Re: Travelling home with friends - SYD-ADL on a QF 737-800

Hi - good report here. Have never done that sector but the meal for the time of day looked quite good. I usually just get a biscuit, such as I like to fly in between 9 and 3 usually. ...the av-geek in me says that you haven’t logged the aircraft here. Do you like Sky Interior? It seems I rarely get ...

Re: ADL farewells the Queen - ADL-SYD on a QF 747-400ER

Hi - thank you for sharing this with us. Be interesting to see where these aircraft end up. I think the cabin on your flight looked a bit less smart than the one I flew on for my last hurrah journey -OEJ. I wonder if there is a Qantas model of the 747-400ER, would like one as a keepsake. Be interest...

Re: Bushfires & Aircraft

Re: QF to end scenic flights to Antarctica?

Understandably there's no detail as the flight approaches Antarctica or is over Antarctica. The seat-back video screens showed a very low-resolution map of the flight path, and the trip organisers have promised to send all passengers a detailed flight routing in due course; this was promised within...

I'm surprised this hasn't appeared on Air crash investigations/Mayday. It's a very unusual incident, with the remoteness of the crash causing many issues.

In fact I find it annoying when the office is too quiet! Yes, I too don’t like it really quiet for like long periods of time. Especially when it’s near lunch time and tummies start rumbling LOL.

Nice to read this flight report because I will fly this flight in the coming November as well. I am rushed to join this flight as I want to fly on a 747, rather then the 787 or 380. 747 is unique. Two questions: 1) so you don't know the seat assignment until checkin? 2) whether the flight arrived M...
