    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    I think it's been row 9 for mere Golds for some time when booking.

    QF9 / QF10 Perth

    Even taking just the UK. Sunrise = Syd-LHR, MEL-Lhr, and we already have Per-LHR, yet UK, population c.60m has much more appropriate airports for most of its population (Birmingham, Manchester, stanstead, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh. all better serve more of the Uk than LHR). Sunrise is a...

    QF9 / QF10 Perth

    Don't disagree they they may prefer it, but not sure they'll pay a premium to save a couple of hours. If the technology makes the non stop option cheaper then sure the market will vote with its wallet but QFs current proposition is that people will pay a premium to get there 3-4 hours quicker. A...

    QF9 / QF10 Perth

    No, you're not just on different aircraft and flight numbers. You're on a narrow body domestic service rather than a wide body international service. The difference should be chalk and cheese, though perhaps not when on QF.

    QF9 / QF10 Perth

    I'm assuming you're a QF shareholder. As noted QF has halved it's seats to the UK, that's not an airline looking to serve the market but one looking to maximise its profits and the rest of the Australian customer-base be damned. Point to point (sunrise) is a niche, high yielding opportunity in...

    QF9 / QF10 Perth

    No, because you're likely to start/end your trip on a 737 if going on QF9/10. Though actually the problem with Sydney Airways is that you're likely to start/end your trip on a 737 quite often anyway.

    Op-ed: Airlines Must Take the Seatbelt Sign More Seriously

    But it isn't because it can be on but the cabin crew are allowed to go about their business.

    Op-ed: Airlines Must Take the Seatbelt Sign More Seriously

    And when it gets used for crowd control during meal times that also extends the unnecessary amount of "on" time.

    Is it time for the ACCC to lose its power to veto international JVs?

    Isn't the primary purpose of JVs for QF so that it can put its flight numbers on other carrier's planes, thus avoiding growing it's business, employing Australians or doing anything for the national interest. Where it does retain a route it has reduced competition for a more limited resource and...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Aside from the question of time of day, the 3 "options" - soup, salad, pizza, would together make an adequate meal. If you're after a snack one would be fine, but these are certainly not "meals" in isolation.

    What cheeses me off

    Possibly by design. As drivers often don't let buses pull out (which appears to be a road rule in Victoria), if they block the lane they don't get impeded from pulling out without an extended wait so can continue on their way with minimal delay.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Price. It's dirt cheap at the moment, or more charitably it is an in season fresh vegetables, locally grown etc. etc.

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    Mel-syd using the QF app or iView as there was something I'd been watching. When iview failed I tried QF, no better, no internet as it turned out. With no airline entertainment I simply expect the sales pitch to deliver what it claims. I don't think that's too much to ask.

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    My experience for domestic wifi is slow or non functional, which when it is the sole entertainment proposition is a fail in my book.

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    Exactly, so 83.3% didn't fly Qantas. My point was simply that the And 83% chose a brand other than QANTAS. Just saying, never really been "everyone" behind them.

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    Really? Only a small minority of Australians fly QFi, and realistically the duopoly domestically gives people little actual choice.

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    Why? They are over priced, under deliver, and have a reputation they need to change. They just admitted to various counts of wrong doing wrt their customers and service delivery. They need to earn any support they may hope for.

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    Perhaps not, but doesn't this acknowledgement by QANTAS and the the position of the ACCC already undermine the whole Bundle of Rights proposition. Both parties seem to agree that the commitment was for a particular flight, not just to get you from A to B at about the right time, or there would...

    How to go to UK pre Olympics?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything in terms of OW options that might do late releases (for example). The points are there to be used hence the question, but I'm inclined to think it isn't an earning avenue to continue pursuing hence the looking for...
