I don't think anyone questioned that there were 2 services. More the substance of QF's second service.

Last time I checked Y seats were not 8 inches across. More like 2 inches wider which makes a huge difference. Whilst I've always coveted lounge access I ended up in the US with no lounge access once and ultimately realised a few 10s of dollars spent in commercial establishments was a better...

Given you're about to spend so long sitting on a plane, I'd be out of the airport in a flash for at least a couple of hours. I'd want to stretch the legs, the eye balls and breath some fresh air.

...Shows that people were not buying revenue fares at QF's inflated prices either so now they're having a "sale" that still has overpriced revenue fares. As QF chose to join the race to the bottom in terms of customer experience, they are left only competing on price which is also a race to the...

In the days before online check-in (yes it was a thing) when you didn't get checked in until you got to the airport, I ended up near the back of an A330 doing Mel-syd (yes that was also a thing). But got my aisle seat. I moaned to a flight attendant at being so far back down the plane and they...

That's what they used to do for Gold in Y

Don't you have anything better to do?

Was about to search Mel to London, and accidentally ended up with LCY as the destination. QF website says this route is only available with points. Can anyone explain this?

I'd got the impression (probably wrong) that when certain fare buckets were available then there would be C+ rewards available at the commensurate points equivalent. So you might expect there always to be C+ seats (albeit with a lofty points requirement) until only the pricier buckets were left.

That makes no sense. You've chosen to buy one place and not live in it. That your attempts to game the system aren't living up to expectations isn't anyone elses fault.

There's [gotta be one] 1717497000 Just like your pet QF base international flights from these same ports.

It depends how you define a group. I'm pretty sure they've boarded by row number for years for the A380 (eg at LHR) and I've certainly seen that enforced to fill up from the back of the plane. I know this is now domestic but the comment about SIN makes it relevant.

Or halfway through the series where it really just gets left hanging...along with the streaming subscription...

I think it's been row 9 for mere Golds for some time when booking.

Even taking just the UK. Sunrise = Syd-LHR, MEL-Lhr, and we already have Per-LHR, yet UK, population c.60m has much more appropriate airports for most of its population (Birmingham, Manchester, stanstead, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh. all better serve more of the Uk than LHR). Sunrise is a...

Don't disagree they they may prefer it, but not sure they'll pay a premium to save a couple of hours. If the technology makes the non stop option cheaper then sure the market will vote with its wallet but QFs current proposition is that people will pay a premium to get there 3-4 hours quicker. A...

No, you're not just on different aircraft and flight numbers. You're on a narrow body domestic service rather than a wide body international service. The difference should be chalk and cheese, though perhaps not when on QF.

I'm assuming you're a QF shareholder. As noted QF has halved it's seats to the UK, that's not an airline looking to serve the market but one looking to maximise its profits and the rest of the Australian customer-base be damned. Point to point (sunrise) is a niche, high yielding opportunity in...

No, because you're likely to start/end your trip on a 737 if going on QF9/10. Though actually the problem with Sydney Airways is that you're likely to start/end your trip on a 737 quite often anyway.

But it isn't because it can be on but the cabin crew are allowed to go about their business.
