Don’t normally and up on QF but have been recently. What’s the story with changing seats in the app after checkin? Is there a set time they cut it off? I found I could switch seats like 45-60 mins prior to departure in the app which was an easier way to secure a few seats vs paying the...

I spoke too soon in the other thread. March next year . I somewhat believe this would be a deal with the Victorian Government considering the last Avalon deal is expiring, and that big terminal is sitting idle. The last 10 year deal with Labor ends this year. I wonder where the bilaterals are...

Today they release FY25 results to the market listed as ASX:VGN. Webcast will be at 1030, Presentation will be released to the ASX within the next hour. Numbers had been forecasted in the Prospectus, not sure if we will see any further announcements today in regards to anything else ie more...

Likely too much capacity as Jetstar previously have come and gone on the route, they have just put a A321N on the route which increased seat count very recently.

I’ve noticed lately that performance has been getting a bit average. In the last month I’ve been burnt three times by 2x 2hr delays and a cancellation. All engineering related. I note some parked in BNE being used as parts in the interm, and most weeks seems like we have a return back for...

I see BA SIN-SYD diverted into Melbourne yesterday and remained on the ground no doubt as crew ran out of hours. Apparently BA left pax in Melbourne and said find your own way to Sydney. I thought they might have arranged QF to pickup the pax. Surely this is not the case? I find this pretty...

VH-VKE wing tip has impacted a Hanger in Melbourne so expect chaos on the International front for a while it they need a new tip from Seattle. MEL-HKT cancelled today.

Finally. Only 4 weekly from October 1, and all other Sydney flights will get the next gen 787, combined as 10 weekly. Melbourne will gain next gen 787 in Feb when Sydney goes all A350. Now we just need Perth or Brisbane to return.

I’ve noted this week they are sending the -800 into ISA. Test for permanent ops?

HNL now HTI. From last week October. Seems like it’s going to NJS. I wonder if AYQ is next, seems like a logical A220 route.

Certainly interesting watching this market shift over time, likely hard now offering a low cost carrier product to what is a now a very high cost destination. I remember the old days flying on the return for free sales on the Airbus A330. Brisbane to Honolulu was one we did.

Attached. Better than nothing, however updating early 2000 build 737s in 2027 isn’t great planning. I really wish they did this last decade. On the technical front, I can’t say I’ve seen any operator upgrade 737-800s with new bins, walls. I know Delta did something with its old A320 fleet...

Next week Etihad is announcing 10 new destinations. Been a few rumours around the traps that Perth could be returning. With the news that the Virgin codeshare is now coming to an end, I am somewhat skeptical that this might occur. The promo image they have released is most certainly a WA beach...

Talks are underway apparently. Melbourne only. Bonza had around 60% loads on the Melbourne run, however JQ has better reach so I think would crack that 80% mark. Bundaberg-Melbourne was often another Bonza success story. Hoping they might look at this one also. Link Here

Small sub fleet of A320N is coming through, looks like about half a dozen over the next few months. Not sure where they are planning on flying these smaller buses.

I assume the CHC flight will be operated by a Cairns based A321N. Hopefully not a red eye. https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/jetstar-heralds-new-qldnz-routes-with-fares-from-215/news-story/ceb6e1e10908bdec48dfc9f886e80698?amp&nk=eb67f3847214b632f251e1f5153f019e-1719148007#

Few hints here, and he mentioned SEA in general then pointed out HKG. Might be an A321Neo route? https://www.cairnspost.com.au/news/cairns/cairns-airport-ceo-richard-barker-hints-at-new-airlines-routes-to-come/news-story/ef3b2b3148a9637719407a4078c05a40

I think QR are certainly concerned that players like Turkish will gain a stronghold of the market, so we are back for round 2. Historically, in the last decade, they have been given 1/4 to 1/2 of what they asked for. I don’t expect them to get 28 frequencies here, but perhaps 7 or 14...

Noted this on reddit and another site doing the rounds, seems to be confirmed as legitimate from Thursday. Someone mentioned that it came in close contact with a helicopter tracking to the pad. CASA have a 5.5km rule with drones/airports, in this video, looks about 400m from the runway.

With the ever expanding fleet of A321s, I’m noticing more ‘within 24hr’ window downgrades due to lower loads. My last two flights I’ve counted about 190-200 seats on the map the day prior, and both had been downgraded soon the night prior. The guy at checkin confirmed they will switch them...
