• It seems a lot of hassle just to avoid having to stand for a few minutes to collect a case at the other end?  I do believe the priority tags work to some degree(QFF Plat) and only twice in 25 odd years did my bags not get on the plane.  Given flights can be delayed for many reasons its ...

  • Sorry rnicky but there are many products other than alcohol that kill viruses. The germs claim on the label will be to do with TGA requirements and specific claims. Killing viruses in the body is completely different to killing viruses on a surface. Peroxide, available chlorine for example ar...

  • I believe the intention is to give flyers 12 months to retain their status when the situation subsides rather than give a free year. If you have achieved the threshold for any level already, then you have to the end of your current year and then a full year to have the perks plus 12 months to re...

  • I’m just not going to waste energy on something that may or may not happen. If it’s bad I’ll deal with it, if it’s good I’ll deal with it.Normally negative news is leaked slowly and strategically- nothing this time??

  • There’s a lot of negative comments here. A reflection on us as a society perhaps.According to the article in the Aus - qantas loyalty just generated a record profit. If I was a CEO of a business making record profits then I would look at what was contributing to that and try to enhance i...

    3586 out of 14,000 is 25%- its not like you just missed it. Essentially you are asking for the threshold to be 10,000 status credits when its level is 14,000. 3500 status credits IS a lot of status points. Its nearly 6 years of gold level flying or 3 years of platinum. If you were 300 short m...

  • WIFI change

    Just started doing the East West journeys again after the disruption. Done 6 flights to Syd and Melb from Perth. On each occasion the wifi has been abysmal. Dropping in and out and lengthy periods where not available. My memory isnt always the best but I seemed to recall it being much better ...

  • Is Qantas Australia's worst airline?

    Nov 30, 2021, 02:54 PM

    I find it Australia's best airline but that's just a personal opinion.(Lifetime gold) What I would suggest is that you have a perfect storm of income being at an all time low for the company(any of them) corresponding with the most demand for personalised service due to rescheduling/refunding/re...

  • I run my own business so pricing a factor for me too. For Europe, Asia and Australia I've found accor to be very good.
