Singapore Airlines’ all-new A350 first, business class suites
Nov 06, 2024, 09:28 AMI know I'm in the minority but I really don't mind having to manually convert the bed on the 350s, its hardly a Herculean task. I did treat it much like a sofa- after the meal, convert and lounge (multiple pillows seem to be do-able on SQ in a way they aren't on QF). And there are always crew hap...

Qantas announces massive changes to international flights
Oct 16, 2024, 06:38 PMThis would have been planned well before the VA/QR announcement. The returning A380s have been part of the refurb backlog (as per WelcomeAboard's comment below).

Oct 11, 2024, 09:34 AMI'm not sure how much consistent F demand would be coming out of ADL. I don't think it's a premium heavy route for anyone- SQ use their smallest J configuration to ADL.

Former Qantas CEO payout
Aug 08, 2024, 01:56 PMThe Board got lucky that Goyder jumped early- it gave them a cover and let the blame sit on Joyce for that astonishing unraveling which happened about this time last year (I can't remember anything quite like it in how something as bland as traffic rights was the tipping point into a great, cross...

Anyone dare to explain?
Aug 06, 2024, 11:50 AMSYD-LAX has more competition and more seats than MEL-LAX. The day you quoted may have had only a handful of seats left on those particular flights. There are literally dozens of reasons why prices may be different that are more likely than Vanessa Hudson trying to scratch the eyes out of a photo ...

Malaysia Airlines coming back to BNE?
Aug 01, 2024, 01:37 PMOriginally Posted by Bcoz Always great to see another OneWorld option out of Brisbane, especially as Qantas continues to lag behind.
