Any view on QF J lounge at SIN as LTG on early morning flights. Can you access it the day before (noting lounge seems to close at midnight at present) Arriving at 10pm with SQ which is too late for any SE Asian connections, so wondering if I could get lounge access for an hour or so if I book a...

PE varies considerably on airlines (and I treat AirAsiaX, Scoot And JQ Biz) as PE. The main difference to me is in the food and inclusions. For some (like Qantas and Jetstar) it's Business class (different food) with metal cutlery, though normally single tray. For others (Inc AirAsia, Scoot...

Booked long enough in advance, not hard to schedule in and flex bookings around it. Although at least the first flight seemed to have the normal QF1 operating near simultaneously.

Going OT But Global Aviation has reportedly hired HiFly to operate their aircraft... You know the same one that HiFly decided wasn't viable to spend the money on the required refit.

Agreed. Some interesting background to some of the founders. They seem to have followed part of the Warren Buffet playbook in buying an insurance company and then rather than investing in safe assets, chasing higher yield. Albeit these guys seem to specialise in investments in loss making entities.

Checking flightaware no movement of any of the aircraft today

Indeed EU style rules can make bumping more common. As the airlines run programs to minimise payouts - which might been bumping multiple pax in a cascade, rather than having to payout.

If you pay them enough $$s anything can happen. And this regular customer pays up.

Can't say I've heard of Lemon.. anyhow searched Fiji for a future trip, and nothing. Might stick with Flexiroam or Airalo.

Just the usual one hit wonder poster for me.

From airliners.net and flightaware none of the planes have moved this morning. VH-UIK is in MEL VH-UJK is in OOL VH-UJT and VH-UKH are in MCY The Flair branded aircraft C-FLHI is also in MCY and did a short loop flight yesterday.

It seems the lessor was separated/ split from 777 Partners in 2023. https://www.aipcapital.com/aip-new-global-aviation-asset-manager/ And then shareholding changed again this month (10 April 2024) https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/aip-capital-announces-formation-phoenix-163300836.html

Interestingly at the same time 777 Partners have now lent £200m to Everton FC in the UK, who they have been trying to buy. https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/everton-loans-777-partners-exceed-200m-fresh-injection-capital-3030818 777 also have an investment in the Melbourne Victory, who Bonza...

Nothing guaranteed with bidding. And AirAsiaX Economy isn't great.

Qantas never had A380 major maintenance done onshore.. a fleet of 10/12 simply wouldn't justify the investment in the hangars etc. Plenty of minor maintenance and line checks will still be done here. And at this time of the year (generally a slow point for Aussies travelling) you'd expect 2/3...
