Today was the final day of the older 'N set' locomotive hauled trains from the 1980s on the Warrnambool line, which is closing for trackwork for the next two weeks, and will be serviced exclusively by newer trains when it re-opens. This means the end of the onboard buffet service and checked...

The 'head office' of that company registered with ASIC appears to be a very ordinary looking house an outer south-western suburb near Campbelltown. There's also nothing on their website that appears to be aimed at passengers, not even any information about how to book any of their taxis. I...

They completed the rollout of contactless payment on all Gold Coast bus services two weeks ago: https://translink.com.au/news-and-media/articles/704276 Although if you're needing to travel on a bus across the other side of the border (e.g. Tweed Heads), you'll find that the local bus services...

This policy change is a sharp u-turn from their view on this matter at their 2024 Investor Day Presentation... I guess that one point of differentiation that still remains is that in a few of the biggest metropolitan areas they primarily operate from secondary airports, e.g. Houston Hobby...

There might not even be many domestic flights there for much longer, as when Jetstar was last threatening to cease servicing AVV in 2015, they eventually were able to obtain a government subsidy to continue operating 7 daily flights for another 10 years...

If Victoria Police can justify having 2x PSOs at every single railway station in Melbourne after 6pm each evening, then I don't see how it couldn't be justified having an on-site presence at AVV.

I got the same offer for $40/week over 2 weeks. Won't be making use of it though as I only buy liquor when I'm overseas at much lower prices than here. Appears that you can still get 1000 bonus points if you spend the target amount in one but not the other of the two weeks.

Not related to the carrier(s) being discussed, but the discussion relating to the seatbelt sign reminds me of a flight that I had in the US last week on Delta. It was announced by the captain quite early during the flight that he would would be putting on the seatbelt sign earlier than usual...

I'm currently waiting to board an AA domestic flight that I booked using QFF points, and last night when I tried to pre-pay for a bag both their website and app gave me the attached error telling me it was not possible for that ticket, despite it being an AA flight number and not a codeshare...

I'm slightly confused looking at the missing/damaged bag claim form over at https://www.virginaustralia.com/content/dam/vaa/documents/letters-and-forms/missing-and-damaged-baggage-claims-form.pdf: The wording of 'A Justice of the Peace / Solicitor' could be interpreted to mean that VA will...

I noticed some discussion on Reddit about AMEX card holders being rejected from VA lounges during busy periods, which led me to read the applicable T&Cs, which do indeed indicate that the level of priority for card holders is relatively low: Something to be mindful of if you're considering...

There's been some information released relating to proposed local bus services to WSI: https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/current-projects/new-bus-services-for-western-sydney What is relevant to me, is that from the south-west the proposed service from Campbelltown has an estimated...

Perth residents would most likely disagree with that!

I thought for a second based on the title of this thread, that it was in relation to flights being replaced with a bus, as has occurred previously: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qantas-bus-between-syd-and-cbr.97831/

I'm well aware of that. I've been travelling on those services very regularly for several years. However if you are wishing to utilise any suburban or intercity in conjunction with a longer regional trip booked using a Discovery Pass, you must book your ticket to/from your final...

I've noticed in relation to booking connecting legs on local services (suburban/intercity trains), that if your origin/destination is one of the intercity stations from which it's also possible to book on regional services for travel to Sydney, the booking site won't offer it. For example, for...

I ended up getting lucky out in Windsor NSW on the weekend. Plenty of variable cards available, which I wasn't expecting to find in the metropolitan area.

Nil stock of the variable load Vanilla MasterCards at the store I tried this morning (Regional NSW). I doubt that they're hiding in the freezer aisle as when they have stock, these cards usually move at a pretty glacial pace at this particular location. There wasn't any there when I last...

Little bit better than some other posters received, but not tempting to me: I'm a little bit perplexed why their algorithm chose this offer for me, when the last time I spent more than $30 in one transaction was about six months ago. But I guess that I can always stack it with another...

I just got an email from them today to advise that the interest free period is being reduced from 55 to 44 days: Whilst this doesn't practically make a huge difference to me, after the devaluation a few months ago I think it's a sign that it's time to close this card and find a better product.
