I get that crew repositioning say MEL - SIN would absolutely require J to get sufficient rest but seriously is J really necessary for a flight to ADL where your only in the air for 50 - 60 minutes? Seats available up the front? go for your life but If you have customers in J then for a short...

Pre covid, while the Chinese carriers were not ideally the first choice for pax to Europe/USA etc what their capacity dumping and lower price point did was to keep the other carriers somewhat honest and on the competitive ball. Within the travel industry the China carriers have started getting...

I've arrived in SIN on a MH flight ( separate PNR ) gone to a transit desk and after a few minutes of tapping they had arranged for my baggage to be rerouted and boarding passes issued for a BA flight to Sydney I know in this case its QF to BA but I'd say give it a go, They are very friendly at...

Not QF but on a recent Etihad flight AUH - MEL in Y class I got chatting with the lady one seat away, turns out we had both paid for the seat next to us to be neighbour free A bit of cheeky double dipping by EY, I guess they hope you don't get chatting to your neighbour!

The airline is also assuming that passengers have access to Wi-Fi at some point to get online to check in Now yes in this day and age its fairly easy to and most airports have some form of free internet access but to assume that every passenger ( in particular international travellers /tourists...

I thought remote stands were actually cheaper then air bridges for airlines in terms of airport charges. I know at some European airports the low cost carriers such as Ryanair/EasyJet actively take/choose remote stands where they can as it's a cost benefit over an airbridge gate. If this is...

Correct , and even if we had Ryanair / Easyjet down here it wouldn't make any difference, until airlines operating in the Australian market become legally accountable for schedule changes/cancellations they can do what they want with little to no consequences.

Back in the 90's when Aerolineas Argentinas flew the Boeing 747 200 between Buenos Aires and Auckland the return flight used to have to land at the tiny Rio Gallegos Airport towards the bottom of South America to fuel up before attempting the polar route across to New Zealand It was then...

I actually quite enjoy arriving in Hobart and using the stairs (yes I know the weather can be horrible) but in terms of the "experience" they have a point about leaving the aircraft and being able to take your first breath of fresh Tasmanian air and feel like you have arrived somewhere...

I would see the holding fee as just that, a service fee for Qantas allowing you to hold and not pay straight away so I would expect the fee conditions to be separate to the fare conditions.. but that's just me!

Yikes that will teach me! 1. MEL 2. AKL 3. ADL 4. BNE 5. CHC 6. SYD 7. OOL 8. NAN 9. HBA 10. WLG

I'm also A-ok with the gate security at SIN I've always found it so quick that I sometimes wonder if they bothered to plug the X-ray machines in and are just pretending ;-) As with everything else in Singapore its fast efficient and I don't give it a second thought I agree with the point...

Another hands up for someone who has never had a problem with JQ Crew have always friendly and efficient, Hard product fine for what it is Appreciate I'm only one flight away from disaster but when you choose a low cost carrier you gets what you pay for and I adjust my expectations accordingly

Ultimately the terms and conditions of the hotel booking are the terms and conditions, The Hotel is not responsible for what Qantas does and vice versa That being said in small places like this, airline cancellations and schedule changes are usually well known around the island , its...

Perhaps it was what happened before he boarded? I have no idea but possibly the lounge / ground crew had given the cabin crew a heads up that his alcohol consumption or behaviour before the flight required some extra monitoring while in flight?

Nope not really, Emirates ex AU & NZ 1% economy class / 2% business class

I always if possible take a walk to the galley to ask for something as A/ I don't expect the crew to be at my beck and call and B/ I like the walk and leg stretch! I recall one Singapore Airlines flight where a crew member was horrified that I hadn't used the call button, weather because I...

While a plane cough view is great for me its more If I'm about to, or just been flying in a small claustrophobic tin can for up to 15 hours, being in a lounge with windows and a decent view gives a feeling of much needed light and space

Yep working for a TMC i can tell you those $26,000 seats are being snapped up QF has no need to discount trans pacific at the moment.
