    King Charles Visit 2024

    lets hope this Royal visit is more auspicious than the first (by Prince Alfred) in 1867. If you have ever wondered why RPA is called that, it was to try and recover from the disastrous security failings of that first visit.

    Any likelihood of Qantas returning to Frankfurt?

    If you have arrived at an A gate, and then have to find your way to a C gate for your next flight, you will soon get the drift of it being a long series of shopping malls. FRA is good and central, but as others have said does not have the draw of Paris or Rome. I can't see BER ever being the...

    Qantas/Australia Post jet stuck at HBA?

    Totally correct, there is a lot more than "one thing wrong" with HBA QF Lounge. :D

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Last year I couldn't get a J (U) release so I tried W (Z) and got 2 seats. I then put in a request for upgrade and as this was 5 months out left it at that. Then at around T-72 I got the upgrade approved message, so finished up right where I originally hoped.

    Article: How I Make Qantas Reward Availability Work for Me

    I can't help but feel that some posters on this article have really missed the point. I thought Matt's article was based on a simple premise - that there are ways to use your QF points to your advantage. We could have a thread about which is the best FF program, and we could be defending QF (the...

    Its a shame that we can't check the seats on EF, but they seem to have 2 variations of A320neo, one with 31 rows, and this one with 30: https://www.aerolopa.com/tr-320 If its an older A320, then who knows. But a quick sqizz at online reviews is likely your best bet. with some showing a curtain...

    I just picked a random date and it was the Neo for TR605. If you do a search on Youtube there are a few trip reports that show the dividers in various Scoot A320 flights.

    Scams like these

    Had yet another there call from "the Visa and MasterCard security team" today. Just calling them thieves and liars doesn't seem to adequately express my contempt.

    The view from my "office"

    The various state and LG authorities are caught between cutting down more trees to create better fire breaks or singeing them while burning off the scrub. Our LG council wants to "better connect" the trees in the urban landscape with the bush on our edges. Doubt they will do a proper risk...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    I just don't see that QF A380 reliability is all that different to pre-Covid, where the QF delays/cancellations thread delivered regular issues for our consumption. And I don't find their service much worse than pre-Covid, where it was somewhere between adequate and poor on most of my trips in 5...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    Not sure I understand the allusion to the Titanic, but there is no doubt that QF seems to live in a perpetually over-committed state.

    How Early Do you Book a Cruise?

    We usually book 15-18 months ahead, although it hasn't helped. The last 2 were cancelled, first one for Covid and the second one for war. We are now a little gun shy and have been putting off our next attempt (probably 2026) until Q1/2 next year to see what the new year brings.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    That is rubbish as I have had 2 seats on QF291/292 released as WP over the last 12 months, with my next trip being 30/11 on QF292.
