• I don't think we will see Perth-Paris or Perth-ANYWHERE until the war between Qantas and Perth Airport is ended, so as nice as a Sydney-Perth-Paris 787 would be, my money is actually on Sydney-Seattle, I already fly there sometimes but go via LAX or SFO which is a real pain. Be great to fly from ...

  • What a terrible decision by the Australian Goverment, and a slap in the face of an airline which helped bring so many Aussies home during the pandemic, as well as enabling people who HAD to travel to get where they needed to go. All this was done at a huge cost to Qatar Airways, as it was not rec...

  • I'm honestly curious why you "would never wear" a polo top? I think they look great, very smart but still casual. My of my casual wardrobe especially for flying is cotton polo tops, unbranded, in a range of colours which always match well with chinos or dress jeans, although I don't recommend jea...

  • I have to say, I am in favour of revenue-based systems. I know that makes me the odd one out but I don't see why somebody who pays the higher fare for business or first or even premium economy shouldn't be earning a LOT more points and be recognised by the airline's loyalty program for their ...

  • Well, because nobody has any idea of the number of miles between Sydney and London for example, or between almost any two other points on the globe, so they have to look that up, and almost nobody knows about GCMap or similar, and THEN they have to apply Tier bonuses. Sure, most people just use t...

  • A380 plus a dribble of 777'S

    There's no such thing as this "Boeing 777-1000" you have mentioned. Are you talking about the Boeing 777X, which comes in either a 777-8 or 777-9 version?That aside, the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 are all very different aircraft, and the degree of 'comfort' also depends on how an a...

  • This sounds like a great trip, and it's a good example of when Oneworld lounge access based on your frequent flyer status comes in so handy! My advice would be:* Melbourne: Qantas first lounge. No contest!* Narita: JAL first class lounge. This has recently been renovated, I have heard it can get ...

  • FYI, Qantas has several more domestic Boeing 747 flights lined up for the end of this year and early next year.* SYD-BNE, QF524 on 9 Nov 2019* BNE-SYD, QF529 on 11 Nov 2019* SYD-ADL, QF743 on 23 Nov 2019* ADL-SYD, QF736 on 25 Nov 2019* SYD-MEL, QF417 on 31 Dec 2019* MEL-SYD, QF438 on 1 Jan 2020* ...

  • As mentioned, Qantas stopped flying to Dubai last year when it switched back to Singapore. For Oneworld I'd suggest Sri Lankan ex-Melbourne or Cathay Pacific via HKG.

  • I believe these are domestic legs before Antarctic flights, the actual flight details from that website linked are:Sydney – Adelaide QF743 SYD1840 – 2015ADL 744 23NOV19QF736 ADL1235 – 1500SYD 744 25NOV19Sydney – BrisbaneQF524 SYD1200 – 1230BNE 744 09NOV19QF529 BNE120...
