    To Europe via Manila

    Good start! PAL have better timings but I am not sure if the A321 is a favourite from those that try it. An acquaintance of mine caught the return on the weekend, a mechanical issue meant 5 hours in the gate area in the early AM, that would push my buttons

    Emirates Cancels Singapore to Melbourne Flights from 30/3/25

    Same for the SIN BNE flights before they cancelled them, not attractive for the locals and three hop from Europe vs two with SQ and QF

    Flybuys Points Delays - Reddy Express

    They were in so much hurry to divest themselves of the Cole’s infrastructure and POS I am not surprised there are issues.

    Indeed the Quantum of the Seas had an early departure on the weekend to SCU from off K’gari thanks to a cardiac condition, only option is a winch off the foredeck

    Room category codes

    Accor doesn’t do upgrades, hotels do, and a quick look at various threads on elite experiences proves upgrades are possible, maybe you need to get a little bit more experience in the program: Sofitel Beverly Hills - Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Lowest category...

    What cheeses me off

    Cash out doesn’t help at all, in fact it makes it worse. Most stores now have a requirement to “drop” $50 & $100 notes as soon as you get them. Cash in the till should never exceed $300-500 in total so when you get a cash out customer, you will often need to get change to top up the till. The...

    What cheeses me off

    As do petrol stations, supermarkets, liquor stores etc. My local servo is paying $70000 a year to get change delivered and the note readers emptied then balanced. That not counting the opportunity cost of having $100000+ of cash out of action in that three-four week period. No different to BPay...

    What cheeses me off

    That is true, even cash costs! Would love to see Lattitude setup a payid option, something like [email protected] where you could get instant payments credited in real time. And their authorisations don’t drop off as per the card provides timings. Overall their tech is very average, but...

    What are the requirements for the flight dispatcher job in Australia?

    We don’t have dispatchers in Australia. We do have flight operations roles and these are frequently advertised Jobs Most would require in depth knowledge and experience of Australian conditions and regulations (such as CASR Parts 119 and 138 respectively) to the extent any overseas...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Not really, recent decisions have included AVV in wording because of its proximity, OOL not the case, neither is Wellcamp, WSI is very much an AVV scenario

    Anyone having issues contacting the virgin Australia contact centre?

    Sounds like an issue on their end then with their call routing system. Inbound numbers which is what the industry calls 13 and 1300 are managed by a number of different platforms and while you say you have not had issues with 13 numbers in the past, there was the possibility you just hadn’t...

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Kind of ironic that the former Transport and Main Roads HQ has parking issues, kind of sums up Queensland really, rather than build it and they will come (looking at you WA), it’s a case of boast about them coming then build it if you must! Parking at most Accor options is problematic in Brisbane.

    Anyone having issues contacting the virgin Australia contact centre?

    You may have some sort of incompatibility with you carrier and whomever provided the VA 13number and/or their phone system, did you try +61 7 3119 7089 which would be the endpoint the 13 service is pointing to? I have seen all sorts of weirdness with 13 numbers, often related to poor setup or...
