Qantas Intl NS09 Schedule Update?

[Luke Chittock]

Howdy all

Not International sched news, but a A333 will ops PER-BNE-PER rotation (QF650 0735/1355 returning QF597 1455/1820) every MON to FRI from 05APR to 15MAY inclusive.

A/c 30J/267Y config.

Regards

Luke/PER

Qantas cannot turn a 73H in 30 mins! They are normally blocked at 45 mins, sometimes 40mins.

This is because Qantas actually cleans their airplanes during every turn around. Professional cleaners, not flight attendants.

As a matter of interest, what tangible difference does that make for the pax?

Virgin Blue uses the passengers as their cleaners

also passengers are safety card sorters

this is what happened on my last DJ flight

Are you serious? Or just being a smartass?

None as long as the aircraft is clean and tidy for the outbound flight thats what the pax want and an on time departure, I like how Dave says they are professional cleaners

I find no difference between DJ and QF in terms of how clean their planes are.

What I do find a difference with is being on an old 767 versus a new 737, so in that regard DJ wins everytime

However, J class and free food/wine helps on QF

I just book with whoever is the cheapest, or when I need a boost in status credits.

Work doesn't really mind who I fly with, so sometimes I will get a slightly more $$ flight on QF simply for the food/drinks factor.

Qantas use cleaners? I am yet to see a clean domestic plane. One day I found a half eaten bread roll at my feat, some days I find peanuts, yes peanuts (I am sure someone knows the last time QF actually handed out peanuts). Other finds include week old boarding passes. I thought QF gave up cleaning anything except the bathrooms years ago.

The other day I did have to ask the CSM to swap my A330 safety card for a 767 safety card. It seems someone made them the same colour.

I flew on QF 333 an year ago and to my surprise, there were a mixture of 763/333 safety cards in the seat pockets. I wonder if it was intentional or just one big error.
