I’m often impressed when European pilots make a long, detailed announcement in their own language with lots of factual details and perhaps even a few jokes - and then repeat the same announcement but in English, saying exactly what they’d just said in the other language (even the jokes) without...

Same here. The whole "closing down in 2 weeks" thing is quite bizarre.

Earlier this year, SQ improved the food, drinks and amenities it serves in premium economy. Part of the reason for this was lots of feedback similar to yours.

The benefits are outlined on this page: https://www.etihadguest.com/en/earn-miles/flying.html If you click on an airline, you'll find the status benefits listed under "Service benefits". Only the airlines I've listed above have this section. In other words, Etihad only gives status benefits...

They must need all that extra time to sift through all the offers they've received from potential buyers. :p

Yes, they do on VA (until June 2025), ANA, Air Serbia, Gulf Air and Korean Air.

Thanks for pointing this out, it's been corrected! :)

Etihad has updated its status match offer for Australian residents. The Gold match is now free of charge, you get Etihad status upfront for six months (rather than 3-4 months) and Velocity members are now eligible. No doubt on the back of Velocity & Etihad announcing the end of their...

Have added you to the list. :)

So far, the following members have indicated that they are coming: @Mattg @kookaburra75 @PrezRegan @harvyk @somebol @Sprucegoose @bussyboy @jxv and mrs jxv @Scarlett @jumpjam @shopper_1802 I'll make a booking soon with the restaurant, so if anyone else would like to come please let us know...

Jetstar has some pretty good business class fares from Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City, as low as $599 one-way or $1,161 round-trip. For those unfamiliar with Jetstar business class, it's basically a premium economy seat but you get full meals and drinks on board, as well as in-flight...

I wonder why VH-REX is currently en-route from CGK to MEL? https://www.flightradar24.com/VOZ9944/380f93be

The Amex Platinum card is good, but doesn't include the food & beverage credits at Priority Pass airport restaurants.

I'm personally a fan of Dennis Bunnik and Petter Hörnfeldt (a.k.a. Mentour Pilot, a Ryanair captain based in Andorra who makes excellent videos about air crashes & safety-related incidents).

I have been an AwardWallet Plus subscriber for over a decade. Just received this email: I still find this a useful tool to keep track of the points in my various accounts, but to be honest I get much less use from it now compared to 5-10 years ago because I've had to disable automatic login...

Thanks, have completed the course and got my "beach passport". Learned a couple of things I didn't know about rips, too.

As a new option, you can get 150 Qantas points for free by completing a 10-minute online surf safety course: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/surf-live-saving-australia-qf-partnership-points-earning-opportunity.116051/

A good strategy for domestic flyers might be to get a Citi Prestige credit card, which gives you a $36 food & beverage credit (for yourself and up to 1 guest) to spend at participating Priority Pass airport bars/cafes/restaurants every time you fly. That way, you can get a decent feed and then...

This section from VA's latest ACCC submission was quite interesting (my bolding): I wonder what was in the redacted section. I suspect it might have been talking about VA losing money when it flew its own aircraft to AUH.

Looks like the hypocrisy in Qantas' submission to the ACCC didn't go unnoticed. Virgin has included these paragraphs in its response:
