I’m trying to book a simple BNE-MEL flight in J using Avios. I get to the payment screen, do the payment verification and then get an error that the booking can’t be processed. Anyone else have this issue before? I tried to call BAEC but they operate on UK time (despite having an Australian...

There's really no argument against flying a small narrowbody on a long flight or an international flight. The question is more around which routes would be best served by an A220 or A321XLR. There are flights by SQ, FI, GF, SK, SV, TP, B6, CM, AC, TS and others flying narrowbodies on flights up...

AC fly YYZ/YUL-SEA and BT fly GYD-RIX all are 5-5:30hr on the A220-300.

An A220-300 (or -500 if launched and bought) could do ADL/PER/DRW/CNS-KUL; PER/DRW/CNS/ADL/CBR-SIN; PER/DRW/CNS-BKK; DRW/CNS-HKG; PER/DRW/CNS/CBR/ADL-MNL. But that's not why QF are getting the A220 (initially anyway).

When QF8 was operated by the 747 it was scheduled as DFW-BNE-SYD, when it was an A380 there may have been the rare diversion to NAN or BNE but with the 789 I don't recall it coming to BNE. MEL-DFW and PER-LHR are both longer than AKL-JFK.

No they don't. But if the wifi is working iMessage, Messenger or WhatsApp etc will work.

It took its first flight on May 22.

Yeah probably the best option for all of us it seems.

I'm using Edge, the website loads, I can log in, choose a city and dates but no flights are showing and I tried a few cities and dates.

International lounge access in BNE using the Aspire (My Lounge) lounge?

I haven't been to the EY F lounge (seen pics though) but I have been to the QR Platinum Lounge and from what I can see the EY lounge would've been the better option.

You’d have to add a Star Alliance FF number to that flight.

Those fares are unbelievable. But that’s what happens with a lack of competition,

QF will be flying BNE-HIR on an E190 soon.

They often do BNE-PER/ADL/CBR/MEL flights.

It was on a QR ticket. I'm not sure how it would work when you're flying on QR with VA flight numbers. As an example, I had an extra legroom seat for BNE-DOH/AMS-DOH-BNE and it would have cost me about $120 each leg to get that seat if I wasn't a OWS.

They're not VARA like the A320's though. And they aren't used exclusively in WA either.

I had my QR FF number on my booking to get lounge access, priority check-in and boarding (when I flew VA Gold didn't allow that) and preferred seat selection in Y. If you're on an A380 you can access the upper deck Y and on a 77W 19D is my pick. I also received a welcome on board by the cabin...

One point to note, the 737-700's aren't operated by VARA, they're Virgin Australia.

If you don't have OW status then no there's no downsides.
