Latam Airlines brings back non-stop Sydney to Santiago flights
Apr 16, 2024, 02:55 PMWill LATAM ever bring their reconfigured 787s to Australia with their new 1-2-1 business class? I flew this from Lima to São Paulo and the seat was excellent. Their 2-2-2 seat I found to be quite lumpy and uncomfortable on the much longer journey home.When deciding to fly business with LAT...

Review:
Nov 02, 2018, 12:37 AMI'll have to give this another shot now it's officially opened. I visited recently and didn't think much of it. It was extremely noisy, as others have observed in the Community section, and there didn't seem to be any 'quiet' zones to seek refuge in. In the old lounge, I was accustom to walking t...

Your business class choices on flights between Australia & Brazil
Oct 13, 2018, 10:42 PMHi Brandon - thanks for updating the article, it’s much easier to read now with the maps separated in the various options. Re Qatar - this has never been a viable option for me due to the horrendous layover on the return leg, 20+ hours to get back to MEL. Also the aircraft on the DOH &...

Escaping the Gold or Platinum status handcuffs
Jul 09, 2018, 01:14 PMGreat article and I tend to agree on most points. One thing that's not captured here is that higher status gives you better visability over reward bookings/availability. Not worth the effort of stacking all those AMEX/QFF points, if you can't redeem them. If you read the Community posts here and...

Qantas Club members lose access to Singapore lounge until September
Jul 08, 2018, 01:48 AMI think you make a great and often overlooked point. For me the benefit of a lounge is somewhere comfortable and quiet to relax. I personally am not as bothered by the food/drink offerings, I don’t need a picture of a champagne glass for my Instagram. For peace and quiet the QF SIN lou...

Qantas domestic business class experience
Jan 19, 2019, 04:51 PMI would agree with most of your observations David.Over the last 12 months I have noticed the pre-takeoff drinks have gone from being a choice of juice, water or even champagne on some flights, to now only water or sparkling water. Towards the end of the flight you are now offered a small, plasti...

Qantas Frequent Flyer - phantom availability
Jun 12, 2018, 01:45 PMHi all - I spent the best part of two hours working out a dream itinerary that included Asia, Africa, South America and to my surprise, I was able to locate available Classic Reward space in business/first on each leg.Unfortunately despite getting to the payment page, I received an 'unspecified e...

Latam refund wanted: Paid business, put in economy- twice!
Feb 05, 2018, 01:31 PMOriginally Posted by dmulally A week ago today, for the second time, I was put into economy by Latam on a full fare business ticket between Sydney and Rio. Hi dmulally - I fly yearly to South America and always choose LATAM over QANTAS, because in my view, LA has a superior product on their 787 ...

Qantas Business Class Travel Experience
Jan 20, 2018, 11:43 AMOriginally Posted by Luke49 All I can stay is shop around try elsewhere if you’re unhappy. This is the best advice! I spent about a year winding myself up that QF were not meeting my expectations and then complaints would fall on deaf ears with a standard response "we'll pass on your feed...
