    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    Schedule wise i think they've stopped anticipating the return of the 380s early so i don't think they've got any problems there. The real question is the bird likely last in line is OQL needing a cabin refit. Would they make the call to adapt it to the 350 fleet?

    Hopefully you'll get your flights sorted soon. Don't forget to potentially look into hotels as well if hes not necessarily looking at staying with the relatives.

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    TIL that if you combine the right Y and J/F segments you can save on the cost of the overall cost vs just straight booking the premium leg. Ehat an interesting program to go the long way and save.

    Pier "Day Rooms" at HKIA

    I chilled in one in May after a relatively early morning flight from Taipei. Found it pretty good place to nap.

    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    Hibiki 100th if you're not sure. The resale on it is crazy right now.

    The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

    Speaking of PC sweet spots, the new DRW SIN routr is primed for it. I think you can get away with MEL - BNE-DRW-SIN but the timings don't work out as great. Just regular MEL - DRW - SIN would be a solid earner granted you ditched an a330 and MEL F lounge for an A220.

    Sydney Airport announces overhaul for T2 Domestic

    I do think they can probably build and renovate something with the heritage building to connect the two (and possible add some more gates if needed). Although it'd be awkward to serve as QF lounge space given the distance away from the rest of their flights. Perhaps maybe AMEX or Priority Pass?

    Sydney train strike from Thurs 21 Nov, 2024

    Yeh but they can at least have the metro running and possibly rustle up more buses in preparation. It wouldve been asbolutely brutal this weekend with no metro, multiple A league games and Pearl Jam on.

    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    This is JAL (JL) not Qantas. They don't have any new HND slots. (1 slot for JAL, 2 for ANA all used on SYD - HND)

    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    Slightly off topic, but anyone fathom why JL774 (MEL - NRT) would rdmly have half a week in June 0'd out? Mon Jun 16 - Available Tue Jun 17 - 0's across the board Wed Jun 18 - Available Thu Jun 19 - 0's across the board Fri Jun 20 - 0's across the board Sat Jun 21 - Available I wonder if...

    JAL Taxes

    I think that's subjective. In terms of flying Aus - JP, the taxes are indeed exceptionally high and only good value in F imho. J is definitely decent, but personally I don't think the surcharges are quite worth it. JL J isn't leaps and bounds ahead of other airlines (Qantas included), their Y...

    Sydney Airport announces overhaul for T2 Domestic

    I'm fully aware and use it extensively myself, but it is hardly ideal nor seamless. The space in between can be turned into something a lot more streamlined and useable rather than having to use the station connection.

    Sydney Airport announces overhaul for T2 Domestic

    I don't expect airside, but hopefully they can do something proper in the bulldozed carpark in between.

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    IIRC OW code shared flights on non OW operators (aka QR code on "VA" service) will not have the same lounge access.

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    So it becomes a question, why was it in there in the first place? We probably won't know the answer to that and can only speculate but regardless this has definitely put in a dampener on their application from all parties interested, be it the public, ACCC, VA's existing partners etc.

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    The problem i can forsee is that they let the cat out of the bag. Even if they go through on a 25% without the exclusivity clause. Everyone saw their intentions and initial submissions. It's not as if this is a one way street. For all we know right now SIA could be looking at (or might not...
