    Latitude 28 Degrees $8 per month starting September 2024

    That's incorrect, both wise and revolut have an Australian banking license, operate as a bank in AU jurisdiction, and the money is equally guaranteed as any other bank.

    Rex Administration - implications for Virgin Australia

    Has VA raised prices already? I was looking SYD-BNE for November, and noticed everything is really expensive, around $200-$300 for choice one way.

    Latitude 28 Degrees $8 per month starting September 2024

    I think this credit card has become redundant thanks to revolut/wise, and this is their latest iteration of trying to find meaning. I will close mine, I think it's in no way worth it now, and already the highest interest rate by far of any card I have.

    shorter economy or longer business?

    I would always pick business, regardless of how much longer it is. 1. Longer = more free food and alcohol. 2. Business class means you can work (or watch tv or whatever) while you fly and in the lounge, meaning no time is wasted. 3. Sleep, as you said. Overall, unless you absolutely must...

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Great - so my point has nothing to do with this, what I am saying is that they are using the seat-belt sign *much more* and *far more unnecessarily* than before. There is no scientific nor technical nor regulatory definition of when and how the seat belt sign should be used - it is entirely...

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Are you saying previously they didn't favour safety? Surely not. Surely they would not, not put the seat belt signs on if there is a known risk of turbulance? Well in fact turbulence is not 100% predictable - far from it, so in fact if you want that, then the seat belt sign must always be on...

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    That has nothing to do with anything, you can never guarantee 100% that nobody gets injured - it's not possible, and nobody is asking whether anyone should or should not get injured, the point is what is the tradeoff between what length of suspension of services vs service quality. What you are...

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    There is nothing to know - there is no right or wrong answer, every airline will have it's own approach, and if SQ becomes known as the airline of poor service because the seat belt sign is always on, pax will take their business elsewhere.

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Hindsight is 20/20, the only way to be truly safe is to lock everyone in carnival-ride style at the start of a flight and keep them that way, nothing less than that will guarantee safety in the event of unexpected turbulence. Now I'm sure you would agree that solution is too extreme, and we...

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Yeh so what do we do? Since you can't predict it, what's the point of pausing service all the time? Surely good service should be the priority.

    Revolut v Wise

    I have both, but I primarily use revolut - I really love it for travel, and the metal can more than pay for itself, especially if you spend a lot of time overseas.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - How will Virgin Operate it? [CNS-HND flights ceased Feb '25]

    I guess now most of those VA pax will go to ANA and they'll benefit the most. What's weird is, if ANA peaks at around 80, why are there no reward flights to be found in Jan/Feb.

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Man I would be so pissed off - food is like half the reason I fly SQ! I flew BRU -> SYD a month ago, and in my view they were unnecessarily cautious about pausing service all the time even when there's the tiniest amount of turbulence. Was this the case on your flight, or you think I guess it...

    Global CrowdStrike IT outage impacting airports and more

    I wonder how JQ services will be impacted tomorrow, what about all the flights they have to make up?

    Qantas eying flights to Chicago, Seattle, Las Vegas & Athens

    They may as well announce flights to the moon - how silly. The ambitiousness of their media announcements is inversely proportional to the quality of the offering lately.
