Qantas inflight meals: what do you want on the menu?
Oct 09, 2024, 01:42 PMI get that Qantas wants to continue being a 'full service' airline compared to Virgin, that every economy passenger gets something that passes for a meal or at least a snack, but I wonder what the response would be if Qantas introduced a new cheaper domestic 'Economy Lite' fare which had no meal ...

Qantas inflight meals: what do you want on the menu?
Oct 09, 2024, 01:37 PMIt's definitely tough on the crew, who are also working in a very small space with limited facilities on the 737, but I don't think anybody is asking for scrambled eggs for all 174 passengers, just the 12 passengers in business class.And this is one of my biggest concerns for the Qantas A321XLR i...

Do Qantas’ upgraded meals hit the spot?
Oct 04, 2024, 12:59 PMI honestly don't see what's wrong with a smoked salmon bagel or a miso-glazed chicken salad. They're both things I would be happy to order at my local cafe so what's wrong with them being on the menu of a domestic business class flight?

Do Qantas’ upgraded meals hit the spot?
Oct 04, 2024, 12:57 PMThis is proof that Qantas can't do anything right by so many people. You want boxed meals back, a few comments above a guy is hating on boxed meals.

Do Qantas’ upgraded meals hit the spot?
Oct 04, 2024, 12:56 PMAn answer to your suggestion: because there is a VERY high additional cost involved The products would be delivered to Qantas, then somebody would need to unwrap or unpack or unbox them, then transfer them to the Qantas-branded packets and boxes. So there's actually an additional expensive ...

Qantas Lounge Access for guests
Jul 15, 2020, 02:14 PMPrevious ET articles on the reopening of Qantas lounges have quoted Qantas as saying that any guests must be travelling on the same flight as you. The 'usual entitlement' doesn't apply right now because of the need to limit lounge capacity according to social distancing laws.

Would Virgin use its 777's for transcontinential if economics were viable?
Jul 05, 2020, 10:31 AMOriginally Posted by Dan22 Its a worthwhile thought and I wonder if new owners would run the economics of such a scenario. It got me thinking that since a330s will go, there's at minimum 4x 777s that VA own. It costs money to let these aircraft just sit there - maintenance, cycling of fuel throug...

Would Virgin use its 777's for transcontinential if economics were viable?
Jul 05, 2020, 10:27 AMThe short answer is YES, Virgin Australia would certainly use its Boeing 777s for east-west flights if the economics stacked up. Airlines are a business and it pretty much all comes down to economics. Qantas would use A380s for east-west flights if those economics stacked up, too. But to make tho...

Virgin Australia launches 'Basic Economy' fare
Jan 23, 2020, 03:45 PMOriginally Posted by planesa380 Virgin's “Light Fare” does not equal economy basic it still has a bag. It's more a new promo fare bucket to improve yields (think happy hour tickets and other promos). It will create more favourable terms to the airline for people who just want a cheap ticket and a...

Jan 23, 2020, 03:02 PMVery interesting but not much of a 'saving'.
