Do Qantas’ upgraded meals hit the spot?
Oct 04, 2024, 01:35 PMI am sure this has been suggested by somebody here as a comment on a similar topic in the past, but when you look at the quality of a lot of 'grab-and-go' food places I think those could be ideal meals and even snacks in economy. Every time I go the the UK I look at shops like Pret, well Pret is ...

Do Qantas’ upgraded meals hit the spot?
Oct 04, 2024, 01:27 PMSorry but a good bacon and egg roll for breakfast, sandwich for lunch and cake, scone or sandwich for afternoon tea won't be a "crowd pleaser", Qantas would get even more flack for all of those. Well maybe not afternoon tea, I actually like that idea.

Are Virgin Australia’s 777s on the way back?
Oct 04, 2024, 01:25 PMThis would be a pretty smart move by QR to bring back at least one or two VA 777s. Might be better for cities with less demand for premium cabins, as those should get the QSuites, but then again the 'Comfort+' premium economy could be a real hit too. Would love to see the CX 777s so there's the a...

Virgin Australia boosts Platinum business class upgrades
Sep 27, 2023, 06:54 PMI'd be surprised if that was 16 business class seats on a 737-800, and even so, the US market is vastly bigger than the AU one so we are talking apples vs oranges.

Your guide to Qantas ‘Neighbour Free’ empty seat charges [2023]
Jun 28, 2023, 05:17 PMNews flash for the people doing the usual knee-jerk complaining about this: Qantas is a business, and businesses are supposed to make money. Maybe some people here don't run their own business and so the concept of finding smart low-impact ways to decrease losses and increase revenue is los...

Emirates 777 Business Class
Jan 07, 2022, 09:47 PMI don't know, and there is no way of telling really unless you've been on one of the planes to see first hand, you would really have to ask Emirates,

QF SYD - LAX RETURN Experience RE: Testing
Jan 07, 2022, 09:45 PMI know somebody who did this at the airport, said it was very fast if you got there early ahead of the queue. I would rather get it done a day or two before I fly so it's one more thing I can cross off my "to do" list, and instead of waiting at the airport I can be just getting on with my day. Bu...

Qantas to USA - internal flights
Jan 07, 2022, 09:42 PMI don't see the LAX-JFK Boeing 787 coming back for a while, not until Qantas can see enough demand for it. In 2019 that demand was fuelled by daily flights from SYD MEL and BNE to LAX, and SYD and MEL were Airbus A380s. Current AU-US flying is barely a patch on that.I would agree with tommygun, j...

Lack of QF flights and A330s PER>East Coast
Jan 07, 2022, 09:40 PMI think Qantas is a bit gun-shy after WA has been closed for so long and it has NO way of predicting demand after this long, so it simply isn't willing to roll the dice on putting a bunch of A330s onto the east-west routes, not until the reopening of WA gets closer and Qantas can see a noticeable...

Flight cancellation - will Qantas cover accommodation?
Jan 07, 2022, 09:37 PMI would agree. Qantas is NOT bound to cover you for accommodation, and I don't even think any form of travel insurance would, this is just "sh*t happens" territory. But it won't hurt you to make your case to Qantas and see what they say, at the very least they might offer you a free night via a t...
