    Warning dont use Qantas Travel Money!

    Please don't make excuses for a terrible product. Rates are terrible, service is terrible and assisting travellers is the last thing QF were thinking of when launching this product.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Until QF gets a CEO with core customer service focus nothing will change. AJ is an OPEX man and his focus is the bottom line...customer experience can be expensive and the first thing to go when fuel prices go up (or down).

    Qantas First Lounge First World Issue + First Post

    This would all go away if QF upgraded the sad excuse of a lounge known as International Business in both MEL and SYD - currently an embarrassment. It really is bogan hell especially around school holidays and peak seasons, kids running around everywhere, slop food splashed about, dirty carpets...

    ANA, and how they helped me revisit QF J..

    You certainly experienced the worst QF has to offer; middle J seat on the oldest aircraft in the fleet. Sometimes great crew can make the experience better. Regardless I always tell family and friends when looking at QF to know what aircraft they will be flying before purchasing premium cabin...

    Luxury Escapes - The People You Don't Meet

    I am sure you can expand this to travel in general. Some fellow travellers are happy to chat while others will always be reserved. Many various reasons for this but no need to fuss over it. I will always be friendly with a good morning or how are you and the rest just flows as the other party...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    The airline industry is a competitive industry yes? OTP is a competitive edge. Edit: As mentioned by jb747; https://www.smh.com.au/national/qantas-a380-grounded-after-door-almost-ripped-off-at-sydney-airport-20191109-p5391o.html

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Other major airlines seem to think so. I've never had any major airline cancel a flight on me at their home hub and tell me to come back another day (unless major weather issue) - happened to me with QF at least three times in the last 24 months! CX@HKG swap out aircraft all the time when...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Certainly AJ can be blamed - not a single back up aircraft available in a major home hub? Mistakes happen, aircraft break down etc

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    QF7 for tomorrow has been cancelled - A380 has gone tech. It was a full flight along with my flight on Sunday to DFW almost full as well....not sure how QF will get out of this one - AJ keep running the fleet tight as can be - great customer experience even from major hub SYD.

    Beware Melbourne Taxis skimming credit cards

    When using Apple Pay each transaction is encrypted and your actual card details are never transmitted only a random transaction ID which changes with each transaction. I suggest that a more general NFC device is being used to copy card data but don't confuse this with Apple Pay. Chip and PIN is...

    HKG Qantas Crew Not Understanding How Premium Boarding Lane Works

    I've never had an issue in HKG...lines and status are clearly labelled along with info on your BP.

    EY & QR J to Europe from $2,723 ex MNL

    Great info here! Unfortunately QF19/20 has terrible availability SYD-MNL each year around Xmas time with Y pricing now $1200 each way. I flew QR in J for the first time earlier in the year ex-MNL-MAD. I got the 777 with very old J class MNL-DOH and then the 787 DOH-MAD which was also...

    Project Sunrise: A350 or 777X?

    Some video from the flight by Sunrise; https://7news.com.au/sunrise/on-the-show/kochie-takes-us-on-board-qantas-history-making-new-york-to-sydney-flight-c-513960?utm_campaign=share-icons&utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&tid=1571915949802

    Is Alan Joyce "worth it?"

    As someone who flies internationally quite a bit it is frustrating when one delay on a completely seperate route to mine cascades through the entire network - this is due to maximum utilisation of each aircraft leaving no room for error. A number of times I’ve been stuck in SYD when an...

    Qantas Sunrise special event tonight

    Again I ask - who are the people begging for these non stop 17+ hour flights? AJ keeps on gloating how QF will be solving this 'problem' of the stop over...I certainly never had an issue with a stop over (I like). It seems AJ is determined to solve this 'problem' that no one has asked to be...

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    He was in the First / P1 section with me and had a First host fussing over him...must be torture.
