I think they use an automated self-serve check in after-hours, so no need for an employee to be present to let arriving guests in?

A Parma & Pot, vesus a Parmy/Parmi & Middy, hahahah 🤣😂

I think you might be reading the text with too much hope in your mind. I read it (e.g. the one pictured toward the top of this page) as saying that you can have the full menu options available to choose from, if you order during the post-departure service window, or, you can select items from...

I think that passengers would also bear the brunt of significantly higher prices, if the company wanted to make a return on investment from the lower capital utilisation rates you suggest! (Or more to the point, there wouldn't be many passengers left anyway, at the ticket prices required to...

Speaking of modern flight reservation systems, haha... Something similar happened to me on AA a few years back I had an overnight planned in NYC, but due to issues that day with late flights and missed connections, I ended up in Boston overnight instead. The BOS station manager gave me the...

Absolutely agree, it would benefit MEL as much as us, to get regular flyers, who know the ropes, into their own lane and through quicker. Although, last week they were having probelms with the new scanners not forming an image correctly, and around 80% of bags were automatically being sent...

The gluten free cookie was part of the previous pantry: when pantry went through its last menu refresh, the cookie was swapped out for a kitkat... so I don't think there are any dedicated gluten free items in the pantry at the moment?

I am the opposite as well. MEL_Traveller do you drink wine with you meal? IME Qantas CSMs are on autopilot for wine refills during their service, but I drink spirits, and am most often forgotten for refills on QF... but I definitely get spirit refills on Virgin. (But I do sometimes ask, though...

...and, also a compliment. IME a separate service of drinks and snacks prior to the meal service is not standard for a Darwin flight. I personally love it when the CM does a pre-meal drink on longer flights (like Qantas) but they don't have to do it! (And, when they do, they also complete it so...

Conversely, the chicken sandwich is the one I get all the time on that route. The bottom is soaked in oil by the time it is served (which is probably why it tastes so good), so I have to turn it over, to pick it up and eat it (I refuse to use a knife and fork to eat a sandwich 😖).

My general rule of thumb, for economy, is - choose an Airbus over a Boeing, they generally have slightly wider seats (there are caveats, especially some ULCCs). images source - Airbus calls for airlines to offer minimum 18-inch seat width in long-haul economy

The problem with your suggestion is that domestic airports actually want those "interlopers" air-side. The business model for most major airports in Australia requires that domestic terminals operate like a shopping centre, to be able to make an overall profit. That means airports want anybody...

BA has GGL (Gold Guest List) which is probably best to compare with P1 at QF, but they also have Executive Club Premier which is similar to QF's CL (invitation only, based on "influence"). source: www..headforpoints.com Emirates has "IO", which is similarly invitation only, there are no...

I wonder what business class seats they will have? If they do fly to Perth exclusively with the mega leg-room/recline ones (which came fitted to a later acquisition) then they will have a significant product difference to the QF & VA B737 transcon J offer, (although I don't like the slippery...

As per the headline, it's tight but Airbus and Stelia (seat manufacturer) think they can conceptualise cramming in 3x3 (staggered) lie flat seats, onto single aisle A320 aircraft - they call it C Suite. https://runwaygirlnetwork.com/2023/06/airbus-stelia-c-suite-ultra-compact/ Image from...

When I last did it on an NZ flight (which must have been around 5 years ago, co-incidentally) they had a station set up in the aerobridge, positioned after you scan your boarding pass at the gate entrance (so no way you could pass things off to someone else to hold while you were weighed...

And, by "smaller ports", you mean Australia's 6th largest city? (Population by Significant Urban Area - #6: G.C./Tweed)

Talking about the chicken and time to heat up, here is what happens to the cheese when it spends too much time in the oven prior to service (due to turbulence, and crew being seated). (Longer flight, hence dessert, and "Silkair" plane, hence bulkhead.)

You kind of remembered correctly: AA did put its QF-domestic-business rates up quite a few years ago... but then when AK joined oneworld, it reduced them back down to 20K to match the same rate Alaska charges.

And, by "general boarding" you mean rows 15-30 via the back stairs, right? So, it is; priority boarding only through the front door, priority and general together through the back door.) So, it's not a free-for-all "general boarding" call, i.e. all seats, everyone aboard, until the priority...
