  • Launch locked in: Air New Zealand’s 787 business class

    Dec 03, 2024, 03:02 PM

    Are these retrofits on 787's with engines that don't need inspection etc?

  • Virgin Australia reveals new international 777 flights

    Dec 03, 2024, 02:51 PM

    Am I right, this will be QR metal with a QR flight crew? So the only real dfifference might be VA cabin crew? Or is that crew QR too so the only difference is a VA flight number? If you want to earn/burn Velocity points fair enough, if you're QF FF there's no advantage and you'll be better off bo...

  • What new US flight disruption rules mean for Qantas refunds

    Oct 31, 2024, 08:58 AM

    It seems to me, using the QF12 example, if you chose not to accept then you'd know you'll get a refund and you'd be free to book any other carrier at any other time/date.

    It's a bit rich that PE will be "reaccommodated" into Y, even with a fare adjustment. Some people don't want Y, which is how come they book PE. Money back if requested is the only fair process. Not a credit, money back.

  • Cabin Video Surveillance

    Oct 23, 2024, 09:45 AM

    Does anyone know, do Australian carriers (QF, VA, JQ in particular) routinely do video surveillance in the passenger cabin? I'm interested because I've seen a report that CX is using video to prevent theft from overhead lockers and "suspicious behaviour", using an AI algorithm.

  • Qantas customer service

    If QF customer service is worse than AA then the bottom of the barrel has been reached by our "national carrier".
