( see here) and my understanding is that the late QR departures are well outside of this window.

Yes, based on Oneworld rules you are allowed to use the QF F lounge. However, on a practical level you will not be able because they are usually not open during the QR departure times.

The current planning is for Qantas to use A380s to LHR from 19 June and it will likely be a messy situation where on some days you will get a refurbished plane and on other days the non-refurbished A380, therefore creating chaos with the seat reservations, particularly in J. As I know Qantas, it...

I also find this embarrassing for Qantas and, if this A380 continues operating without getting the refurb together with refurbed A380s, will lead to chaos and frustrations with the seat assignments, particularly in J, when you will never know which type of A380 you get. Such a poor decision to...
