Flying a lot for work lately and trying to plan my transits better. Brisbane domestic is usually my favourite because it feels less chaotic than Sydney T3, but Melbourne has some decent food options. For those who practically live in these lounges, which one has the best setup, quietest corners, and most consistent coffee?

Flew from Sydney to Denpasar the other day on QF43 in business. First time they didn’t offer PJs through the cabin. Has policy changed in any way in the last 12 months? Six hour flight no longer eligible or has it become “you have to request them”?

After significant delays to departure times from 130pm onwards, the flight was eventually cancelled around 6pm. Does anyone know what caused the delays and ultimately cancellation?

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if all Qantas A330-200s now have Wi-Fi fitted, or if it still depends on the specific aircraft?

Also, does the Wi-Fi actually work on international legs now, such as Brisbane to Los Angeles, or is it still mainly available on domestic/trans-Tasman routes?

Trying to work out what to expect before flying.

Cheers!

I’m flying from Japan to Wellington with a layover in Brisbane, all on Qantas Economy. I was just looking at their baggage policy and realized it says Economy passengers only get one carry-on item (no separate personal item), and there’s also a carry-on weight limit.

I’ve never flown Qantas before, so this caught me by surprise. I’m used to airlines where you can bring a carry-on suitcase plus a backpack or purse as a personal item, and I’ve also never had my carry-on weighed before.

For those of you who have flown Qantas recently (especially if you flew internationally and on economy), how strictly do they enforce the one-item rule? Do they usually make people combine a backpack/personal item into their carry-on? Also, how often do they actually weigh carry-on bags?

I’m just trying to figure out what I should do. I’ve already paid for an extra checked bag and would really like to avoid paying for another one if I can. We’re a family of three and are relocating to New Zealand, so we’re traveling with a lot more luggage than we normally would.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you so much!

Hoping for any help getting tickets issued.

I purchased flights from LAX-SYD-WLG on June 10, and did not receive a confirmation number. After calling several times, was issued a confirmation number, and the app and website show my reservation is confirmed.

Got an email today that the SYD-WLG flight was canceled, and I would need to call to get the flights changed.

When I spoke with the representative on the phone today, he told me that I do not have tickets (they haven't been issued), and he can't change the flights unless I have a confirmed ticket. He said he could cancel and rebook the tickets, but I'd have to pay the (substantial) fare difference.

I just discovered that my credit card was never billed (it was a pending charge that was ultimately reversed), but I still have the 'confirmed booking' and reservation number. Since I'm American and hadn't updated APIs, I did that today, and am hoping that helps with issuing tickets.

Any suggestions to get this ticket issued at the original price, so that I can get it switched to another flight (because of the flight cancellation by Qantas)? Or am I out of luck?

Im at the airport for the first flight. Do I need to pick up my luggage when I get to Sydney? Got them all on one ticket and there all say oneworld. Does my luggage go straight to Brisbane or do I need to pick it up at Sydney? First 2 flights are American Airlines and the last is quantas

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has received the 120k sign-up bonus for the Qantas Money Platinum card?

I've spent over $6.5k, met all the requirements, and paid everything off on time. How long did it take for your points to come through? I'm trying to book my flights ASAP.

Update: I have received my 120k point fking cheering now 😂

I am flying into SYD from BNE on a QF domestic flight and will be connecting to JL for SYD-HND. Will QF let me use their shuttle between T3 and T1?

Edit: Under one ticket issued by JAL (131 stock)

I’m trying to book SYD to LAX return at the end of the year but looks like QF11 is changing to a daytime flight and QF12 isn’t even available on Mondays anymore. Does anyone know if this is a forever change? I really loved being able to work during the day then jump on the evening QF11 flight and wake up in LA 😭

I’m applying for maintenance apprenticeships and I’m seeing the Network Aviation Apprenticeship. Could anyone give insight to what that actually is?
