For departure from SYD, your Australian passport will need to be entered into the system - you will depart using smart gates at immigration, where you need to be processed as an Australian leaving the country, these gates pull their information from from the check in system, if there is a...

It says "new era", so it has to be something "new", IMO the only really "new things" they absolutely need are; new planes and new seats. On the former, we know they have the MAX on order, so unless they are going to cancel them and present something else, then they need to start getting the...

ROFL - on Qantas!? - the "ignore button" as we know it on AFF

If this is a first strike move towards taking an ownership position in Virgin, then wow!

I too suspect that it is just easier for them to see a wine refill. Years ago, many of them were trained to enquire, "is there anything else I can get you?", some still do - and I find that quite a useful time to ask for another Scotch. (I do other things too, like move the Scotch glass off the...

...and, shortly after that, some of the ski fields often on the left - fun fact for Europeans: the Australian Alps get more snow each year than the Swiss Alps!

That's it... just think, T4, that's all.... You check in at T4, you go through your first set of security at T4 (standard domestic security restriction apply), then you go to the domestic Qantas lounge at T4, and when it's time to board, you walk through the domestic air-side connection bridge...

Are you sure it departs from the "Perth International Terminal"? T1 is generally considered the "International Terminal" at PER, however, Qantas operates a small international annex via swing-gates at T3 (with check in at T4)? Just an FYI - because if you said "International Terminal" to a...

Qantas announcing they are going to make an announcement, about a project they have announced many times before... how very Qantas. 🤣

Some airlines have done-away with check in altogether, you become "checked-in" as soon as your ticket purchase is confirmed. I mean, even easyJet opens check-in 30 days before the flight, so the whole idea of "checking-in" is really redundant. Functionally, I imagine that removing the dual...

I imagine that all the rigmarole was put in place, by the board, to ensure that Qantas wasn't trading while insolvent - as Rex has suggest might have been "technically" happening during the pandemic. With better cash flow now, as more flights are booked, refunds may start to happen faster...

Ohhh, row 1 - you didn't get to fully experience those ZIM seats , man-spreaders eat your heart out - the tray table deploys with just one stabilisation pole, yoke-like it is centered between your legs!

IIRC, the battle for Guadalcanal was absolutely pivotal during WWII... :eek:

Cauliflower salad - 90min scheduled service. (Service: front - back, A - F)

Lounge exit zone still closed, but (as pointed out a few posts above) the lane to the left, out in general security, has a priority sign mounted over the top of it - and being Virgin, many of their guests have been educated to not use a priority line if they are not eligible... unlike the...

It's strange how Canada's aviation sector has mirrored aspects of Australia's over the last few decades. At the end of last century they had two relatively well matched domestic airlines Air Canada and Canadian Airlines. (Just like Australia had Qantas and Ansett.) Then around the turn of the...

The answer is in the question! Qantas deliberately does everything possible to make it difficult for its frequent flyers using Jetstar to access a lounge. (e.g. in MEL they moved JQ from T1 to T4, in SYD they closed the T2 QP, at OOL they close the lounge between QF flights...) PLUS I believe...

Plus the two Premium Security Lanes at T2 Kerbside Lounge access, are still M.I.A. Depends on the rules of "close contact" isolation - whole shifts of staff could possibly end up out of action at the same time!

Some Germans are "known" by other Europeans, for putting pool towels over prime positioned poolside resort deck chairs first thing in the morning - then not coming back until much later in the day to claim their prize! So from a European perspective, it's Germans having a bit of a tongue in...

As far as I can see, QAN is in absolute financial strife. They have sold off everything they could find buyers for, mortgaged what was left to the hilt: and still they can't pay their bills on time - how long are people waiting for legitimate refunds these days? I think investors wouldn't even...
