    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    QFs 787 has an inch more pitch than the A380 and with a newer model seat I think there's actually more usable space than that. The 787 width issue is very real and not an exclusively QF thing. Without a neighbour the 787 Y seat is quite comfortable, but when adults can't sit upright next to...

    Qantas A220 seating charge - is this a scam?

    I stand half corrected - the above blurb is for international, not yet an A220 service.

    Qantas A220 seating charge - is this a scam?

    Extra leg room seats don't appear to be a published P1 perk - preferred "upfront" seats are, but not extra legroom. Given QF has never really had cabin configurations that had any meaningful extra legroom seats except for safety or logistical reasons, it is not really something that has been...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    If people feel the need to do it, it is really their choice, but why would you want to expose your bare feet to all the piss, poo, and everything else that is being spread around on the floor, tables, aircraft walls etc. I'd be objecting to those individuals setting foot in my house. Just like...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    Unless you're deemed to be wearing "work boots" at the wrong time then you can't get in even though they obviously meet any safety requirement.

    Qantas cancelled my Air France classic award flight without refund or notification - what are my options?

    To QF or via QF? What's the difference between what is made available to QF vs what it chooses to make available to its FFs? It is probably interested in pushing potential pax to its own CDG flights...

    Article: Most of today's flights to Sydney are sold out due to Taylor Swift

    They used to run an A330 mel-syd and return at peak morning/evening return daily as well as one that seemed to provide a more international appropriate standard for connection to QFi Sydney departures in the afternoon from what I recall.

    Article: Most of today's flights to Sydney are sold out due to Taylor Swift

    I couldn't quite decide what the topic of this thread was, TS or flights? Anyway, it does show that perhaps Sydney's problem isn't too few slots but too small planes. Exactly what the A380 was conceived for and in this case what it was used for. I do wonder perhaps if slots utilisation might...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    The offer really has no value if you are not interested in it. It really suggests QF didn't know it's customer or it would have offered something you valued.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Low/no expectations and you shouldn't be disappointed. QF don't seem to over cater so don't expect to get what you hope for.

    Platinum shadow seat

    WP in both A and C and they still put someone in B. It's a fallacy I think. Agree B may be better than A or C but don't have any expectations.

    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    How QF chooses to treat the self-entitled behind closed doors is up to them, but once you're in their public venues, be it in a lounge or on a plane, then I'm afraid anyone in a class of service deserves to be offered exactly the same service levels and priority etc.

    Have QF really cut back classic domestic awards or is it just me?

    As LTG I was looking for a day trip to Sydney about a week out in mid November. I was offered the first flight of the day up and nothing back. Given we're talking about the prime bundle of rights flights consolidation corridor where there's nearly always more flights than people, I'm going for...

    Please! Doesn't QF J meals have is own thread so they don't have to see what they're missing?

    LHR-PER-SYD with a 737 for the connecting PER-SYD

    Since QF has now turned QF9/10 into a PER-LHR flight I'd definitely go with plan B. Even though there are A330s on PER-SYD there are no guarantees they will stick on any given flight.

    NBN Discussion

    We always used our (company) phones for tethering - saved wasting money on additional equipment and accounts. Unless you're streaming 4K you really don't need much bandwidth for movies, it's a fallacy pushed by NBN that mixes up bandwidth with data volume - that's why everyone has more data than...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    And you can't attribute the cost to wastage because by all counts you're unlikely to be able to have the meal of your choice due to a lack of stock on board
