Qantas boosts Cairns, Townsville, Sunshine Coast, PNG flights
Dec 13, 2018, 05:57 PMGreat news on QF resuming CNS/POM route. PX service is good, but it's a monopoly and prices are high. As a regular flier on this route I appreciate the opportunity to once again earn QF points.

Should Qantas, Virgin acknowledge members of Australia's armed forces?
Nov 05, 2018, 10:20 PMOn a cultural level, it's fascinating how/why this is done in the U.S. Having seen it, it does seem to work for them. But this particular form of 'Americanism' just won't fly in Australia (no pun intended) because it's just too....American. There is absolutely nothing wrong or lacking about our l...

Istanbul's new airport opens, Turkish Airlines moving by end of year
Oct 30, 2018, 11:57 PMThis will give travellers who normally transit thru UAE's hubs a reason to pause and consider. I for one will give it a go instead of the usual Abu Dhabi/Dubai duo. Given how gargantuan New Istanbul airport is, and how little time it took to build....I just can't help but think poorly of Berlin's...

Australian passports can now be used at UK airport e-passport gates
Oct 30, 2018, 11:04 PMExcellent news for those who travel regularly to the UK. I've truly never minded waiting in line at passport control at LHR (hey, its England; queueing is practically a national pastime anyway). Practically gotten used to it now.It's the extended passive/aggressive grilling from surly, power-trip...

Thailand plans to add $1.8 billion terminal at Bangkok's main airport
Sep 26, 2018, 02:42 PMVery true @ausJCP, but I'd go further than say it's just 'warm'. At times, it's absolutely hot inside. The glass covering is only one reason though; the other is the sheer stinginess of A.O.T. who refuse to set the aircon to its optimum levels.

Qantas or Singapore Airlines?
Nov 14, 2018, 09:38 PMSeems like most replies are leaning towards SQ and/or retaining some status level. As someone wisely pointed out: "having some status is better than no status". I've found this to be so true. When starting out a few years back, even lowly silver status on certain airlines made a huge difference. ...

VA's new website
Jun 29, 2018, 09:22 PMOriginally Posted by Jazzop The new Velocity site is terrible. Seems like 'nice pictures' was prioritised over user experience and flow. What was an ugly but functional site is now lovely but horrible. Oh, couldn't even load flights the other day either.... Their website is now exactly what Virg...

Using VA flights to earn SQ miles
Jun 23, 2018, 08:21 PMOriginally Posted by hakkinen5 OK so back to my first question, for my existing VA bookings Mel to Per, if this flight is a codeshare, can I instead put my SQ number on the booking and earn SQ miles? The answer is supposedly 'yes', but I had issues with trying to append my SQ number to VA domest...

Qantas lounge dress code at international lounges?
Jun 20, 2018, 10:15 PMOriginally Posted by EKdevotee I always fly EK, usually in F. I never fly Qantas due to consistently ordinary service and behaviour in the past. Whereas I love wearing shorts with socks and Rossi boots, its significantly daggy. I don't mind looking daggy most of the time but it just doesn't seem...
