  • The big change coming to Qantas domestic economy

  • UK lifts business class ‘flight tax’ to $430

    Mar 07, 2024, 10:20 PM

    If the hassle of open-jaw tickets and getting from the UK to Europe is a bit much, another work around is to plan a stopover of more than 24 hours. The tax applies to the first stopover point not the full journey. If you fly direct from the UK and make a stopover of more than 24 hours in Ist...

  • Qantas says it won’t let dogs, cats fly in the cabin

    It's a hollow initiative unless airports agree to allow pets in the terminals. Most don't. 

  • Qantas launches Darwin-Singapore flights

    Jan 17, 2024, 05:33 PM

    I live in Darwin. If you cannot get the SQ flight, it's either a self connection via Bali (with border clearance and two stop itineraries beyond Asia) or a back track via southern ports which can adds a minimum of 12hrs to each leg of the journey. The E190 is a perfectly acceptable option co...

  • Qantas points when flight changed to new carrier

    Mar 15, 2024, 09:06 PM

    As Qantas made the change, you can claim the higher QF points if this isn't done automatically. The points will be as per the Qantas ticket booked. I'd suggest that you call Qantas for advice on how this needs to be processed.

    How about Virgin membership and a Star Alliance credit card? That opens Star Gold status after 60k annual spend.

  • MEL-DRW - Using Embraer's for a 4 hour flight??

    Aug 22, 2023, 06:24 AM

    I live in Darwin. The use of Darwin based E190s on transcontinental flights to Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra or Brisbane is increasing. Personally I've had no issues with the crew service and I prefer the 2 abreast in economy or solo business seat, but that's where the positives end. The lack of...
