This seems a bit sad for anyone flying, particularly those flying in F. Will QF still be out of T4 when the A380 starts flying on 17th Jan 09? Hmm, I am the same. I specifically booked QF on LHR-HKG to try out the QF First Service presuming my upgrade comes through. I'm thinking I'll change...

I'd tend to agree that the Fuel Fines seem a little high. I ticketed mine last week and the fuel fines were $174 in the initial quote and ended up being $87.50 in the final ticket. (though I suspect the final ticket is a tax calc error) As I understand it, AA charge the fuel surcharge on the...

Serty, did you have YQ on your trip or have you only included the actual taxes above? The biggest part of mine was nearly $1100 in Fuel Surcharges when plated to QF, at least it's only $172 if I plate to AA. :p Problem is, I can't book more than 16 sectors without doing a later resissue to...

Great, thanks guys! Incidentally, is MCT considered a long haul departure or a European departure?? Methinks it's probably long haul but it depends whether HM has the same interpretation of Europe as Oneworld. ;) Yeah, that's definitely another option Evan. The reason it's LHR-HKG on QF is to...

I'm in the process of booking my DONE4 at the moment and after the shock of getting my initial tax quote back at $1,947, I'm looking at ways to cut this a little. With the UK Premium departure tax at 80 quid for long hauls, I was thinking of ways to optimise it. I intend on visiting London...

I have to agree, the atmosphere in the MCG is out of this world. The Telstra Dome doesn't really compare IMHO but at least you don't get stuck in the rain. ;) Been to a few games at the MCG, surprisingly all Collingwood (but i don't support Collingwood) and the atmosphere is electric. :D

The main benefits are: Brisbane will increase to 17 weekly services (up from 14) immediately and return to triple daily (21 services per week) from 2nd July. Looks like it'll be operated by the 772's (Regional config) Sydney increases to 24 services per week (up from 21) on 8 April and...

Definitely count me in as a highly probable. :D Great idea QF009! That's our busiest time at work but I'll try and make it.

As Serfty mentioned, it mightn't be possible under the rules but I've flown on through flights on separate sectors as well. (SYD-LAX-JFK as separate connecting sectors) The main benefit being different seat selection on different flights.' Mine was booked through a TA though and considering...

I really hope this is the case (and it seems that MH has agreed to honour it) but it wouldn't be the first time an airline has decided not to honour a mistake fare and to cancel all tickets several weeks after the tickets were issued. I booked an Air Canada fare that was posted on FT in...

Apparently there are very few customers that actually max out the 20 segments on a xONE4 but I still see this as a huge devaluing of the product. Given the price increases over the last 12 months and the new rules resticting pax to 16 segments, the value has dimished considerably IMO. I guess...

A couple of Saturdays ago in the SYD T3 QP, Stephen Larkham (standing at the entrance to the QP talking with a fellow Wallaby for a good 20 minutes), Anthony Callea (talking on his phone and hiding from as many as possible) heading up to Brisbane and a Channel Nine news reporter talking loudly...

I agree totally. It can get a little crowded but the main part of the terminal can get really crowded. Even if the QP is busy, it'll be 10 times better than sitting outside. And the free drinks will make things much better. ;)

Great idea QF009, I'm a definite for August. Fingers crossed (a bit morbid but....) I'll be living in a different country in November. I like Melbourne in winter, much less of a chance for it to be 43 degrees and zero humidity. ;)

There's quite an informative article here which covers alot more facts than the other articles posted to date. Jet Blows Tires During Takeoff at LAX | News | KTLA The CW | Where Los Angeles Lives Though given that they can't spell Qantas and the BAe146 in the picture doesn't exist in the...

The SMH has an article about QF's recent incidents and the profit. :rolleyes: Qantas jet blows tyres on take-off - Travel - smh.com.au

LOL, a very good point. :p I will get back to it soon, I'm just following Tooner's lead. ;) There's another member of AFF chasing me to write a TR for a weekend a couple of weeks ago so he can add his side of the story. We will get there. :oops:

Great choice with Prague QF009! From all reports, the nightlife is pretty wild and it's a nice city itself. ;) I'm heading over in December so I should be able to let you know. :p

Hi JayRed. Welcome to AFF. :p It's really a mixed bag and depends on a couple of things. Make sure your AA booking class will earn status credits with QF. The following Discount Economy classes earn points with QF GLMNSV while their main discount economy O class will not earn SC's. If...

Congratulations Ikara. :p Hopefully we'll hear some stories like drron's where you use up all those points in style. Happy retirement!
