  11. Last July, Qantas leaked private information of 4 million of its customers after a hack.

    The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner has just published its inquiry into that. Apparently it's all fine. Qantas holds your details for seven years, but that's fine. The data was "vished" (voice social engineering), and they really couldn't have done anything more. It's all just fine. Nothing to see here.

  13. So, I've received an email and a text message about a class action against #Qantas regarding flight refunds during COVID lockdowns.

    The emal and text are from #EchoLaw

    It would appear then, that #Qantas has breached my privacy by sharing my information with this law firm.

    So, yeah....

  14. Nice piece about a Singapore restaurant beloved by Qantas crew:

    "The closure of Fatty’s is a significant moment for thousands of Qantas crew, who had dined there during a working layover. The relationship between the unassuming eatery and the representatives of a global airline was born during World War II, when the owner and his son would smuggle food parcels to Australian and British Prisoners of War.

    "Many of those POWs became commercial pilots, and thanked Fatty’s with their loyal patronage post-war. Eating at Fatty’s became a pilgrimage forged into company folklore with every subsequent crew passing through Singapore for decades to follow."

  15. Is this for real??

    $1,900 ONE WAY Melb to Brisbane business class, in the middle of the day in the middle of the week.

    What? #Qantas #pricegouging

  16. This is the one problem about those extra-long non-stop flights, you might have to land somewhere unexpected if fuel runs low.

    "A Qantas flight from London to Perth has been forced to make an unexpected landing in a West Australian mining town after running into headwinds without enough fuel to complete its planned journey in one go.

    "The 17-hour flight, QF10, was scheduled to land at Perth Airport at midday today, but instead diverted to Karratha Airport, about 1500 kilometres north in the Pilbara region."

  17. You know what's really great? When an airport provides tables with outlets at the gates for people to work at and charge their devices, and the outlets work for a few seconds when you plug in your charger and then stop working. Yeah, that's really great, top marks, 10/10, no notes. /s

  18. Qantas Airways is betting that science can make the world's longest flights feel less punishing — unveiling plans for a "wellness zone," extra legroom and animated lighting on its non-stop Sydney-London services. japantimes.co.jp/business/2026 #business #companies #australia #qantas #airlines #aviation

  19. Good flight that, a bit of turbulence but arrived half an hour early due to tail winds. Good to be home!

  20. This flight's hot meal choice was chicken chipotle with rice. Very good! Nice to see airlines being brave with flavour nowadays.

  21. I'm on the flight home to Melbourne. No luck re my upgrade request via points, but I did end up with the next-best thing: an empty seat next to me (aka Poor Man's Business Class). Also the bonus of an empty seat in front of me (so no one reclining into my space).

  22. I like how at Perth Airport's Terminal 4 they scroll between the destination name and the relevant First Nation Country. Nice touch.

  23. @VeroniqueB99
    Yeah. I am contemplating a new email address, only advising a very limited number of people, and closing me current account.
    Too many contacts for a now #RetiredGuy and my address was caught up in the #Qantas data breach. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  24. #TechIsShitDispatch
    I'm flying to Australia in a few days. Qantas sends me email encouraging me to (among other things) confirm my baggage allowances. To do that, I click the "Manage Booking" link in the email. I get this.
    This error happened in Vivaldi. I tried to access the page in Firefox and it worked.
    There's no excuse for this. I'm not using a VPN, not doing anything else suspicious. #Qantas and #Akamai just suck.

  25. Der erste Airbus A350-1000ULR hat seinen Jungfernflug absolviert. Das Flugzeug soll Nonstop-Flüge von Australien nach Europa mit bis zu 22 Stunden Flugzeit ermöglichen. #Airbus #Qantas winfuture.de/news,159111.html?

  26. Hello from in the air. The pilot has chosen to fly a big curve below the Great Australian Bight to avoid turbulence, so we've only just regained wifi connection (it's land-based). Looking scenic out there. I rarely sit in a window seat, so this is a bit of a novelty for me.

  27. Airbus completó el primer vuelo de prueba del A350-1000ULR, un avión diseñado para operar rutas de hasta 22 horas sin escalas. La aeronave será utilizada por Qantas para conectar Sídney y Londres de manera directa a partir de 2027.
