    Life Silver Recognition? Nope accused of made up crime and threatened with arrest..

    So having reached life silver in six years of work travel I didn't have high hopes for the "perks", so when I was approached by a crew member after take off (SYD->PER) I thought, maybe I get a little pat on the head for my milestone? Not so, I was accused of filming the safety demonstration...

    Lifetime silver to gold

    Just wondering if you are LTS which I am not far off, then do you only require 400 SC points to earn gold and 300 to maintain or do qantas make you earn 700 to get it and 600 to keep as per normal?

    What happened to the in-flight entertainment? [content]

    I just got off a return trip SYD - OOL and the in flight entertainment on the app was woeful! The amount of content is drastically less than before, the quality was also lacking and there was almost no TV shows at all which are much better for a short flight when you can't fit a 2 hour movie in...

    QF IFE down compensation question

    Flew QF BNE-PER on a J award fare. Seat back IFE was down for the entire flight, but the Q streaming was operational for BYO devices in J. It meant I couldn’t do my planned work and ‘be entertained’ at the same time. I know, first world problem... but it did give a less than overwhelming...

    The death of the seat-back screen: is this the end of in-flight entertainment as we know it?

    The seat has no IFE

    And I don't care, but let's tell the story. When checking in at the Airport Express station this afternoon I was asked to change my route home, I booked HKG-BNE-MEL, It will give me exactly enough SCs (with the HKG 50% extra SCs) to retain WP for another year. I refused to change the routing...

    Am I a weirdo? I never use the IFE

    I've just completed a European holiday, flying MEL - MAN SQ J and DUB - MEL EY J Approx 20 hours each way (airborne) - so I spent a total of almost a two days in the air! AND I didn't use the IFE on ANY leg!! (well, that's a little lie because actually I watched one and a half episodes of...

    VA [Inflight] Wi-Fi

    Flew the wifi enabled 738 on Wednesday PER-BNE, no announcements made on availability, but a timely article by AusBT had drawn my attention to it. Flight was pretty full, and being entertainment via wifi anyway, a lot of people with connected devices would have realised wifi was running as...

    Qantas WiFi (aka Qantas inflight Internet)

    A quick heads-up: while Qantas planned to flick the switch on its Qantas WiFi service this coming week to allow public access to the inflight Internet service (admittedly only on the one Boeing 737 suitably kitted up, that being VH-XZB) and kick things off with a special charter flight for media...

    Inflight cameras

    I love those "Skyview" cameras mounted on the tail or under the fuselage that give - via the entertainment screen - a look at the plane in flight or the terrain below that is a lot wider than peering through a porthole. The Emirates A380 has three of these things going, and on takeoff or final...

    Qantas Entertainment App: Is it worth installing?

    I am travelling in J on a 717 to MEL-HBA tomorrow and then HBA-SYD on Sunday. I have had an email suggesting installing the QF Entertainment app (I'm Android, Mrs jaybeedee is an old iphone). I like the idea of a play list that I can pick up again on my next flight, but I hate disappointing...

    Seatguru and AVOD underseat units

    As an avid aisle seat selector I have been caught out numerous times by the under-seat AVOD units that are on the various aircraft. When I look on Seatguru (SeatGuru Seat Map Qantas Airbus A330-300 (333) V2) I dont see any mention of the units. I know that I have been sitting in A330 - Y...
