Qantas inflight meals: what do you want on the menu?
Oct 09, 2024, 08:37 PMAbsolutely I do! Amazing bacon from the local farmer's markets. Comes out from Trunkey Creek south of Bathurst, brilliant on its own or as a homemade bacon & egg roll. I reckon you'd find a lot of people have bacon at cafes either on a bacon & egg roll or in a 'big breakfast' or some othe...

The hidden costs of discounted business class
Oct 03, 2024, 02:01 PM50%? When you are still getting a business class flatbed with business class meals and drinks and service? The whole 'inflight experience' is the same, except for FInnair not giving free WiFi. I can see these 'unbundled' fares should be something like 10%-20% cheaper but 50% would make zero sense...

Qantas’ big shake-up of Tokyo flights
Sep 30, 2024, 07:13 PMSeriously, how many people flying HND-MEL will want to put up with all the hassle and lost time of a stopover at BNE? Plus ANA then has to have extra crew at BNE just for the BNE-MEL leg. All the extra cost and low appeal, doesn't make sense.

Jun 26, 2019, 02:40 PMOriginally Posted by Grannular What cabin? What airline? Sorry, it would be business class. I'm flexible on the airline, it's just that having to step off a 'red-eye' flight and pretty much go straight to work means I really need to make sure I get a good sleep. I appreciate that each airline ha...
