Qantas launches new double Status Credits promo
Feb 21, 2024, 11:17 PMFor those actually travelling in First they do quarantine a section of the lounge off for First dining. Was recently in LAX First Lounge where there was a queue of about 12 people waiting for dining tables, but there was still a section of about 20-30 seats reserved for First pax, which I assume ...

Qantas launches new double Status Credits promo
Feb 21, 2024, 10:41 PMYes, if they are flying on QF metal with you that same day, Plats can take 1 adult guest, regardless of their status, and up to 2 kids (aged 4-17). It's pot luck on availability of SYD/MEL spa treatments in the First Lounge, as they get offered to people actually travelling in First when you...

Qantas A380 and first class returns to Melbourne
Mar 24, 2023, 03:00 PMFrom Nov onwards, there are a number of Tuesdays that are showing A380 - sometimes only on the return leg ex-LAX, possibly allowing for A380's rotating through the LAX maintenance facility. That may well change over the coming months, but I'm currently booked on A380 one of the Tuesdays LAX-...

Qantas A380 and first class returns to Melbourne
Mar 22, 2023, 07:27 PMSure - point taken, but you need to ask why soo people are grumpy / annoyed with QF. For the price you currently have to pay, I think by any reasonable measure that should come with some expectation of a good experience; especially compared to what we mostly agree is a better experience on compet...

Qantas A380 and first class returns to Melbourne
Mar 20, 2023, 05:46 PMLooking at the schedules, it appears to be loaded currently as 4 days a week - Mon/Tues/Thurs/Sat.I have already booked in F for Nov, but this is their last chance to get it right. If I have any more poor service outcomes or last minute schedule changes, they have lost me for good. I have been ve...

Anyone dare to explain?
Aug 23, 2024, 12:33 PMI am subscribed to Qantas Fare Watch and got an email overnight that quoted $4,276 MEL-LAX return in First Class. Clearly an error, but I suspect this fine print clause has them covered: Price and availability may be subject to change and cannot be guaranteedWhen trying to book using the link in ...

Baggage handling for First pax on arrival in Heathrow
Aug 23, 2024, 12:08 PMI've had that happen a few of times flying BA or QF First into LHR, and also QF or BA First into LAX (seems a bit hit or miss when they choose to do it). Not a big deal, and the trolleys (or a collection of bags with F tags) are usually sitting right next to the carousel. First time it was a bit ...

Qantas : no photos please
Dec 08, 2023, 01:50 PMSurely a right to privacy is a reasonable ask. I was recently on a flight to LAX in QF First and a high profile celeb was sitting behind me. All through the flight a couple of people kept coming down the front stairs and taking sneaky photos through the curtain, including when the person was fast...

Is Qantas price gouging on International connections?
Oct 09, 2023, 06:12 PMI often get connecting flights from MEL-SYD to connect to international services operating ex-SYD. The connecting domestic sectors in Business are usually added onto the international fare for circa $100 or so as a reflection of the airport taxes of the extra 2 sectors from/to MEL. Last few flig...

QF17/18 SYD-LAX
Sep 19, 2023, 05:21 PMIn short, there are a number of related reasons:The daily A380 covers the bulk of pax to LAX, with B787 fleet being stretched thin at the moment. Also allows for B787 to have 13+ hours on the ground for scheduled servicing at the LAX Maintenance Base, or longer depending on the schedule needs.Wit...
