    Anyone flown PE on QF A380 Refurbed birds?

    Seats AB/JK are bassinet seats hence closer to the bulkhead/bassinet. Sat in 31K it was fine. The others seats behind are just no good if someone reclines into you...if they stay upright it is bearable

    Anyone flown PE on QF A380 Refurbed birds?

    Row 31 has much better legroom than the other so-called PE seats behind it...while A/K seats have storage bins;

    Cathay op-ups for OWE members

    This thread reminds me of a passenger who was was upgraded from aisle exit row Y to middle premium Y seat on an oversold long haul flight I was on. Once he saw he would be squashed in the middle of premium Y he requested his old Y exit row seat back (which had of course already been allocated to...

    Ask The Pilot

    During my last overnight flight I woke early to see an amazing full moon setting beneath the clouds. It got me thinking pilots must get too see some amazing acts from Mother Nature....please do tell :)

    Cathay op-ups for OWE members

    I've always had good op ups from CX as a OWE....the best was from J to F on a points redemption flight HKG-JFK last year. My main route of HKG<>MNL is 75% successful of upgrade at the gate as these flights are generally full and they cannot get enough Y seats...the sweet spot being premium Y...

    Another Points Plane?? - Final flight for one of our 'Queen of the Skies'

    Was there a timeline where the 747s were gone earlier? I didn't think they would be around until the end of 2020?

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    My partner and I upgraded from flex Y to J on QF20 a full 7 days before my flight - as P1 that has never happened to me so far out. All my upgrade requests that have been successful have been T-24hrs so much so that I thought this was P1 standard regardless of the published benefit.

    Another Points Plane?? - Final flight for one of our 'Queen of the Skies'

    I never had an issue with 767s...great domestic flights on them however one time SYD-HNL was a bit tough in Y.

    Another Points Plane?? - Final flight for one of our 'Queen of the Skies'

    Pay market rate for our 17yo plane...no thanks. I have been on several of these recently (QF27-QF28) and many seats are failing, IFE failing, AC not working etc. I love the 747 but these birds are long past their use-by date.

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    When these configs are changed to refurb it seems QF are not actually selling these extra seats in Y+ and J...so many of these flights are flying less than full over peak season

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    Feedback on seating? What class did you fly? Any comparison between the non-refurb 380s? The time remaining feature also hasn't worked on my last two QFi flights (747 and 330) wonder what the go is?

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    Welcome! Tough situation but I don't think there is anything that can be done. The top Y section is/was great and the new refurb certainly goes backwards in terms of economy being removed from the top deck. All you could try is getting exit row for no cost/extra legroom fee or at least some...

    Qantas Business Class customers bumped to economy in Tokyo

    This is the worst part of it. Sure - things happen when flights are overbooked, technical issues, etc. But to stuff your customers around, not give them what they paid for and then make them chase up some coughpy compensation at the other end is terrible.

    Qantas Business Class customers bumped to economy in Tokyo

    For this kind of treatment you are better off going straight to fair trading and organising a hearing in your states’ tribunal. Don’t waste your valuable time chasing what is rightfully yours from a corporation that has a lot to answer for when it comes to fair and equitable. Let’s be clear...

    It certainly won't be cost effective if the IFE system crashes for the next ten years across the fleet of a380s - lots of FF points as compensation!

    Platinum sitting in economy - Do the airlines pay extra attention to us?

    I have emails from the SST advising they have blocked the seat next to me as a convenience...they don't use the word 'shadow' but certainly there is a process. Also true. If you have a flight with light loadings great...but premium cabins these days seem to be full most year round on my routes...
