  • Virgin moves to spend-based Velocity status earning

    Oct 17, 2024, 12:40 PM

    These changes are worse for the premium cabins/flexible fares as your spending heaps and not getting as much. Think the spend/status credits should be closer to $8/sc for premium and flexible fares.

  • Do Qantas’ upgraded meals hit the spot?

    Oct 03, 2024, 04:42 PM

    All the economy meals look tiny. For 2 hour plus trips I'd like to be served a full sized meal container item, like international. 

  • Photos: inside Qantas’ newest jet, the Airbus A321XLR

    Aug 29, 2024, 12:31 PM

    There's just a whole lot of decisions made with this seat that don't make sense. The only reason why some decisions were made seem to be on cost savings rather than what was best for the customers. In regards to in seat power, the more options, the better for the customer. Good airlines woul...

    I could understand economy not having IFE as having free and fast wifi is something most airlines don't have but Business should have it as one of the perks should be you don't have to have a tangle of cords and devices to get a reasonable in-flight experience. I'm wondering if this was a Jo...

  • Australians to get payment for delayed, cancelled flights

    Aug 27, 2024, 12:41 PM

    Its still very vague on what the charter will contain. The proof will very much be on the pudding.I think it should be the philosophy of the charter to do the right thing by passengers in all circumstances and if the ombudsman has to be engaged, and then if the airline is at fault, the ombudsman ...

  • Qantas A220 - seatback IFE screens or not?

    Jan 05, 2024, 08:36 PM

    Part of the reason why we haven't seen the Qantas A220 interior is that the economy seats apparently don't have their padding installed due to a certification issue. In regards to the IFE, I think they should have it installed as they market themselves as a premium airline, and since the A220s wi...

  • International to Domestic Connection Time at Narita

    Oct 20, 2022, 05:20 PM

    As long as your flight is on time, you should easily be able to catch the ANA flight. JL uses terminal T2, whereas NH uses T1, you can connect via the shuttle bus. Just remember domestic departures desk at T1 is at a separate part of the airport to all the other check-in areas. I've usually found...

  • Rex Syd-Mel very low pax loads

    Mar 30, 2021, 02:41 PM

    Yeah some of those numbers are very low and not sustainable in the long term, but it's still very much early days so hopefully they have factored in low numbers for the first couple of months and an eventual pick up starting around Easter. With all the lockdowns and other restrictions, you'd be ...

  • London and Hong Kong lounges closing permanently?

    Nov 06, 2020, 03:04 PM

    I'd imagine the issue with the lounges is that they will probably be closed for another 12 months, so that's why unfortunately the staff have been let go. I could imagine the HK lounge closing due to the better relationship with CX, but with the London one, I think this is more to do with the lik...

  • Qantas increase earn on American Trans Pacific flights

    Oct 01, 2019, 01:01 PM

    That's good. Example of the change is discount economy goes from 1,875 FF / 20 SC to 4,500 FF / 45 SC (Australian East Coast to US West Coast, one way ). Most status credits are now doubled, with business from 90 to 180 and First going from 135 to 270.
