Qantas’ new lounge guesting rules explained
May 18, 2023, 05:32 PMIn the past have used Qantas Meeting Rooms when I have day tripped to Sydney for 3 or 4 person meetings and a quiet corner in one of the lounges for 1:1s. With meeting rooms closed and the ability to bring in a non-flying guest now going, makes things a little more awkward. Was a handy perk and a...

Up close with Qantas’ all-new A350 business class
Feb 23, 2023, 11:56 AMLooks really good to me. I have just done the Singapore Airlines, Singapore to New York and return trip of 18 hours each way and I must say their Business Class seating / flip down bed configuration is appalling for such a long trek. Would be more than happy to try this one out. Qantas just needs...

What I would like from the new Qantas CEO
May 19, 2023, 01:29 PMUnfortunately Qantas is now a shadow of it former self.

Singapore Stopover Holiday
Feb 23, 2023, 03:28 PMI used to stay at the Crowne Plaza for short layovers, quite ok but it is an ‘airport hotel’. In more recent times, headed into town. Have been using the Carlton on Bras Basah Road exclusively for layovers as well as longer stays. Nowhere is far in Singapore and taxis or Grab (their U...
