    SkyBus gone up again [Up to $23.90 one way]

    The last few times I've caught it I've had very tight connections, that have had me running down the underpass to catch the citybound train. The bus always takes ages to snake around the shopping centre. I use TripView to monitor which lets you build custom connections (covers Syd, Mel and...

    AFF Review: Thai AirAsia A320 Economy Class (DMK-LPQ)

    The onboard food and drink is definitely much better value on AirAsia(s) vs Scoot and Jetstar. I'm generally a fan of the satay sticks and cubed rice. Agree the overnight 333s are pretty horrible, though in the past I've had good luck with their Plusgrade offers both to Premium, and to a full...

    Wet races you can get unlucky or lucky. Don't think many examples where we've seen a VSC SC and Red in such quick succession.

    Very few companies use true BFOD.. given it would probably increase costs as people would fly the day before and then stay at a hotel overnight.. given BFOD could put them on any flight. And LPF can be somewhat optimised against lower frequency airlines. Eg. Give me a departure between 7.15 and...

    Qantas A330-200 cabin refurbishments

    After this upgrade I'd think in Y the 332 will be preferred to the 787 - wider seats and better IFE. New aircraft is something where Qantas haven't gotten there way with the Govt They've been lobbying for many years on and off to reduce the tax depreciation period on aircraft.

    Scams like these

    Possibly the hotel booking system has been compromised by a hacker. That said I have seen some Asian hotels doing similar, but a legitimate request. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67583486

    Article: The Surprising European Flight Delay Trend

    Yep. Think this definitely happens at the major hubs. Even cross-group. I've been on a Germanwings (now Eurowings) flight from Berlin where after a 90min delay at gate, a Lufthansa aircraft showed up to operate the flight.

    But that's where the actual facts come into it. Very different imho if Albo proactively requested something, versus say a future holiday came up in conversation and Joyce asked a staffer to look into it and they discovered that Albo was in economy/ business or had an upgrade on waitlist, and...

    I've got no-issue with op-ups being given to pollies or other status members, particularly on business. But the suggestion of a politician soliciting for upgrades on personal travel is crossing the line imho. Imagine the outcry if it was found a pollie had been speaking to Kerry or Ryan Stokes...

    Re SYD T2/T3, Sydney domestic airport, is it still walkable from either to Ibis budget/

    If anything there is less traffic at ground level due to the new airport gateway roadway. Note that P1 carpark has been razed to the ground to be rebuilt so as JohnK says quickest to use the train underpass to go between T2 and T3.

    The second incident in my mind was more like Vegas last year at the start, where Max ended up with 2 penalty points as well, even without a collision. And made worse this time by not giving back the place. That said in theory after the first incident arguably Lando should have given back the...
