Review: how Qantas’ new boarding groups system works

Jul 28, 2023, 06:27 PM

Okay, good explanation thanks ET, this is now making more sense to me. Happy that Golds are not in the same priority group as business class and Platinums, that never made sense, especially on flights on the BNE-SYD-MEL triangle where in peak hours half the plane would be in the 'priority' line.T...
Review: how Qantas’ new boarding groups system works

Jul 28, 2023, 06:23 PM

Did you read the article properly? Golds still get to board ahead of the rest the economy cabin. This is actually a published OneWorld benefit for OneWorld Sapphires such as QF Gold, that they have 'priority boarding', and they still have it, it's just not in the same priority group as business c...

A dummy booking on the CX website shows these 777s don't have First.

No, there are 777s without First and this looks like one of them.
Turkish Airlines confirms all-new 777 business class

Jul 24, 2023, 01:32 PM

It really concerns me that Turkish Airlines seems to want to keep the same number of 49 business class seats in the 777 and rely on a what would still be a 2-3-2 layout, even if every seat is a private suite with direct aisle access, instead of just losing 7 seats to drop to 42 suites in a standa...

Qantas Baggage handlers - shocking video

Dec 06, 2022, 12:24 PM

Surprised nobody has posted about this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcP6NeoQCHgThis is shocking behaviour and seems like a result of the outsourcing of key operations. People's luggage should have rights and it's disappointing how airlines treat them as throwaway items.

How do you research your trip?

Dec 15, 2021, 11:50 AM

A good question, how do we research flights? If there are a lot of options, maybe a destination I'm not familiar with or which has no direct flights. Google Flights really helps to get your head around the options. Then I'd consider which airline gives me loyalty benefits, which has the better bu...
Layover in Singapore (not transit)

Dec 15, 2021, 11:44 AM

I agree with David's points above, a one-night stopover simply isn't worth it in this current environment. The old days, the pre-COVID days, absolutely it could be nice to break up the trip, stay at a hotel not too far from Changi and have dinner at that East Coast Lagoon food village. But these ...
