I would say probably not worth it. Winds are often strong in that direction and can make the flight quite short. I've had recent PER-MEL flights that took as little as 2.35 and 2.50. Really not enough time to sleep unless you skip dinner and go down immediately. No I don't think upgrading will...

You've got to be joking. I fail to see how this is Qantas' fault. They have no idea that someone who buys a seat is too big for it and they are quite entitled to sell every seat on a plane. So if boarding time comes and this problem presents itself its not really the airlines fault. They...

Also in BNE and LAX (not that Brisbane counts!!)

Yes I've found for PE its best to assume economy, or slightly better food served on proper crockery. Wines are off the business menu in my experience but less choice.

Be interesting to know if there were late addition "catering not assured" passengers who ate anyway.

Magda Szubanski was in J MEL-PER last week, boarded very late and sat at back of business in one of the new suites.

That may very well be the case but I would hazard a guess that you are involved in a fairly specialised aspect of the industry. This gravy train of very low skilled labour earning massive money to do routine jobs is coming to a fairly rapid end I suspect. At least in the widespread way of the...

Man there is going to be some sad folks whose quality of life is going to be shattered when this fifo circus comes crashing to an end.

I also tried the refit for the first time tonight and while it is of course a superb product for domestic business class, I can't see these wearing well at all. VH-EBA was already showing some fairly serious ageing in the business suites and the whole thing felt to me rather shoddily built. The...

Thanks Doctore, very kind of you!

Would there by any kind souls who can tell me the scheduled config of QF653 (Mel-Per) this Sunday (18th) evening? If it's scheduled to be a reconfig I may throw in an upgrade request....

Flew into OOL this evening and they have acquired a ridiculous monstrosity for disembarking sometime in the last month. Similar to the ramp bridges trialled in Tassie at one stage (not sure if they still have them). Plastered with Qantas logos, certainly better for elderly folks and will keep...

I first saw the new version about six weeks ago and have only had it twice since. Hasn't been rolled out extensively for some reason??

Taxi in off peak traffic is between 20-25. A little more in peak times obviously...

Anyone have any recent experience on how long Max bundle status credits are taking to post? I took some JQ flights 12 days ago and they still haven't posted. I've managed to avoid the cancer this year but in recent years found they would post within a few days normally so do I need to get onto...

Interestingly I've got a SYD-BKK return in December/January that up until a few days ago was showing new config both ways and now is showing old both ways. Perhaps they are defaulting to old to avoid disappointing people and will be a surprise bonus??

yeah Melburnian1 I'm at Perth waiting for a domestic flight and looking out from the QF club there is an A380 across at international on a remote stand that doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. This could become a major problem for them.

Just flew to Melbourne with Alan Joyce who was very chipper and in a Good mood. Didn't use priority boarding and stood at the end of a long line to board before taking his seat in row 2.

That is a big leap of faith then as it will massively change the economics of the operation. 10 or so hotel rooms a night and the need to get a catering operation in place won't come cheap! Perhaps they will expect BNE crew to operate and drive down?

Proof of at least one de-icer in mel this Afternoon. Bad photo from boarding gate sorry but the truck says "De-icing unit" on the side.
