I'm guessing VUI and VUJ will be leaving given they're the only two with the original Live2Air seats from the Virgin Blue days that haven't been reconfigured yet.

In my experience, priority baggage never works properly when I get a tag from the self check in kiosks with the black bolded priority label. A much higher success rate when the separate orange priority label is attached. I suspect the ground crew just don't take any notice of priority bags...

RQP scheduled to enter service on New Year's Day as VA819 MEL-SYD. Subject to change.

Currently enroute to Brisbane.

The flight attendant who survived was seated at the rear of the aircraft: Source: Yonhap News

Media reports are now suggesting that there are only 2 survivors, including one flight attendant. The aircraft involved was operating a flight from Jeju to Beijing 2 days ago when it declared an emergency and diverted to Seoul. Reportedly the cause was hydraulic issues.

It was in a similar state, if not worse, when I was there at the end of November. Spent over 3 hours in the lounge that day because of thunderstorms and nothing got cleared during that time. Couldn't see a single staff member making rounds. Most of the unoccupied tables had plates piling up...

Virgin and Qantas will resume services to Port Vila tomorrow. Jetstar resumes on Monday.

A220 on MEL-CFS cancelled two days in a row. Today's flight was replaced by 2 Q300 services.

It's already in rotation.

I'm guessing no. The seat maps are showing the 176 seat configuration.

VH-REX scheduled to enter service with Virgin on Friday as VA217 MEL-ADL. As always, subject to change.

Now running over 8 hours late.

Back out again today, this time operating Melbourne - Hobart.

The check in reminders I get from Virgin usually include a link.

Qatar Airways will resume daily services to Canberra in December 2025. Flights will operate via Melbourne on the Boeing 777. I assume this will replace the current DOH-MEL-ADL service, and with the VA flight, means QR will offer 3 daily flights between Doha and Melbourne. Source...

The ex-Silk aircraft pictured above are the exception. Row 3 on the new configuration is much further forward and restricts the ability to have the full length divider.

The A320s on ADL-PER have greatly reduced under the current schedules. VA712/VA717 is now a daily 737 and VA716/721 is an A320 only 3 days a week.
