    Jetstar security breach - MEL

    I've never understood how they police this? Given there is no need to put in a DOB or show identity at check in on domestic services how is "Barry Smith" who gets banned for life identified and stopped in the system over all the other "Barry Smith's" flying.

    QR SC crediting delay

    Just hold off Rooflyer. Mine eventually posted just after 14 days on the initial flights of the journey. Ironically the return flights posted almost immediately.

    Posting of Qatar flights to activity statement

    To bring up an old topic, has anyone got recent experience of how long Qatar flights take to post to QFF if paid? I flew over a week ago in J (R class so applicable) HKG-DOH-FRA and nothing is showing yet for either flight. Do I need to call QF?

    Double Status Credits (book by 5/2/18, fly 12/2/18 to 20/1/19)

    Christ QF must be having a slow month. Weeks after the double status promo and then last weeks double points promo I awake this morning to receive a targeted offer of bonus 50% status credits on flights booked within the next week for travel up until June 30.

    Qantas standards slipping or just bad luck?

    Hot drinks aren't loaded on the trolley for full meal flights but if you ask it's a very rare crew that won't get you one once the meal service is over.

    QF is moving to T8 at JFK on 03/04/2018

    I'll be sad if this happens. As much of a third world dump as terminal 7 is I actually find it's compact size to be a real plus on the whole with security and when bad weather causes huge log jams with gates at the bigger terminals.

    Qantas Turboprop Interior Refresh

    The bigger question is what the is longer term plan for these birds? Some of the 200s and 300s are already over 20 years old and there is really no aircraft currently on sale to replace them.

    US government shutdown

    Here is an interesting dilemma: I’m in NYC currently and am due to go down to DC on Sunday for four days. The sole reason for this trip was to visit attractions which will now be closed thanks to this epic failure in Congress. Travel insurance experts: what chance do you think I have of...

    QR: ARN xDOH - Australia J ~A$3100

    Some good QR specials ex HKG at the moment. I picked up HKG-DOH-FRA for 2980 return in J over peak easter. All legs on the 777 sadly but not a bad option still.

    Flying multi city Nov /Dec

    You can - book through the website as multi-city. It is allowed as a "stop over" so you have to actually use QF11 to get to NYC. I've just tried to do it and there does seem to be a glitch in the system. QF11 shows on the 30th but only as available in premium economy. If I was a betting man I...

    New status retain outreach?

    So my anniversary is Jan 31. I woke today to the following email. Anyone else seen this? When they were offering 120 000 points in exchange for retain I thought they were spelling that out in the email? Does this mean I would be able to negotiate something else or even a freebie? The annoying...

    Avoiding the Qantas 787

    Well i've had two flights on her now in J and PE. J has plenty said about it. PE seats are narrower than those on the 747/380. Very comfortable though. I chose a window seat and even without the person infront reclining there is no way I could get out into the aisle without asking the...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Truly appalling food on my 717 breakfast MEL-HBA service on Monday. Smoked salmon with poaches eggs looked like it had sat in the california desert for about a month it was so dry and the other option was a turkey, brie and cranberry toasted sandwich. I went for that and all you could taste was...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Anyone see this piece from AusBT's David Flynn on executivestyle.com.au? And what's beyond Platinum One? Right now, that's as high as you go. But don't rule out another stratospheric loyalty tier. At the launch of the Qantas Premier credit card earlier this year, Qantas Loyalty CEO Lesley...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Although perhaps not that small. I kept hearing there are about 6000 P1's. If the P1 team is only a handful of staff then it would be literally impossible to check people's schedule's before sending invites. Certainly not a great look though.

    Qantas announces A380 refurbishments

    I've been desperately hoping all day that the "second quarter of 2019" was a typo and they actually mean second quarter 18. Seems unbelievable that they think it ok for that business product to remain untouched for almost another two years before the process even begins!

    Strange reasons for flight delays

    I've had similar before a MEL-PER flight but a whole flock of sparrows! The captain was asking for assistance trying to catch one on the loose in business. He said something like "well this is a first for me in 30 years..." and half way across the country he announced they'd just discovered...
