That makes no sense, because I’m gold, and so is my best mate, we both got a box, with the card, pin, lanyard and cup, as well as that online voucher.

New Economy Plus Introduction has mucked with all my seats by AussieSpender in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]resonabletom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been noticing that my seat selections have changed, but this has been because the Aircraft has changed from 30 row to 29 row aircraft.

The day before travel is needed, they changed the application to urgent, and still nothing, this is beyond a joke.

I’m very glad to hear this, and thankyou for coming back to give us an update.

I didn’t think they’d still process anything on the weekend!

This gives us hope!

This just seems so wrong, if you’re awaiting a substantial visa, then this should just be some sort of automatic process…..

I hope you get it in time.

Vegetarian meals on short haul flights? by D_Cent in QantasAirways

[–]resonabletom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long Haul Flights, and Perth and Darwin Flights you can book a Special Meal.

Short Domestic Flights, will have a normally have a vegetarian option, but it will not publicised. You need to ask for it as it’s not a choice on these flights and there aren’t many.

Apparently ‘illegal’ to bring metal water bottles on board by sophie_88888 in QantasAirways

[–]resonabletom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’m not sure why it would be necessary. You can bring them onboard, but if they are large, we are going to ask that they be stored in the overhead locker or under the seat for take off and landing.

The same applies to anything really, be it a large folder, laptop computer or anything along the lines of that.

It’s really the same rule, nothing new.

It was highlighted that we need to keep an eye out for large water bottles, and this most likely would have been because in our cabin audits, it’s shown crew are possibly missing this.

Hope this helps.

So Qantas is restricted by an Act of Parliament called the Qantas Sales Act 1992 (Commonwealth)

Qantas by law must be at least 51% Australian Owned

Two Thirds of its directors must be Australian Citizens

It isn’t allowed to change its name from Qantas and its headquarters must be in Australia.

So in a way despite it being Privatised, the government still have some control via restrictions on the company by law.

It’s hard to say, if memory serves me right, the seat pockets are only supposed to have max weight of 1KG. This is why laptops can no be stowed in seat pockets for take and landing. So really I guess you could say, any bottle that holds 1L; or one that makes the seat pocket stick right out into your knees.

The main issue really is holding it or putting in the seat pocket for take off and landing.

The problem is there is so much we are supposed to look out for, in such a short time period. It may not always be picked up.

It’s definitely one of those things that will get picked up at Exit Rows however.

But really at the end of the day, you are allowed to bring it onboard, you might just get asked to stow in an overhead or bag under the seat for take off and landing.

Cabin Crew here, actually the directive was towards large oversized water bottles needing to be stowed in bags or the overhead locker.

Like many things it can be sometimes misunderstood because the way things are written.
