    Accor "Welcome" Gifts for Elites?

    Last stay I had at that hotel as plat they didn’t have a lounge! I have been underwhelmed by the Pullman brand in terms of status perks to the point I don’t bother with that brand anymore

    Hobart airport virtual curfew - 10pm

    The works are both on notams and as an AIP sup, there is no closure as such to RPT, facilities such as lighting etc are available with 30min notification to the duty officer. Reduced runway distances are listed during WIP, that may mean some aircraft cannot cope but it’s not a curfew and to...

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    Agree, should be worth $250k a month and supply is constrained, the particular Mexican operation has a stack of mad dogs with the majority being DC9s, she would be a bit modern for them.

    Ex Qantas aircraft have historically been keenly sought in the market based on their condition being above average compared to other options, previously due to their in-house mro operation. In the past ten years this has ceased to be the case and are now usually parted out on retirement. I...

    I think it’s testament to the care they got here during their service that they lasted so long.
