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

    QF did have the precedent of the ex-MH (iirc) "Ugly Sisters" 744's so certainly coukd be a thing. Unsure how the 787 market is. I presume few and far between for "sloppy seconds"

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

    Like 2nd hand ac? The Bamboo's were taken iirc. Certainly no slots for new builds before then I am sure.

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

    4 more 789 from FY2027. So at least three years away.

    Tier demotions - how quickly are they applied?

    I agree with the above, plus if you are able to do OLCI 24h prior with EK then you would absolutely be covered. Tbh though, there should be no issue, as the status level won't downgrade for a few days (the SC level will reset to zero at midnight AEST though, but starltus will still hold for a...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    AKL is 24/7. I've talked to agents there when it's been in the wee hours locally

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    I thought that's where you were going... sorry... AA reward flights won't earn SC under PC (Unless an error). Only QF operated/flight number rewards are eligible. I feel bad like dashing all your dreams/plans!

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Sorry @RSD, I think you've fallen for the old trap of when First isn't First. Bar certain 3 class flights like transcons, all AA flights are J in the front cabin. They book into JCDRI and earn as Business, not First, despite what AA call the domestuc two class front cabin. Routes like DFW-PHX...

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    Would they finish it iff with "Gidday" too? Still doing manuals on 737s - at least all I've been on - so I've not seen the new vid in months.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes.

    No, I have a bunch of flights with "Change" available. One thay llt is greyed out, but that isvan Amex booking so makes perfect sense.

    Helsinki to Tallinn reward seats

    That's interesting! A but the opposite of the situation in Poland, where W's are often pronounced with a W sound! I think that part comes from German. But I digress...

    Recent SYD-MEL fly-ahead/standby experiences?

    Glad lounge angel helped. You may have gotten more joy at T1 transfer check in rather than the dom check in. Those agents seem to have more lattitude in this dept and possibly would have done it there as they deal with that stuff a lot.

    I just confused QF and SIN airport staff

    I know I broke a couple in MEL a few months ago. Things had an error scanning and just seized up and seemed they they would need a case of turning it off and on again. Never had that happen with the earloer versions.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Right yes, sorry. Mea culpa. I am used to 1A/K 😇 So yeah.. footwells :)

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Huh? Row 2 is not a bulkhead. Assume you mean row 1. The advantage is wider footwells for feet for more comfy sleep. Also there is a small tray under the monitor that can be yseful for small items. Possibly some galley noise though far more work happens in the galley area closer to row row 7...

    I just confused QF and SIN airport staff

    I did not think 3K would interline tbh. Useful to know. Understandable confusion (except the QF292 immi officer thing) but yeah I can see the other issues. Did you see if QF app tracked your bag at all?

    When does my new card arrive?!

    Yeah the link would not work for me for a replacement card either. Came up with some guff about it being a QF money card. Which sure, it was as we all know they were all issued. I never activated mine though - it was only ever used as a FF card, but somehow computer says no (also have not had...

    Qantas Travel Money changing to Qantas Pay - May 2024

    Yup. I ignore the tips for counter service, fast food etc. That's always what I was taught in 3 decades of US visits, so not going to change for this. I even feel a bit iffy about putting a tip on a CC slip for say a sit down meal. Prefer a cash tip to the server. Who knows how a CC tip is...

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    Perhaps Dennis Denito can take QF to the high court: "In summing up, it's the constitution, it's The Montreal Convention, it's justice, it's law, it's the vibe and aah no that's it, it's the vibe. I rest my case."
