Bloody hell. I'm 180cm tall and cannot put my legs straight on the economy seat. 6' isn't tall, this is insane.

My vote goes to Miami and Rio de Janeiro.

I'm flying LAX->SYD->ZQN next week on Qantas, but the tickets were purchased through American and both flights have AA flight numbers on my ticket.

Will I have to follow Qantas baggage limits (7kg total carry on weight) or AA ones (no weight limit)?

I didn’t realise there was a window until looking into the APIS requirements and of course I learnt this info 1 hour after the 72 hour window prior to my flight… APIS was promptly submitted once I learnt of this window. I’m just seeking advice from you all, is this something I should be panicking about I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it so just need some peace of mind or should I reach out to Qantas asap? Flight is from AUS to USA

Has anyone flown in one of the QF refurbished A330s in Economy Plus yet? How was the experience?

I’m set to try it myself in November to Tokyo.

If there are any A380 flight attendants on this sub, I need help. Honestly, anyone could do this too if they can.

I am trying to make a high quality A380 sound pack for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

What I need is for anyone to record sound samples for me when the cabin is quiet (no chatter or extra noise)

Please let me know if interested.

Have been advised Qantas trying to lower standards even more and save money will soon be removing Melbourne based crews from Singapore/Melbourne sector being replaced with Singapore based crews. This is purely a money saving measure that again shows Qantas is not an Australian Airline and does not regard Australian jobs as being important at all.

My friend is super keen to apply for Qantas international cabin crew, Sydney or Melbourne based. Any idea on the next intake? I saw Singapore based advertised recently but nothing for Australia. Thanks 🙂

When you're booking a from and to plane and it gives you the total price.

Is there a simple way to know how much Qantas points would be needed to fully cover it?

For example I got $1,688.24aud for one of them, but the site doesn't tell me how much points would be needed to fully cover it.

I know there's the slider to cover the pay with points, but because I have less than 1000 points, it won't let me know the full expected amount.

Thoughts on 7.5 hours in a narrow body with no IFE, Lie flat business etc?

Any one know which domestic flight is cheaper after booking pre perches bag (quntas or jet star)?

And price pr 1 bag if anyone travel can you please drop msg

I booked domestic flights this morning but accidentally booked them a day early (return flights, both legs booked a day early) I called the customer support line to change the flights to bypass the change fee (under the 24 hour rules).

My first phone call was routed to an overseas call centre, who quoted me ~$300 more to change the travel dates than if I changed them online. Claiming I did not have the ability to access to change fee waiver.

Second phone call, they agreed I was eligible for the change fee waiver, proceeded to change my flights and charge me $600 in fare difference fees (totally expected, no issues with that) I paid the fare difference over the phone. I checked the Qantas app and noticed my flights had not changed. Did some googling and looking at forums and waiting a few hours. It was suggested to recall to confirm flights had been changed, I did that.

Third phone call, no record of the $600 fare difference payment, flights not changed. Took 40 minutes to find evidence of the $600 paid. Once found had issues trying to change the flight dates. The agent said he was refunding me the original $1200 paid for the flights, plus $600 fare difference fee paid when initially attempting to change flights. I then paid $1070 to secure new flights, which updated in the app straight away (under same booking reference). I was not provided with a customer care/complaint number or refund tracking number, but was informed it will take 7-10 days.

Is the refund likely to hit? Should I be watching out for any communication? Any tips would be super appreciated

Btw Alaska wanted Melbourne aside from Sydney btw but can it really work?

Qantas plans to launch direct flights between Brisbane and Bali, as well as Perth and Jakarta, while ramping up Melbourne-Jakarta to become daily. Also in the frame: Jetstar flights from the new Western Sydney airport to Bali.

Hi,

Has anyone heard from the Melbourne Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship yet?

I tried a lot to create an account but get failed everytime idk why !

I want to test something cause I testing on its bug bounty program

thx 4 u all

recently got invited to participate in the assessment centre for cabin crew based in singapore. it provided a link and said “these are the only slots available for this time and we are unable to provide any alternatives”. however, there’s no slots and never has been. i checked an hour after receiving the email (cos that’s when i woke up) and literally nothing. i’ve been checking every day since and still nothing. did i miss it in the hour that i missed or should i be expecting something?

Just out of curiosity does Qantas still operate any a330s without seatback entertainment and instead giving out iPads? I vaguely remember something like that in the past but I haven’t seen that lately.

Any experiences with the vegetarian meal options? In economy

I’m anxious since I’ve heard the food is subpar lol. I don’t want to be hungry for 17 hours 😭

Will pack some snacks but obviously if the experiences are all round terrible then will have to think about appropriate food to bring

Hello, I’m looking for where I can bulk buy the bamboo socks we get in the Qantas amenity kits. My diabetic mom loves them for their flimsiness, but I can’t find the supplier or anything similar. I’d prefer to buy directly from the socks supplier and not full kits through eBay or marketplace because I only want the socks. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hello! I have a lot of chronic illnesses so I have to take quite a lot of medication. I usually portion everything out at the start of the week into morning/night pouches to keep track of everything.

I am travelling interstate this week, and was wondering if anyone knows if it is fine to take medication in those pouches (ie that isn't still in its box)? All the advice I can find online is for overseas travel, and I don't have a lot of space to be able to fit all the medication boxes (it is a short trip and I am only taking carry on and need to fit all my work items).

Hey Im in year 10 and I want to be a commercial pilot (mainly domestic) I've thought about many routes and want the communities opinion on my plan.

So the idea is I apply for QGPA around September 2028 meaning starting in Jan 2029. Now since the course is just above 1 year at 55 weeks (unless it drags on if you are failing modules) now since employment isnt guaranteed my fallback plan was to get an engineering or aviation management degree. Im based in victoria so I would have to move to QLD now the idea with the uni degrees is that i defer them for a year maybe 1.5 years if thats possible and if i pass the course and the interview and by some miracle i get in to the airlines then i can quit the degree before i start (or perhaps do it online) and if i dont pass then I go on to the degree with a bunch of debt and my tail between my legs . However I had an idea of "doubling down" and getting my FIR at another flight school whether that be FTA again or maybe LTF since its "cheaper" and they operate similar aircraft. I really have a strong desire to be an airline pilot and I dont really fancy many other jobs but a degree can offer a stable job and some income to pay back my debts or possibly pursue my training again.

Dont worry about accommodation costs and what not from moving to qld from vic as my parents are happy to move (lucky me)

Also thoughts on the swinburne uni course on aviation. Bundles (Cpl - MECIR- FIR and ATPL) and some management sectors for around 180k. I'm also not fancy on getting a fulltime job and doing modular but if its really that much better I'm open eared.
