    Row 4 - 737

    I have just tried this with our group booking on QF71 and it is showing ALL seats available, including those that have already been selected through QF MMB. Don't think I will risk the group being split up for a row 4 seat. The UL seat selection may stick, but you run the risk of being...

    Transparent Aeroplanes - Solar Panels ?

    Interesting concept. "think of the possibilities!!! - everyone gets a window seat, even those who dont want one" Especially interesting for the loo.

    Perth - Singapore

    QF71/72 is daily B737, QF77/78 is (at present) Mo Fr Su B737. The Airbucket has been scheduled during the summer school holidays, but has probably been withdrawn to promote more "East Coast Airways" flights into Asia. (flame suit now on!!)

    Interlining - Jetstar Asia to Qantas

    Depending on your arrival/departure times, 8 hours is plenty of time for a quick look around. You will have to either take your HL with you or store it at the airport. From memory there is a bag storage facility on the lower level of the terminal ( someone else on here may be able to tell you...

    Missing or lost baggage issues and experiences

    Nice result! They probably expected you to do what most would do, and put it down to experience and wear the cost. Down side is you probably won't be on their Ops upgrade list any time soon!

    QF93 fuel dump 29 June

    The media has already got itself wound up. Channel 7 Sydney had a live broadcast of the approach and landing from their news chopper with a banner reading "emergency landing" overlaid on the pictures. The landing looked text book. Taxi to the gate with F&R trailing for a while, then F&R left...

    Coke Zero -> Coca-Cola No Sugar

    LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) thinking, and a way to distance at least one product from the “new villain” (sugar – the “new FAT”). Now CCA will be able to save millions of dollars by not having the marketing gurus explain what the zero in the name represents. Next thing they will tell us is...

    SIN Arrival. How long to get through customs & immigration

    SQ224 (ex PER) arrival at T2 earlier this year had about 45 minutes wait. Not a huge number in arrivals, just seemed to be slow processing. Not many families with kids amongst the arrivals. QF71 (ex PER) arrival last Thursday into T1 took around 40 minutes. The response time from the fingerprint...

    50% more status credits - offer valid for bookings made in next 7 days

    is this offer limited to DOMESTIC AU travel only ??? Perhaps there is more than one promo running at the same time. I just checked my email and the subject line reads: "Fly to New York, get 50% more Status credits". The following blurb from my offer email says nothing about domestic only...

    QF PNG Visa failure and who is to blame?

    For my two cents worth, I check the website of the country I am going to, and, cross check with Smartraveller. And, if the two are in conflict, go with the intended destination's advice (and have a print out or screen dump of that advice).

    Qantas 787 Event

    For my 2 cents worth... Not keen on the new logo. Looks to "smudgey". QF loyalty are obviously involved in the design process, they have now enhanced the 'roo.

    New QF livery and logo

    Don't like the new typeface. Looks like someone has been playing in the MS word font library. I also notice QF have now been able to "enhance" the 'roo on the tail. Enhanced to the point of removing the front legs! Would have thought they might have launched their new plane with a Wanula...

    Take away food from lounge

    I’m guilty of taking a bottle or two of water – especially for the long hauls, and maybe a “pre-wrapped” snack in case of the disappearing cabin crew syndrome. Some years back on a “late night stroll” on a QFA380 to LHR, I watched a couple of “squirrels” unashamedly stack away into their...
