It should definitely be offered as a private project.

I totally agree.

The expected time to travel on the proposed Melbourne Airport Rail Link from the airport to Southern Cross station (assuming the railway is ever built) is the same as the time it currently takes on the Sky Bus service. You wonder why they’re bothering. And if you add to that the fact that the...

This is Australia we’re talking about, and more specifically Victoria, so don’t expect anything express-like, either in terms of construction time or service.

I thought Classic Plus has only been available for less than a year.

If I make a payment to a company then I am entitled to a receipt for that payment. If a customer pays Qantas Hotels then my understanding is that Qantas Hotels is obliged to issue a receipt. I pay my local supermarket for groceries and they issue a receipt. They don’t tell me to contact the...

I remember reading somewhere that the train, if the tracks are ever laid, will take the same time to get from the airport to Southern Cross station as the Skybus currently does.

Qantas Classic Plus ‘reward’ seat would have to be close to the top of the list.

Welcome to Australia! I would steer clear of Qantas Frequent Flyer unless you’re happy to pay thousands of dollars on Emirates redemptions. I think Krisflyer is very good value and I’ve never had issues with availability. I’d suggest Velocity but as you say, it’s not an option. However, I would...

I won't go into detail on a public forum but I don’t believe QF when they say they are releasing more award seats than ever before. Especially not in business class on long haul flights, which was the main point of one of the comments that triggered this thread. But in the end it doesn’t really...

I agree with most of what you’ve said but beg to differ with the premise that the rise in QFF membership and greater awareness of the benefits could be the reason why premium long haul CR seats are more difficult, if not impossible, to come by. Assuming most people posting comments here are...

I was using anecdotal evidence as a QFF customer so apologies if I stated it was a fact but now you mention it, I too would like to see Qantas report how many long haul business class seats they have released in the past 12 months compared to the same period 5 and then 10 years ago. I would...

Based on availability over the last ten years and have previously booked countless business class long haul Classic Reward seats.

It might be a win for them but the fact remains that Qantas are offering fewer and fewer premium Classic Reward seats, especially for long haul. And I suspect that the next move will be to reduce Classic Reward availability even further by claiming that the demand for Classic Reward Plus is so...

Isn’t this just pure Qantas spin to try and distract loyal QFF members from the fact that QFF points are worth less and less each day and that the number of premium long haul Classic Reward seats are becoming as rare as hen’s teeth?

You would think that Qantas would be more amenable having received millions of dollars from Australian taxpayers with no requirement pay any of it back, despite its increased profits. How many other private businesses had that level of publicly funded support during Covid?

I have used The House lounge a few times in the last year. The lounge itself is okay (but a shadow of its former self) and the views across the tarmac are very good but the food is average at best and very limited. I get a few free entries a year through my Priority Pass card but I won't be...

Its market share will continue to dominate as long as the Australian government continues to protect it.
