    Tokyo Haneda slot - 2025

    Qantas has not said one way or another on this matter. ET put it in their article as well but technically this is speculation unless someone has a source leak from Qantas. (And none of the articles mention talking to Qantas about it). There's arguments both for and against that both make sense...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - 2025

    They can't turn around the plane in SYD to depart in time though which is the problem.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - 2025

    I'll provide an example as to why its annoying for the daytime HND flight. Because of the overnight stay at airport requirement, I basically have to check out, head to the airport a day early and do everything as I would for the evening departure flight, but instead of getting on a plane, I head...

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Just curious at T-16 EF shows J9 C9 D9 I8 Would that generally imply they've upgraded most of the requests or are they yet to process them?

    Tokyo Haneda slot - 2025

    In their application for the slot, they outlined their proposed schedule which is HND for all 3 cities. NRT is likely to be dropped especially with a330s starting to hit the shop for retrofitting this year. At least that's how i would see it. It would be quite strange to have 3 HND flights from...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - 2025

    You have to remember that all of the current flights atm have had a schedule change which meant free option for customers to move onto other flights, whether that being the evening departure flight or direct to BNE/MEL from NRT. Part of the reason the daytime flight isnt liked as much on the...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Any of them. They've all more or less switched to no lounge access on dom flights for status pax unless you have cc with the perk. Then at the same time, the lounges are overrun because of how many people have the cc's

    How long will QF use DSC promos - Your guess?

    I disagree on that second part. You can be flying Y 60+ times a year and without DSC never hit platinum. Gold, but not necessarily platinum (as you could be on non earning partners for example). Thats where having DSC really helps you out to achieve it without a status run.

    Proposed Social Media ban for under-16 kids

    So to answer this, gaming in China is excessively strictly controlled by the government for under 18 year olds. There suddenly was an increase in grannies playing games.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    You can ticket any routing, whether it qualifies as OWA is a different story.

    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    Im surprised they didn't show you on your way in, last time I checked in at the OWE check in desk (not flying F), they pulled out a map to show me the location of the F lounge.

    Proposed Social Media ban for under-16 kids

    Rather than social media bans, as with all other technology related kids issues, education is the only real way forward. The more you "ban" something for kids, the more likely they'll find a way to circumvent it and check it out.

    How long will QF use DSC promos - Your guess?

    I suspect for quite a while. They've most certainly studied the effects of DSC and how much it affects their forward bookings. Whether it remains semi predictable might be a different story. Perhaps it becomes targeted in the future instead.

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    I think we're going a bit too off topic here. We get the broad point QF is making which whilst they themselves are guilty of, is still a valid point. Basically the main concerns here and reflected in the submissions is the exclusivity of QR, and the vague nature of wetlease planes with no...

    Autumn colours in Japan + coughtails by the pool in Fiji

    As confusing as it may seem, the JRs are all separate companies and 4 are separately listed entities on thr exchange. So there's always some things that don't quite translate across the group and also why things can sometimes feel a bit disjointed.

    AccorPlus China

    Currency conversions and also different target audiences. Also double check about what taxes are charged (aka compare the final price not the displayed price when searching).

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Simple way to consider is - if you earnt 350k for PC+, you'll roll over 100 at your anniversary. If your progress bar hasn't hit 350k regardless of your current status - no dice. This would be the biggest incentive for people to hit 350k each year. Otherwise you can just hit 350k every other...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Is it possible to book a married segment CR flight (non QF) then cancel the first leg? In this case MH - JL (KUL - SIN - HND) but on its own SIN - HND doesn't show up.
