Hi all, Trying to get some information. Have a QF ticketed flight from BNE to East Coast US. Flying BNE - LAX - BOS. Due to recurrent flight changes I'm having to spend a night in LA - Arriving 1730 and departing following morning 0900. Bags will be checked through to BOS but when I collect my...

I can understand minimal contact from cabin crew, minimal service, no alcohol etc. But why no movies? To avoid contact with handing out headphones? IMO having IFE would help keep people quiet if anything.

Isn't that the modern corporate neoliberal approach? outsource and remove guaranteed costs, but blow your budget on subbies filling the gap (but of course the right hand doesn't talk to the left).

Would have to be the first (and second) upgrades return Y to J BNE-LAX. The flight over was obviously the best - day flight (~10am departure) with a few hours in the lounge before, followed by making the most of the service on the flight over. The return upgrade was amazing, but mainly because I...

Would also recommend the bulkhead in the 'mini' cabin in the first row of Y

I recently purchased a VPN for security and did a bit of reading prior. Pricewise, they're all on sale all the time, so that shouldn't be an issue. Basically you want to consider two things 1) Security - you wan't things to be secure and the VPN company not to keep logs of your activity 2)...

lol, doubt it

Are you suggesting 1) Short the price when AJ gets a hefty severance package 2) Go long when the new CEO arrives, shares tank and the cycle begins again 3)....??? 4) Profit

I recently flew QF15 and 16 return BNE-LAX in the 787. While I have only done this trip once previously on the 747 - I did note this time there were delays both ways, approx 45 mins BNE-LAX and almost 2 hours LAX-BNE. Both times it was 'minor engineering issues'. While I'm not going to attribute...

If a qantas event happens and there wasn't a news story - did it even happen?

On an individual level - if Qantas were flying 737Max on domestic routes next year - who would actively avoid them?

My theory has always been that if you're flying enough to need to use a lounge because terminals (and the great unwashed) are tedious, then your 'status' will get you into hte lounge. I'm low 'status' and clearly don't fly enough to rise up the ranks to get lounge access. But when I fly it's...

Recently returned from a standard LAX-BNE flight. The crowd in Y was probably the worst behaved i've seen (and I've flown to south east asia plenty of times) and the 13ish hours overnight was more than enough. Can't imagine up to 20. Sunrise would work for me if I was flying J/F - having a...

No issues with Qantas doing this, although it's a poor move from the disabled workers. That said, they're basically running their business the Australian way. Socialise the costs but privatise the gains (cheap labour).

Hi all, Partner and I are going to the US (BNE-LAX) in September-Oct 2019. It's school holidays when we leave but return a week after they finish. Routing is as direct as possible. Currently flights are approximatley $1800-2000 for Y return each on the dates we're looking at. My question is...

It's the Australian way!!

You just destroyed the status system.

You weren't tempted to pinch your children to make them scream after that?

Queue anyone over the age of 60 on a mobile in public ;) As for Y travel vs J. I COULD afford J (young, no debt, good income that'll grow in the future), and probably would justify it for myself, but I travel with my girlfriend now and at this stage we're setting ourselves up in life (saving...

My first unsuccessful request in the last 4 years for my annual leave travelling overseas, flying QF23 tomorrow. Expert flyer is showing 8 "blocked" seats out of the 28 J seats, so I wonder if there is still a chance despite being almost T-24???
