  • Qantas drops Melbourne-Perth 787 flights

    Jul 05, 2024, 05:47 PM

    I am no defender of Qantas, but the Melbourne conspiracy theories here are hilarious. If Melbourne’s population ponied up the cash for premium seats, then the supply would meet the demand. Sydney passengers pay a premium. Further, wealthy international customers pay a premium to land in Syd...

  • Review: Singapore Airlines SilverKris first class lounge, Sydney

    Mar 04, 2024, 09:59 AM

    I much prefer flying airlines that limit access to lounges according to the class of travel. QF First is already expensive enough that the value proposition is immediately downgraded the minute you walk into a crowded First lounge.  It is even worse if you are flying Business class and have ...

  • Here is Qantas’ all-new premium economy seat

    Jan 20, 2024, 03:04 PM

    Thank you, that is very much appreciated.  As someone who is 6’5”, I find that two seats with equal pitch but different widths makes a dramatic difference to general comfort as well as being able to keep slight movement in my legs on a long flight.

    Hi David, could I please make a humble request that you ask the airlines, and include in the article, what the seat width is. It is very important information for judging the comfort of the seat. 

  • Review: Qantas Sydney First Class Lounge

    Nov 29, 2023, 02:53 PM

    This is very true Flying mermaid.  Revenue F passengers are so relatively unusual for Qantas that they do not really know how to treat them, and, understandably, are not changing their business model to try.  There are few F routes, and they are mostly full of points upgraders and staff...

  • Declining value of Oneworld Emerald lounges

    Aug 03, 2023, 08:37 PM

    I know this is an unpopular opinion, and does not suit Qantas' business model, but I wish more airlines did this. Even Emerald Qatar FFs have to be flying at least Business to access the Al-Safwa lounge. I really dislike how busy the Qantas First lounges are. Qantas First is expensive enough, a...

  • Qantas is cracking down on illegal buying & selling of frequent flyer points

    Jan 06, 2019, 12:57 PM

    The points are acquired or “earned” (if that word makes people feel better) pursuant to a contractual relationship. The terms of that relationship dictate the use that may be made of the points. Quite extraordinary how many of the comments deny that basic fact, commenting on purported...

  • Sharing a J seat...?

    Aug 15, 2018, 05:27 PM

    Was recently in F to London, and a married couple kept swapping between a F and Y seat. He explained to the crew that they were sharing the care of their baby in Y, and the crew did not bat an eyelid. I did not mind either. Do not think anyone else did.
