  • Adelaide’s new Qantas Club lounge is now open

    Nov 19, 2024, 12:19 PM

    Am curious to know whether there has been any increase in floorspace and seating, or did they just cut the old Qantas Club into 2 sections, to now replace with a dedicated QF Club and QF Domestic lounge?  The old Qantas Club was fairly full at certain times, be interesting to know how to pan...

  • It's 2024, and time we axed Australia’s incoming passenger card

    Aug 13, 2024, 01:42 PM

    Having to also get a ticket at a Kiosk before you even reach the smart gates for inbound passengers seems really redundant also.   Why not just have the passport reader and Egates all integrated into one like all other countries seem to have?

    Any chance these flights will be CodeShared with Qantas?

  • Virgin Australia business class: a real game-changer

    Jun 21, 2024, 02:02 PM

    We have Virgin to thanks for all the great competition. If it wasn't for them, we'd be flying around in "revolutionary" European Business class, with the middle seat blocked out.

  • What’s it’s like to fly in the Qantas A220

    Jan 08, 2024, 07:24 PM

    One downside of not having seatback entertainment is having to stow your device during takeoff & landing, whereas seatback entertainment, most airlines will let you watch your program from gate to gate... this will probably mean cabin crew will also be required to do the safety demo instead o...

    Maybe if they made the website more user friendly without trying to upsell Points plus pay, it might not cause so much confusion. Sure, allow the option, but show the Reward seats by default first.

  • Best in Bangkok

    I second the Marriott Surawongse. The pool and breakfast alone are amongst the best, with modern rooms and friendly staff. If you happen to get the bigger suite rooms, it almost feels like you're own spacious apartment.

    Maybe next time start your conversation with "Hi, your Call is being recorded for my quality assurance..."... maybe they will be more careful with what they say? lol

  • QF Lifetime Gold - leftover Qantas Club membership

    Nov 23, 2022, 06:47 PM

    A few years ago you were able to request they refund the Qantas Club membership after you received lifetime Gold. I'm not sure if this is the case anymore. An email to their customer care could probably assist.

  • Is Executive Traveler becoming a Qantas mouthpiece?

    Nov 23, 2022, 04:18 PM

    Probably got to do with whats available to report on at the time. QF having gone through quite some bad PR is pumping out a lot of "good news" stories. Naturally, it will get picked up and reported on. The same with Virgin /Rex/ Bonza and any other carrier operating around Aus, if they had mor...
