Qantas A380 and first class returns to Melbourne
Mar 24, 2023, 03:00 PMFrom Nov onwards, there are a number of Tuesdays that are showing A380 - sometimes only on the return leg ex-LAX, possibly allowing for A380's rotating through the LAX maintenance facility. That may well change over the coming months, but I'm currently booked on A380 one of the Tuesdays LAX-...

Qantas A380 and first class returns to Melbourne
Mar 22, 2023, 07:27 PMSure - point taken, but you need to ask why soo people are grumpy / annoyed with QF. For the price you currently have to pay, I think by any reasonable measure that should come with some expectation of a good experience; especially compared to what we mostly agree is a better experience on compet...

Qantas A380 and first class returns to Melbourne
Mar 20, 2023, 05:46 PMLooking at the schedules, it appears to be loaded currently as 4 days a week - Mon/Tues/Thurs/Sat.I have already booked in F for Nov, but this is their last chance to get it right. If I have any more poor service outcomes or last minute schedule changes, they have lost me for good. I have been ve...

El Al to launch non-stop flights to Melbourne
Mar 16, 2023, 10:37 PMYes, El Al are known for their strict security procedures, but I would rather fly with an airline that has done detailed security checks, rather than some others who are "less diligent".

QF A380s still not refurbished?
May 26, 2023, 07:39 PMOriginally Posted by rwSydney Would seem so. On QF93 from MEL to LAX at the end of June and the seat map shows the old business layout. Interestingly first class seats are also showing up on the seat map (although none are available on the date of my flight) which would mean they are not selling ...

Status credits on QF flights on Emirates planes
Apr 18, 2023, 08:47 PMI flew it a couple of weeks ago SYD-CHC and no points as yet, but on my return CHC-SYD flight late last week I got credited QFF points and SC's within 3 days. The correct QF8766 / QF8765 codeshares were showing on my tickets and boarding passes, so might need to wait a bit more before the minimum...

EK Australia to Asia Routes
Nov 26, 2022, 02:21 AMThe DXB-Asia-Australia stopover flights have not restarted on EK metal, and currently only direct from DXB-Australia. The EK and QF rewards availability to/from Australia is almost non-existent due to high demand and low supply (especially premium cabins), and not expected to change much over the...

Points for Emirates flights
Oct 30, 2022, 01:07 PMThere were a handful of EK redemption seats for non-peak travel periods, but they have mostly been snapped up. Ex-Australia, they have not released any more, which in part is driven by demand - why make a points seat available when you can currently sell it for a premium price, It's more a recipr...

Lifetime Platinum
Oct 26, 2022, 09:30 PMI am also LTG and bounce between Plat / P1, but I have also given up on QF due in part to the unrealistic LTP goal that really doesn't offer me anything I value. I get into the lounge based on ticketed class of travel anyway, regardless of any status. After repeated frustrations with QF cancellat...
