    Qantas to scrap Premium Economy to HKG from April 2019 [only A330 scheduled]

    I was searching SYD-HKG flights next year and I noticed from April the flights QF127/128 and QF 117/118 were both A330 flights. I rang the QF Call desk and they confirmed this was correct and not just a system glitch. Obviously this will mean the 747 is being removed on this route - yet it will...

    QF Economy Flex books into Discount Economy

    I used to see the fact that QF hides fare class on their website as something annoying, but today I realised just how stupid that decision is. So I tried to book a Flex Y ticket MEL-SYD-DFW-ATL, YYZ-ORD-LAX-SYD-MEL and I made sure to select only QF codeshare on the AA domestic segments. Using...

    Hopefully a quick question a AFF member can help me with - i did a search and couldn’t find the answer.

    Flying Business, Wanting to Eat Economy

    This is mostly a curiousity question, prompted by me being soon to fly to LAX and back with some fussy eaters (adults). If you don’t care for any of the mains in the Business Class Menu, can you ask for a meal from a lower cabin class? If yes, does anyone have any experience in doing so?

    Lack of curtains separating Business and Economy on 737

    Does anyone know the reason Qantas decided to remove the curtains between Business and Economy on the 737 during the refit a few years ago? To me it loses a lot of the exclusivity of being in Business and having economy passengers walk through the cabin to get to the toilet can become...

    Comfort seat - economy not upgradeable

    Wanting a quick trip to LA and was considering economy over and having a comfort seat. One thing I didn't realise (I do think in hindsight obvious) I cant be upgraded as a comfort seat needs to be on the same booking as the person so the upgrade would need to be for both seats. Sooo didn't go...
