    Passenger Numbers - Qantas SYD/LAX up or down in 2024

    Are the passenger numbers up or down with Qantas SYD/LAX so far in 2024 ? Are the A380s flying at capacity of less ? A friend recently flew and informed me that they thought the cabin (J) was at only around 60-70% capacity in both directions.

    Qantas Travel Money changing to Qantas Pay - May 2024

    My choice would be to pay the bill as presented and have a few $US in notes to hand to the server. Not sure if this may result in a back lash, but I shall see on my up coming US visit

    Qantas Travel Money changing to Qantas Pay - May 2024

    Thank you for your advice. Since I will only be in the US for a week, I am thinking of taking only cash & using Amex just for hotels and where I can't use cash. . Although as far as security goes, that is going to be a worry carrying cash I suppose. Not sure what you mean by 28 MC or Coles MC ...

    Qantas Travel Money changing to Qantas Pay - May 2024

    I called up QF Money and asked could this new card be placed into my Apple Pay App. The current one can't. The short answer was NO. I had intended to load $US to my new QF Money card or whatever name is going to be used I am hoping that by loading the new card with $US and paying with $A for...

    QF11 Changes

    Thank you. You've explained it quite well. My anxiety is really a loathing of waiting at airports between connections. More often than not, the waiting time on a lay over is extended due to one reason or another. Fingers crossed the current situation, what ever the cause is over by July.

    QF11 Changes

    How long before QF 11 returns to its normal scheduled departure from SYD to LAX .ie 1735 I wonder ? I have QF 11 booked for July 3 and if it is still departing at 1100 on that date, I hope Qantas informs me as I have connections at the other end that will cost me $$$ to change. I booked my US...

    Qantas Schedule more Evening Departures to North America

    I've been following the daily departure time trend of QF 11 (SYD/LAX) and rarely do I see that the flights leave on time. Today, Sunday April 14, the flight has been delayed 3 hours !! Over the past week, the closest to departure time (ie 1735 hours) has been just 40 minutes late departing...

    Qantas Schedule more Evening Departures to North America

    Evening departures suit me. Although arrival into LAX ,if the flight is late, can be worrisome after dark, if you are looking for car rental or checking into a hotel . I prefer night departures where ever I fly OS as I can sleep for at least four to six hours after a few drinks. Does Qantas...

    BNE to LAX July -

    I need to get to LAX from BNE, as cheaply as possible on the first or second of July to an engagement. I would only be there for a few days , hopefully returning on or about July 7 or 8. I know this is the US Summer and 4th July. Preferably direct or one brief lay over in AKL, or HNL if I can...

    LATAM status match $80USD

    Thanks, I wasn't expecting a tuck in and bed time story from the crew though, and simply to be able to lie flat will help immensely. I've travelled QF on short haul in J before within Australia, but mostly the aircraft just have wide seats, that are more like premium ECY which really are not...

    LATAM status match $80USD

    As a QF FF Silver, I am considering a LATAM flight to AKL from SYD shortly. Mainly because I can lie flat in Business class, ( I have a bad back) and the times fit my schedule. So despite it being only around a 4 hour flight will I be able to ask for the bed to be made for me to lie down ? BTW...

    Would you pay to fly F?

    With a few dollars that I won at a casino a few weeks ago at a Christmas party, a friend suggested that instead of flying Business Class to the UK as I had intended next May, I should use the windfall to enjoy a First Class ticket instead. Never having been one to splash out, although I must say...

    QF Lounge access flying into PER on CX J; out on QF Dom Y [Denied despite oneworld rules]

    I was concerned that arriving on QF 568 in Business into SYD, from PER with a an ongoing flight on Qantas Link I maybe denied entry, but there was no problem and the important thing is to retain your boarding pass after leaving PER to present to the SYD lounge. So I can confirm that last week I...

    QF Lounge access flying into PER on CX J; out on QF Dom Y [Denied despite oneworld rules]

    The pettiness that I have experienced chatting with a Qantas bod over this has driven me nuts. Despite sending this BOT screen shots, they still are saying it has never happened. If Qantas are cost cutting, this is a pretty drastic step considering the few people it would have at that time of...

    QF Lounge access flying into PER on CX J; out on QF Dom Y [Denied despite oneworld rules]

    It seems that Qantas deny that there has ever been any access to PER/SYD Business class Pax on QF 568 arriving into SYD. In an online chat session with Qantas over a period of several hours today, despite showing them these screen shots, the operator is still saying no entry. Qantas, we have a...

    QF Lounge access flying into PER on CX J; out on QF Dom Y [Denied despite oneworld rules]

    Thank you, that is good to know. My guess is that it depends on the individual staff member who is on duty at the time by the look of it.
