  • Review: Qatar Airways’ free Starlink WiFi allows FaceTime, Zoom

    Oct 23, 2024, 06:23 PM

    That's me voting with my feet. In my experience a small number of people will behave badly and that is all it takes. Big mistake Qatar. And that's separate to any views I hold of Elon Musk - for which this is not the place.

  • Qantas says it won’t let dogs, cats fly in the cabin

    Mar 08, 2024, 03:30 PM

    They didn't survey me. I'd switch immediately to whatever domestic airline does NOT allow pets in the cabin.

  • Review: Virgin Australia Lounge, Sydney Airport

    Nov 22, 2023, 03:01 PM

    It was very kind of the reviewer not to use any pics taken between 0730-0930 and 1500-1830 when its a zoo. Having said that its streets ahead of the Brisbane VA lounge which is awful. They both share the problemt that we MUST have barrista coffee only.  In Brisbane the queue for coffee ...

  • Review: Qantas international business class lounge, Brisbane [2023]

    Apr 02, 2023, 11:36 AM

    I think your review was a tad too kind! My pet beef with this lounge as with others and particularly Virgin is that one has to queue for coffee. By all means have a 'barrista' if you think people find that 'cool' but also provide good coffee machines (with good coffee) for those who are aver...

  • Review: Air New Zealand, Star Alliance lounge, Brisbane Airport

    Mar 11, 2023, 10:54 PM

    A ho-hum review. Small point but those WiFi speeds are atrocious. Better off to use one's own 4G as I suspect most would.Know the lounge well and its certainly streets ahead of Singapore Airlines' which is cramped and hasn't had a makeover for over five years

    There's another catch with the current offer, if you've had a UA status match in the last fiver years you won't be considered as I just found out, Bummer!

  • Departing Australia on Singapore Airlines and PCR Test query

    Mar 14, 2022, 02:32 PM

    I'm departing Brisbane for Rome via Singapore in a couple of weeks on SQ236 - a VTL flight. I"m triple vacced. Having researched Singapore Govt, and Italian Govt requirments it is pretty clear that one does NOT now need a PCR test to board that flight however SIA"s own site seems a little vague....

  • Probability of International Travel from January

    Oct 05, 2021, 11:11 AM

    Like 'Dartpro' I live in QLD. Once the international borders open, as decided by the Federal Goverment, I don't understand at a practical level how QLD can actually stop one from leaving on an international flight from say Brisbane. Border Force who control entry and exit is a Federal entity. Unl...
