    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    In the short term that'll happen but I think Nexus might end up with those government contracts in WA

    Six million people a year would use train to Melbourne Airport

    I think you'll find it will be a relatively frequent service, if a train ever actually arrives - between 0500-2200. Then probably half hourly. Whether it will run as early, or as late, as the Skybus is another matter.

    Rex to fly between Australian capital cities

    I agree with pretty much everything you say, and it really highlights how badly Rex is managed at the corporate level.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    It would be a red herring if ANA/JL/QF pulled out. But VA/JQ running in/out of CNS, inbound market is extremely important to the success of those services. Unfortunate that once again, I think VA has just found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. FNQ-JP has always been relatively...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    If you do not wish to move your dates proactively, I would wait until advice comes through via the agency hub, which will clearly outline your options. 1721628678 Actually it's just gone up, but there's no additional detail. Refund may be your only option, if travel dates are not flexible...

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    Agreed, but I'd wager a seasonal PER-ATH would sustain itself without any connecting traffic.

    30pax injured on Air Europa after turbulence

    Blaming Boeing for this is a hell of a leap.

    Rex to launch Melbourne/Adelaide-Perth routes

    Saturday rotations are a recipe to lose money, best to keep it 5 or maybe 6 weekly.

    Not if you're intending to use the Platinum credits.

    You can also call in advance, check there are available seats for upgrade, pull the trigger for a flexi while on the phone then have the agent process the upgrade.

    Etihad announces non-stop flights to Bali

    It's also on the cover of the Etihad magazine this month if memory serves.

    Fly Ahead on Connecting Flight Booking

    No, officially it must be the same routing.

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Absolutely no doubt about the transcon loads. So it's the perfect time for Rex to enter, right?

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Have a decent super fund. And don't worry about what they do. That's the whole point of having your money in a fund! On a side note, for some reason this news and looking at my point balance made me slightly anxious.

    Korean Air 737MAX8 Has Pressurization Event

    I would shudder to think of the microbial growth on such a system were it ever installed. Touching the tap and lock is bad enough...:D

    Sydney one way would surely be cheaper - get the bus or train one way!

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Agree, I think it will be a tough June/July/August. Perhaps not too much different to pre-covid but it's the first one where travel patterns will be closer to normal I think. The "catch up" trips people missed for years are not there.

    Rex to launch Melbourne/Adelaide-Perth routes

    REX should have been flying this route 18-30 months ago, they're late to the party and frankly as much as I welcome their entry no one should be surprised at the other carriers defending their position.

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Change in fleet strategy isn't really an option. Yes they decided on the MAX a long time ago and long before the "troubles" but they're stuck with it. And I don't think it's inherently a bad thing, however for timelines it does present a future growth problem. As others have said, mid-life NGs...

    Rex to launch Melbourne/Adelaide-Perth routes

    Thanks for this idea, changed my dates slightly and booked two trips, $99 each way is too good to ignore. Didn't think of this until you mentioned it so will leave the OG flights untouched until closer to the day.
