UK lifts business class APD ‘flight tax’ to $500
Nov 02, 2024, 07:20 AMThis is a good opportunity to argue that Qantas should offer an alternative option into Europe via Singapore. In my view, London is just about the worst port to fly into from Australia. Aside from the added costs, it's 1-3 hours further away from Australia than most continental European cities so...

What will Qantas charge for direct flights to London, NY?
Jul 25, 2024, 09:37 AMNot only would I not pay a premium for the direct flights, I would more likely pay a premium for a Singapore stopover. I transferred through Singapore earlier this week and once again it was an absolute pleasure. 20+ hours on an aircraft is simply too long.Additionally, the point that doesn't get...

LATAM goes four times weekly from Melbourne to Santiago
Jun 22, 2024, 12:12 PMI've just done a search on the LATAM website for Melbourne to Santiago itineraries. Am I right in saying that LATAM charge for flights originating in Australia in US dollars and there is no way to pay in AU dollars? In what weird world is that deemed acceptable?

Tuck into this winter menu at Qantas’ first class lounges
Jun 10, 2024, 11:44 AMIs it too much to ask to add some good quality pastries (supplied by a reputable bakehouse) onto the breakfast menu? I know they often have a selection of pastries in the self serve buffet but these are small and are poor quality (the sort you would buy from the bakery section of a Woolworths or ...

Qantas Project Sunrise: A350 order, routes, everything you need to know
Jun 05, 2024, 01:58 PMThis sounds terrible. I would much prefer to break the flight up with a stop in Asia and would likely pay more to do so.The other no-factor is that only the people travelling between point A and B will benefit from this. So for example, on a Syd-London flight if you are connecting from any other ...

Moving to revenue based FF program?
Dec 06, 2024, 03:04 PMEarlier this week I completed a survey through Red Planet Research (affiliated with Qantas) that asked about attitudes to frequent flyer programs. In particular, it seemed to be focused on gauging attitudes to a revenue based frequent flyer program (ie, your status is linked to how much you spend...

Fare codes and earning status credits on Oneworld intra-Asia flights
May 18, 2024, 03:18 PMOriginally Posted by quantumreality It really depends on how much money you are willing to spend to buy the fare codes that give SCs and where is your 'base'.If you are a Qantas member, then the best bet to maximize SC, in my opinion, is to fly Jetstar (GK/3K/JQ) within Asia (but you need to buy ...

Fare codes and earning status credits on Oneworld intra-Asia flights
May 10, 2024, 03:39 PMI have an upcoming trip to Asia and I’m planning to book internal flights between different cities using One World airlines (eg, Malaysia, Cathay, JAL). I’m keen to book flights that earn Qantas status credits, however, this is proving to be exceedingly difficult because either the fa...

Qantas Green Tier reward
May 18, 2023, 11:02 AMHi brains trust. I have a question re Qantas green tier. I achieved green tier when Qantas first rolled this out and was able to select a reward. I've since re-achieved green tier in my new membership year but haven't been able to select a reward. It says in the conditions that members will be ab...

Jetstar moving terminals in Singapore
Dec 26, 2022, 05:45 PMI'm not sure if this was widely publicised and I just missed this, but I just noticed that Jetstar is moving from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 at Changi airport effective March 2023. This seems like an unfortunate move if you are connecting to or from a Qantas service between Australia and then have ...
