    YUPP runs

    Directly from AA when I enquired over the weekend regarding the drastic change in some P/A fares that changed last Friday (some 300% increase)

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    I believe 2-5-2 is not possible due to the trim (weight distribution of the aircraft) plus the interior would need unique fittings which would significantly increase the cost of the new aircraft. Think of it this way, you would effectively need to stand on the aisle seat, or move right into the...

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    It was simply based on the calendar view available, and yes, it changes every day... that I can attest to after almost 9 years of standby travel in my last job. The numbers are mainly used by staff who have access to the staff travel portal to check demand etc on certain days... it offers no...

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    I just checked with my neighbours, both QF CSM's and he said he thinks staff travel will not be included in seat utilisation figures. He also logged into his magic iPad and showed me the waitlist numbers for all JQ3/QF3 & JQ4/QF4 flights for the next month, plus just as many AD75, AD90 bucketed...

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    For some reason I think that only covers revenue passengers, not staff travel. For those that travel on these sectors would understand, you usually have up to and over 25 staff trying to get on the flights most days. When I was there a few weeks ago, there were 30 pax travelling as...

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    Not likely to happen on JQ3/4 as a good time of the year they are running at close to capacity. I am also in the same problem, the 2 others I fly with are both aisle people, and I prefer a window, which was easy to do with the 2-4-2 config... 3-3-3 means we either take a risk of having someone...

    SYD-HNL $299 on 787 Dreamliner

    Have flown 1K on the JQ 787 and it was fine. As has been stated, more in line with the Y+ seating on the QF B744's and A388's Also, the IFE units are built in, unlike most of the A332's that use iPads, and I thought the lumbar support on the 787 seat was a lot better than what is used on the...

    SYD-HNL $299 on 787 Dreamliner

    That is only for the discounted Southern Californian resident AP's I usually get the Disneyland Premium passport, which sadly has gotten a lot more expensive over the past few years (used to be $479 only 2-3 years ago, now $699) and occasionally the Premier passport which is valid at both WDW &...

    SYD-HNL $299 on 787 Dreamliner

    For that trip I will be bypassing the FLounge and going to the regular Qantas Pub as I will have 2 guests Aside from a few days on the islands, I always use the JQ3/4 flights as positioning flights to the mainland. There is a reason I have held an Annual Passport to the Disney theme parks for...

    SYD-HNL $299 on 787 Dreamliner

    Yes, the 9,000pts (WP) and 45sc's each way come in nice and handy... This will be my 3rd JQ3 flight in the space of 6 months with another a few months later... As much as I like the A332's, I will be glad the 787 is on that sector. Whilst all but one of my JQ3/JQ4 flights in recent years has...

    Looking at either the 8:25am flight to LAX on AA and then connecting to either LAS, SFO or SEA or the 8:30am flight to SEA on AS It will be a few days before Thanksgiving, so late November on a weekday (I really don't want to hang around for the 2-4pm flights, if so I will just stay the night...

    Seeking opinions on the minimum connection time required to go from JQ3 (SYD-HNL) and a mainland flight with either AA or AS Based on the flights I want there is 105-110 minutes between flights I flew into HNL last month and the flight was 10 minutes early and if I recall correctly it only...

    LAX car hire

    Hyatt Regency OC parking charge is $22 (it just went up from $16 when I was there a couple of weeks ago). I stay there at least 4-5 times per year (a mix of work & play visits) and usually have the parking charge waived as a regular Diamond guest (this is not normally done, but I do know of...

    If the 767 fleet goes altogether does that mean QFI will fly A330's to Honolulu??

    Re: If the 767 fleet goes altogether does that mean QFI will fly A330's to Honolu... They used to do that, was one of my favourite flights, but it wasn't the ER If memory serves me correct, I think it was the 743 aircraft that did that sector before using it on the SYD-PER & SYD-CNS (this is...

    Whats the best USA sim card deal at the moment?

    So what speed (based on T-Mobile or AT&T for example) can be expected... A super fast 3G connection, or does it register on the phone as 4G, but connection speed is a slowed down 4G (but faster than 3G)
