Traveller letters

Traveller Letters: Why do female cabin crew wear such appalling outfits?

“Female cabin crew have always been required to wear the most appalling uniforms while their male counterparts wear plain tailored shirts and trousers.”

Traveller Letters: There’s one reason we still want to support Qantas

“Our flight was turned back due to a fault, the next one cancelled and the one after that delayed three hours.”

Traveller Letters: Book with this budget airline at your peril

“When it works, it’s great. When things go wrong however, you are totally on your own.”

Traveller Letters: I was caught out by Qantas-Emirates codeshare

“I recently flew Emirates business class to Europe for $10,000-plus, but opted to put the points on my Qantas Frequent Flyer.”

Traveller Letters: I was downgraded from premium, but I had the last laugh

“I was informed by Emirates at the bag drop that my seat – for which I had checked in online four days earlier – had been given to another passenger.”

Traveller Letters: This premium economy is not worth the money

“In the air the food was poor and the toilets were shared with economy class. The only advantage was a bit more seat space and faster disembarking.”

Traveller Letters: Is it fair that costs go up after you make a booking?

I was quoted one price for motel accommodation, but on arrival it had gone up by 10 per cent and it was too late to back out.

Traveller Letters: If it’s empty, why can’t I use the business class loo?

“Surely, a common-sense approach to safety and passenger welfare prevails over exclusive, business class toileting.”

Traveller Letters: Where’s my breakfast and coffee, Qantas?

“After an overnight flight from Asia, I politely asked before landing what happened to breakfast? I was snapped at in reply.”

Traveller Letters: Budget airline-style fees in business class? No thanks

“Qatar Airways has a so-called ‘business class lite’ fare which doesn’t allow lounge access or seat selection without significant additional charge.”
