It was many years ago when ALITALIA and QANTAS used to fly their B747s between Rome and Melbourne/Sydney. So we're all very excited about this new flight. Grazie QANTAS!

Or maybe a video showing how your inbox for email inquiries has over 5000 unanswered/ unread emails? Once I burn all my QF points that I have accrued I am going to cut up my Qantas Membership Card, cancel my membership and use other airlines from here on out.

Sort out the ground staffing issues first Qantas. I’m glad there’s a third alternative in Rex flying the east coast domestic routes because it wasn’t a pleasant experience flying with Qantas recently. After that poor experience we said that we’d prefer to drive. Less hassles with delay after delay after delay.

Qantas is a good airline to travel on but I will not travel with them currently because their prices are too high , A Qantas air ticket from Adelaide to India is currently selling for $2,658 , in 2019 I travelled from Avalon airport in Victoria to India for $220 by Air Asia You can currently purchase an airline ticket from Brisbane to Melbourne for $55 which is around a 2 hour journey so why would a trip which is around 13hours cost $2,658

Why is Qantas going to reduce their Australian route timetables by 15% when currently their airlines in Australia are mostly fully booked ? Are they doing this to push up the prices because less seats means less supply and more demand for the seats and higher prices ? The prices for airline tickets in Australia currently is reasonable because of competition but on the Qantas international routes the prices are really high , is Qantas trying to do the same on the Australia routes by decreasing the availability of flights by 15% ? which was mentioned on the news this week .

You can't compare the 2. Air Asia is a budget airline. Qantas is a full service carrier. Qantas will always be more expensive. The number of hours on a aircraft has little baring on the price.

@@VW_Fan Both airlines use the same amount of fuel and are actually the same brand of aircraft and both have the same level of staff aboard if the difference between two airlines is one has free meals and there is a difference in price of $2,200 because one gives free meals , then I would rather do without the free meals because $2,200 can buy lots of food and mostly likely the food that Qantas includes in the fare would cost them less than $15 wholesale . I know you expect to pay more for a better airline but sometimes paying the difference is not justified in what you get in return ,and when you get off a cheaper airline you have much more money in your pocket to spend on other things on your holiday . I have travelled on Qantas and their meals and service is good but I now would not waste my money by paying their high prices which they are currently charging because they have less competition on their Australian international routes . I went to India from Australia earlier in the year by Qantas and I hope to go back to India as a tourist in less than two weeks time by a budget priced airline and I will be paying around $200 instead of paying Qantas around $3,000 because the airlines fares are starting drop again after the Australian school holidays have finished . The number of hours on an airline does have a barring on the price that is why Jetstar which is part of Qantas can offer fares from Brisbane to Sydney for only $55 but the couldn't do it on their international routes .

Also do Sydney to London via Darwin. Develop the top end Airport to cater diplomatic travel from UN agencies in USA and Europe to reach Dili via Darwin. The flight is also useful for US troops and their families based at Darwin. Develop Darwin to Dili links with smaller aircraft. Improve Darwin Airport so there are hotel rooms at the airport for transit passengers. Darwin seemed to have been ignored for a long time.
