Yeah I'd love a flight that would leave after 6PM, but agreed the arrival time into SIN would be poor. I'd love to be able to have a work day in SYD then leave for SIN at the end of the day. The 4:20PM departure of QF1 is still just a bit too early to be able to do that. Still lose too much of a...

I think QF just want to hold on until a350 and more 787s show up. The a380 “can” make a load of money if they are filling the seats and utilisation is high (like now). But as demand starts to fall they start costing the airline a lot. After the last couple of weeks, I’d be very worried having...

QF12 Departing LAX 09/05 cancelled (delayed then returned to gate due to aircraft issues) QF12 Departing LAX 10/05 cancelled QF18 operating a380 service from LAX 10/05 QF11 Departing SYD 11/05 cancelled

QF12 10/05 service has been cancelled and they are running it as QF18 instead. Which appears to be VH-OQJ, I can't see any others anywhere near LAX now. Why would they cancel QF12 and run exactly the same service with same departure time as QF18? Would it be to not allow any sales on it? I...

I assume so, even just for optics. It would look mighty silly if they acquired extra a380s after just scrapping 2 perfectly good ones. Also it wouldn’t be without significant investment, they would likely have to refit the cabin and paint the aircraft which would have to wait in line behind...

You got lucky, QF12 has been delayed again. My stranded family members who are like joe public that you refer to aren’t happy. QF wouldn’t even give them their bags back (transferred from inbound flight).

Have family members on the same flight affected by the delay. We were also affected by a380 delays coming in causing us to miss an onward connection. This means both ways for my family members they have had an overnight stop in LAX at the courtesy of QF. I'm not travelling with them on the...

I had almost the opposite situation. I was trying to book a hotel direct (in Australia) and checked some other booking sites too and the hotel is unavailable almost everywhere for my dates but on Qantas Hotels it is available. Works well because the hotels only take Visa/ Mastercard direct but I...

QF12 Departing LAX at 23:45 9/05 has been delayed 11 hours, now scheduled at 11:00 10/05. With my limited knowledge it appears VH-OQD and VH-OQH are currently in LAX. VH-OQD last activity was 07/05 but OQH arrived only 1 hour so should be able to turn around on schedule or with only minimal...

Looks like I will be calling during Hobart call centre hours to request tomorrow

Forgive me, I am still fairly new to WP status. Something just occurred to me today, can we request the release of First class reward seats? I don't think I have seen that mentioned here. If so has anyone ever been successful for first on QF1/ QF2? I imagine it would be incredibly rare if even...

I have seen a few reports of these recently. Both on this forum and in the FB groups. Appears QF are occasionally doing "complimentary upgrades" even to WP (not just P1). Did your BP have a message on it saying complimentary? I've seen photos of BP with messages such as complimentary or happy...

I am not so sure QF would be interested in buying the NF? I can't see there is a lot of opportunity for QF in the purchase, unless they got some really good deal. While not good for the inter island flights, I feel like QF would probably just prefer NF to go under and they commence their own...

Last week I was on QF296 in Y (BKK >SYD Finnair Service) which is an overnight service, departed around 6PM with 6AM arrival. The cabin lights were left on all night. After departure I figured it was due to the meal service and eventually they would be dimmed, I think they were dimmed slightly...

Agreed. Personally the second worse offender was the VA Mt Panorama one for the 777, A330. It wasn’t as bad as this and didn’t go completely off script, it was just also fairly long and drawn out, I remember getting really bored and sick of that too. My absolute favourite was VX (Virgin...

This safety video annoyed me the first time I watched it, and after completing at least 12 flights with the video (possibly more, I can't exactly remember when it came out) I absolutely can't stand it now. I've usually at least paid half attention to the safety demonstration / videos previously...

Same, the best part about this was the roaming as I make frequent international trips (at least a few days a month) being able to have some data and use my phone without the extra cost was great. Once I get kicked off the plan looks like I will have to seek an alternative.

Interesting. Due to the late arrival into LAX on QF11, we missed the connecting flight and QF has put us in a hotel tonight and rebooked on a DL flight tomorrow. Looks like I will have to submit an ORC for the original points and status credits due. Obviously these things happen with air...

Considering how much of their business, especially when it comes to domestic travel is run on the app now. Turning off the app would have caused a total melt down of operations. QF backed themselves into a corner on this one. Which when they removed check in kiosks, counters and staff we all...

So it appears QF’s most recent update was incorrect:
