    Aug 02, 2024, 07:33 PM

    Readers need to know a little on the catering of Q, whereas commentators herein always blame Neil Perry.Q will ask NP to prepare a special menu for the various class of flights on various occasaions. . That menu will then be given to a Catering Company to prepare a tasting session for the Q team ...

  • Rex scraps 737 flights, goes into administration

    Jul 31, 2024, 08:43 AM

    A sad day for Regional areas who may lose those services. Their service out of Canberra was excellent. The board at Q will be pleased now they have forced a competitor out of the market. Good for V to assist some of those with flights booked. Couldn't see Q assisting in anyway. Reinforces my now ...

  • Turkish Airlines begins Melbourne-Istanbul flights

    Jan 31, 2024, 07:59 PM

    I must in part concur with Joe on Turkish Airlines. New flights to Istanbul look positive but from previous experience last year flight withinEurope lousy. Crapped out A320 where the Business class seat is in Economy with middle seat blocked, food and onboard service was terrible. The new Istanbu...

  • Review: Qatar Airways Platinum Frequent Flyer Lounge, Doha

    Sep 25, 2023, 08:55 PM

    Chris, excellent report for this amazing airport, one of the world's best. If you ever get the chance Fly F with QR and access  the Al Safwa lounge you can experience Luxury. Unfortunately no upgrades from Business to F with points etc will give you access which is disappointing. Like elsewh...

  • Nine airlines reveal what’s next in first class

    Sep 24, 2023, 11:11 AM

    I agree with Doktor, no mention of EK. As he mentions their Suites are excellent, service great and much room to move around on the A380 and rear bar for socialising if necessary. And of course the shower after a lengthy flight to Aus. The discussion provided by ET went to great lengths to show d...

    Two weeks ago I had a great QF experience. Arrived Cb airport at 7.40 am for 8.30 am flight to Sydney.

  • Qantas phone service (or lack of)

    Apr 22, 2022, 07:46 PM

    I can't complain, calls through to Qantas Guest Service. Within last 10 days, first was answered in 4 mins and the second in 10 mins as P1 for bookings using points. Staff were extremely pleasant and cooperative. One person worked from home couldn't assist me enough. Good to see for members who f...

  • $39 MEL-SYD flights on REX

    May 05, 2021, 04:53 PM

    As a Canberran in small business I wish them well. Q has screwed us all for many years on this sector. I had a one day course in Sydney which supposedly was to finish at 5 which would be a 6.55 flight to Cb. Course finished early and at the airport after 3.00. I asked for an early flight at 4.00 ...

  • Flying with a baby in Qantas First Class

    Oct 10, 2018, 07:36 PM

    Chris though I wouldn't like a baby in First Class, you as a Double P1 should be entitled to all first class seats just for you, your partner and baby.
