AY tech crew are dual rated on the A330 and A350 unlike Aussie tech crew who are rated on one type only. Hence they operate ex-HEL to BKK or SIN, then after 2 nights, onwards to SYD and back.

Before BKK started, the tech crew were doing HEL-SIN-SYD-SIN-HEL. I would've thought they'd do the same with BKK, ie. HEL-BKK-SYD-BKK-HEL. The cabin crew are from the respective SIN and BKK bases so each SYD trip is a new trip for them.

HBA is back in the office as of this morning.

Availability is much more of an issue on QR than BA. It's much easier to use the BA 2-4-1 than it is to get U class on QR.

There is availability that is: 1. only available online (the contact centres cannot see this inventory) 2. available to all QF channels (contact centre + online) 3. available to everyone worldwide (eg. partner programs) 4. request via robot for platinum and above

The online vs robot release quotas are different. There's plenty of times where online has U9 but the robot release quota has already been hit.

JL can be about 6500 AUD for PER-LAX/SFO/SAN/YVR return, year round.

Yes you can have multiple FF numbers in the PNR either on a per flight or per airline basis. Ask your travel agent or call the relevant airline.

It has to be done just before a departure out of Australia. It's because we have outbound immigration smartgates. If you don't want the passports linked / don't want to give the foreign passport details to ABF, that's fine, you just have to exit on the Australian passport / deal with your...

185 AUD fuel fine in each direction, plus 240.20 AUD in airport/govt taxes. Total 610.20 AUD.

MEL-LAX-MEL as a return? or LAX-MEL-LAX?

NDC bookings pay the same commission as GDS/edifact bookings.

It's because NDC is not ready for prime time by a long shot. The functionality that should exist, is basically non existent.

AY too... I've seen them open with as much as U7 which is insane on the HKG route.

Each pax is only allowed one EXST.

This is not quite correct. For taxes that are a % of ticket, eg. AU GST, Indian sales tax and others, those are still applicable on the second seat. The other government/airport per pax taxes are not applicable.

Registering before midnight UTC is fine - it is the PNR creation that needs to be after midnight UTC.

For the same reason BR only flies to BNE and for a while ages ago, CI only did BNE as well. BNE is home to most Taiwanese in AU. Similarly, UL initially only flew to MEL... because MEL has more Sri Lankans.

Even if this is booked as a single ticket, you cannot through check from QF to CX at CGK on this connection so you have to clear immigration and collect bags. CX seems to have some weird inhibitor on through checks at CGK.
