    2024 Qantas Inflight safety video

    Watched the entire video on the bus to work this morning, loved it (even shed a tear). All the people involved seem lovely and it was heartwarming to see the family in Italy and the Qantas crew families (though it struck me as odd there were so many "Qantas Frequent Flyers" and not other staff...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    They're allocated to DOH-HKT-PEN, and some BKK/RUH/DXB flights. It's unlikely QR would send a non-Q Suite 777 to Australia.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    Not even EK flies an A380 to HND, though LH uses the 747-8.

    Booking Qatar with Privilege, then changing when Velocity accepted?

    I did, in MMB. In hindsight I should have just kept the QR FF number for all flights.

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    These flights are operated by AY crew. Or do you mean QF flights to India?

    Paris (CDG) Stopover Tips

    I booked a private car to get me from CDG to my hotel in the 10th last year. It was reasonably priced and zero stress. I did the RER once, never again.

    BNE Intl Lounge Query

    Something I've done before is just check Google maps on the day I'd be travelling, so if you're flying on a Wednesday check what the traffic is like at 6am then maybe give yourself a few minutes leeway. From Beaudesert you're better off just driving and parking.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    A friend of mine flew SIN-PER in J last night (menu attached). They left an hour late, 2 ovens were broken in J, full cabin. He was in 1E and got the main 2 hours after take off. The guy next to me him told the crew after 2.5 hours he was going to sleep and don’t worry about food. The person...

    Virgin Australia introduces baggage tracking (selected routes)

    I flew LST-MEL-BNE, got the "Checked in at LST" notification shortly after check in and then about 20 minutes after being in the MEL lounge I got the "Checked in at MEL" notification. Didn't check the app after that as I was checking my Air Tag status instead.

    Return of Wifi on Virgin Australia

    I had two VA flights on Monday, one didn't have wifi, the other did (thankfully the longer MEL-BNE flight). I was in J so didn't have to pay and I streamed a movie on Prime and it worked well with only a couple of short buffers.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Haha, not quite as rowdy as a pub. Didn't have anyone behind me either so I was able to recline, it was a very comfy flight!

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    VA1373 LST-MEL 16:51-17:44 Offered the pearl cous cous with prosciutto (my choice) or a “middle eastern” salad with croutons. It was delicious, though not filling. I only realised as I was eating it that I hadn’t had anything since breakfast. PDB was half filled and we only had one drink...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF609 BNE-MEL 07:20-09:27 01/09/2023 Choices of ham & cheese croissant with tomato and spinach, fruit salad & yoghurt or corn fritters with sausage. All served with sourdough, yoghurt and a muesli bar. I chose the corn fritters paired with a mimosa which was dutifully refilled two more times...
