When I pull into Hobart Airport to drop off my hire car, all signage is clear and the car rental offices modern and easy to find at night. These improved experiences are part of the airport’s $200 million upgrade project. It feels like I’m about to board a flight to somewhere like Singapore, but instead it’s a quick hop across Bass Strait. Not only has the terminal doubled in size, but the existing space feels mor
Premium class for half the price of Qantas – just don’t choose the seat I did (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s a calm Sunday evening at Sydney Airport. There’s a queue at check-in and no priority line for Premium Class.

Those paying top dollar also want the greatest convenience: non-stop flights or the speediest transits, adding to the challenge. With points, flexibility is a must – as is thin
Despite conflict, epic Qantas non-stop Europe route is still flying (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s a busy Thursday morning at Fiumicino Airport, but Qantas check-in is peacefully quiet. My suitcase is promptly tagged to my final destination, Melbourne, and I’m reminded to collect the bag in Perth for customs clearance before dropping it off again.
