    Qatar Airways bans Youtuber

    As he notes in the video, other major travel vloggers including Nonstop Dan and Noel Phillips don’t seek permission either, but they’ve not been banned from flying Qatar (nor have the crews on the flights they’ve reviewed been fired). That’s obviously just an excuse Qatar is using to ban him for...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF8 DFW-SYD Had the seared beef fillet for main, which was surprisingly tender and well cooked: Blueberry crumble for dessert, also very nice:

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Wheels up at 11.16am (exactly 60 minutes after pushback) on QF769 MEL-PER, which was scheduled for 9.30am. Congestion seems to be easing at MEL now.

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    I’d be interested in what your source is for this claim, as such defences are certainly not available under the legislation and I’m not aware of any cases where arguments along these lines have been successfully run.

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    I haven't seen what Geoffrey Thomas has written on this, but to be clear, Qantas' intention (i.e. whether the conduct was done on purpose or due to incompetence/poor systems) is completely irrelevant to this case from a legal perspective. The case is (largely) about whether Qantas engaged in...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Nope, Maggie Beer brand was recently rated the worst vanilla ice cream by Choice - dead last from everything you can get at the supermarket. They've trashed the brand - I recently received a cheese hamper from then and ended up throwing them out, they were that bad.

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    As far as the law is concerned intent is completely irrelevant to the question of liability. The only question in this case is whether Qantas’ representations were liable to mislead consumers. That said, if they are liable and it was a bureaucratic bungle (ie not premeditated) that would be a...

    Was lucky enough to visit twice this week and try a number of dishes (after being unlucky enough to have a flight cancelled). Menu was the same as posted above. All food was excellent, as was the service. Champagne being served was Taittinger Brut Reserve if I recall correctly. Salt & pepper...

    A380 Galley Refrigeration Fault

    Do we know that QF 380s have been retrofitted with this system? The article states that the new cooling system is being fitted on all new production A380s, presumably around the time the article was written in late 2012. So QF 380s wouldn’t have had it at the time of delivery. Someone above...
