Noted this on reddit and another site doing the rounds, seems to be confirmed as legitimate from Thursday. Someone mentioned that it came in close contact with a helicopter tracking to the pad. CASA have a 5.5km rule with drones/airports, in this video, looks about 400m from the runway.

With the ever expanding fleet of A321s, I’m noticing more ‘within 24hr’ window downgrades due to lower loads. My last two flights I’ve counted about 190-200 seats on the map the day prior, and both had been downgraded soon the night prior. The guy at checkin confirmed they will switch them...

To celebrate the new uniform launch, Complete the game, answer the question and win a $20 voucher. https://jetstarmorestarsthanever.com.au/

Highly overdue, but looks good, replacing a very stale current uniform so anything would be better. Pilots going from Black to Blue which I don’t believe anyone has, I recall the initial Tiger Airways uniform was blue, everyone else is black...

Is it just me or does this company have major operational issues at the moment? Delays all over the place, cancellations everywhere. With ground, crew and pilots threatening strikes soon, seems like it might be best to avoid this carrier in the near term. Rex have claimed they have a 0%...

The day has come. Further adds to the confusion around what this airline actually is and stands for. Rows 6-9 $14 (LH Dom $17) ($22 SHI) Rows 10-12 $9 (LH Dom $12) ($17 SHI) Rear- Free (woohoo!) Tokyo $25/$20 Gold/Plat apparently free. If someone can dummy test and let us know, I let my Gold...

It appears VA has made changes to the October to March schedule. Had 6 bookings in that time, just got 6 emails. I assume they are pulling back capacity this peak season.

Pretty full on video. I am fairly certain the Aviation regs say you must comply with crew instructions. Not negotiate with crew the instructions. I had this on a Jetstar flight recently when two passengers refused to take new allocated seats due to aircraft downgrade. I am fairly sure regs also...

I returned a AVIS rental last month. They never charged me. We did return it early (like a week early) due to funeral so perhaps that threw the system off. The girl in the carpark reviewed the car, all good, however sent us to the counter to discuss options for a refund. The line was huge so I...

I’ve got a bag probably 28kg. Total gold is 46kg, however classed as x2. Would the heavier one bag be all good? Never tried this before.

First time I’ve seen this one. I notice all flights on this day are being sold at $700 and if you try to book a few dummy seats al flights are sold out. I was pushed from an arvo to morning flight when they consolidated from 5 to 3 daily fights with the QF capacity pull backs. Overbooked and...

We now have one giant lemon of a international terminal (taxpayer paid how much again) which will probably never get used again. https://newsroom.airasia.com/news/airasia-x-adds-three-new-key-routes-to-australia-and-new-zealand

https://au.news.yahoo.com/boeing-boss-warns-over-risk-041214578.html No trade secret that the -10 will either be very late, or completely pulled. Doubt VA will be getting it in 10 months as planned. Some analysts looking at a 12 month delay even if things go perfectly, looks set to slip into...

From what I have heard all flights in and out DRW cancelled until the Weekend. I assume they are facing some serious crewing problems?

Appears the ABC has uncovered some more data and will report tonight on 730 as well as the below article. Seems incredibly detailed. Reading an article yesterday, it appears the MAX10 is in all sorts of trouble trying to get certified. At this stage it appears unlikely in its current form...

Sure is one heck of a turnaround. Still has a long way to go I think, many things to cleanup and fix, however when was the last time they actually made real money? 10-15 years ago? https://australianaviation.com.au/2022/06/hrdlicka-says-virgin-doing-at-least-as-well-as-qantas/

Hmmmmm 🧐 Star Alliance? New Uniforms? New Biz? Transcontinental Biz? New Livery? 787? https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/virgin-australia-launch-teases-a-new-era-of-flying

I was booking a flight for this coming week, and was shocked to see MEL-OOL and even SYD-OOL 14 flights daily. They are the biggest operator on each route. I assume trying to drive out Rex.

Looking at some rentals for next year, and prices are through the roof. You notice it when you are a regular user in say 2019, then after 2 years now start looking again. Like $200 a day. Having a look next month, Corolla in Cairns for $150 a day. Even Feb is the same. Gold Coast in Feb $130...

I heard on 3AW drive that the Airport are removing the security and escalators etc. So they expect you do exit the terminal, walk down to T4 and enter down there? Is this for real?
