  • Qatar Airways targets more Australian flights by June 2025

    Oct 30, 2024, 04:42 PM

    I have no doubt that QR will fly to Western Sydney when it opens, but I can't see it being an A380, the airline doesn't have enough of them to go around and is also trying to get rid of them, so by the time WSI opens at the end of 2026 I think WSI-DOH is more likely to see an A350.

  • First look: Qantas upgrades A330s with new economy seats

    As the article pretty clearly says, there's no refurb in business class.

  • What new US flight disruption rules mean for Qantas refunds

    Oct 30, 2024, 03:55 PM

    The 'caveat' that the refund will be payable only if a passenger does not accept "alternative compensation" is going to catch some people out, if for example there's a BIG delay to a Qantas flight out of LAX or a cancellation, and given the late night departure they offer to put you up at the LAX...

  • Cathay plans ‘next-gen’ Hong Kong flagship lounges

    Oct 30, 2024, 02:24 PM

    If Cathay gets this right, and I expect they will, HKG is going to be absolutely amazing! Imagine The Wing lounges being the same calibre as The Pier lounges, and CX will probably add some 'X-factor' into them to make them a bit more unique and a bit more their own. Can't wait!

    Second paragraph: "And those flights could go on sale as soon as December, pending a tentative green light from the Australian government’s consumer watchdog."

  • A380 plus a dribble of 777'S

    Jul 15, 2021, 10:45 AM

    There's no such thing as this "Boeing 777-1000" you have mentioned. Are you talking about the Boeing 777X, which comes in either a 777-8 or 777-9 version?That aside, the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 are all very different aircraft, and the degree of 'comfort' also depends on how an a...

  • Oneworld Emerald lounge recommendations for Narita, Heathrow

    Jul 20, 2019, 12:17 PM

    This sounds like a great trip, and it's a good example of when Oneworld lounge access based on your frequent flyer status comes in so handy! My advice would be:* Melbourne: Qantas first lounge. No contest!* Narita: JAL first class lounge. This has recently been renovated, I have heard it can get ...

  • How to fly to India with Qantas/Emirates

    Jul 03, 2019, 12:33 PM

    As mentioned, Qantas stopped flying to Dubai last year when it switched back to Singapore. For Oneworld I'd suggest Sri Lankan ex-Melbourne or Cathay Pacific via HKG.
