I've lost the reference but another site I came across suggested that between maintenance and refurbs active QF A380s are few in number at the moment.

Whilst we do have a generator too I just bought a $99 Ryobi one+ inverter as a backup power option. Happily runs a standard lamp and/or Internet boxes for many hours without the noise.

My issue is what's the lock back for the provider? They used to charge the extra and claim the rebate, what's the extra that's in it for them in not just charging their extra to you and claiming the Medicare fee directly? Or can't they do that any more? I agree I'm happy to take the points but...

There is an element of sense in that but that is based on the assumption that simply matching/copying/ just beating the competition is all that is required. What they actually need is a QF executive/ board that can think independently and set is own standard for service delivery that can satisfy...

The reviewer noted the aircraft had been sitting in Sydney for many hours. It wouldn't take much to have someone vacuum seats and wipe down surfaces during such down time - ready for the next flight. QFs A380 toilets were encrusted in dust that had absorbed who knows what a decade ago. This is...

I suspect that's a little to much an altruistic interpretation. Some percentage may have that thought, but I suspect most simply don't feel the urge to recline on the short day time flight.

It won't make any difference. The recline of your own seat will increase the space to your own tray table but the position of your tray table is constant irrespective of what the person in front does.

They did have to move from their originally selected seat to get the neighbour free seat.

I don't disagree but it just goes to reinforce that it is a cough product. I've selected a seat, I get offered to be "neighbour free". I don't expect to move. I'd actually like the product that asked me to choose a neighbour free seat at booking time and for it to guaranteed. Why do QF (and...

Or you have one of the traditional navigation devices that have their own offline maps onboard.

It seems to be a Qantas J thing. I don't know why they think anyone wants dinner to take so long, no matter how long the flight. I assumed perhaps they have to wait for Neil's weeds to grow before they can be served. It takes so long I've more than once asked if they've forgotten my meal.

We have retained "old" Optus plans because they are not rate limited and still have more data than we use. I did a speed test on 5G the other day and got >600Mbps. However I'm now switching to Boost to give us the diversity (Mrs D will stay on Optus) but it still offers a rate cap off 150Mbps...

Boost is on the full Telstra network and offers low volume long expiry (12month) prepaid options.

You must mean WP - "World Pizza".

I don't get the affectation. As "World Platinum" isn't a QF status you may be waiting a long time.

Talking cross purposes here. QF and EK have a partnership. You can look at QF website for reward flights on EK. Ultimately you end up spending QF points but have an EK flight number in your booking which is pretty immaterial.

Yes. I just bought the $35 for 50GB to test it because last time I tried the Telstra network it turned out Optus had better coverage /network speed on offer in this area. Telstra had a seriously rate limited 4G offering compared to Optus at that time.

No idea. Bought a $35 prepaid plan.

They currently say "parts of the Telstra network" to paraphrase - AFAIK Boost is the only virtual operator with access to the full Telstra network/coverage at the moment. My 24 hour old Boost service certainly has 5G connectivity.

Well I did actually have to recharge it once I'd bought it 😉 but that spoils the story. I'm switching to Boost but Mrs D will keep her Optus (prepaid) service (so we have that diversity). But Mrs D. now has an activated Boost Sim with no recharge on it as well, and if the time comes to use it...
