Indeed - thanks for that, I checked the Expedia web site and you can click on details and the full Expedia web site will also show your fare class so it seems that getting the fare class for a prospective booking is possible there as well. So not necessary to use the Expedia App. So for...

Yep - for Australian passengers unless you live in the CNS area the VA CNS-HND makes absolutely no sense from a cost or connections point of view, especially when Australians living in places like BNE-SYD-MEL have many good options and competition with JL NH QF and JQ all offering widebody...

An anonymous blog, no publisher name, and I note on their blog that they say this: But then make these claims: (my highlighting of text that seems more opinion than fact): Pretty much all opinion with a few settled facts. And the last part there is still contestable as well, because from...

Was this subject of the airlines trying to hide their fare classes from the customers and then relying on the fare-classes for calculation of change fares, refunds etc all put into the AFF submission to the Federal Government? Its a longstanding bugbear that all these tricky T&Cs that airlines...

Agree with you that the age of the aircraft itself may or may not reflect the presentation in the cabin, as you say that QR A330 interior was dated but was still in pretty decent condition for its age, I have seen younger aircraft and/or more recently refurbished aircraft with interiors in worse...

I watched the original offending video which was actually a 2-parter CMB-DOH and then the DOH-LHR sector, both Y class reviews. I have not seen any of this YTer's previous videos, but have seen similar ones by Noel Phillips and others. Overall I thought the content of the videos was a bit...

Yeah seems peculiar that VA would want to fly to Japan but not want to do surely would be a once off fairly mundane and normal bureaucratic process to sell tickets ex-Japan. Surely it couldn't be too much of a hurdle? The fact that they haven't done so and the lack of forethought in connection...

Yeah me too, its not the nicest website to log into, and I had to reset my password once the first time, but all my retrospective claims were denied so looks like no point putting any claims in yet. Took them approx 5-7 years to reinstate something that they actually had before - so these...

Not related to Bain but it seems VA are starting to look at their Economy and Business class fare structures, particularly with concern to what corporate customers are looking for, I got this market research link and a screenshot to show their thinking, I guess they are always thinking about...

On the Jetstar A321-200neo the space where 28A and 28F would be, are rear facing crew seats with the seat having a fold up position when unoccupied by crew. These crew seats will stay unoccupied most of the flight except for takeoff and landing. As others have mentioned, seats 28B, 28C and 28D...

They need to redo that survey now, as the time scale on the X-axis does not cover the later developments of the news cycle, and Qantas's place in it, I can think of a couple of other relevant news cycle events that would be worth seeing. Certainly, the Qatar and Federal Government's decision...

Looks like the OP has their heart set on Qantas and their frequent flyer ecosystem, so might be redundant info here, but was going to suggest the same as Mattg to the OP, if they are flying Singapore Airlines and are an Australian resident, and are prepared to credit to Velocity then crediting...

Yep good point, I hadn't realised the Thai Airlines flight into SYD would leave no connection options for the OP to get home to BNE, so that's pretty impractical, options via MEL look better if flying Thai.

As others have said - the best one-stop tradeoff with schedules/duration and price and onboard product options worth considering would be: Singapore Airlines (via SIN) - best schedule, best transfer and almost no backtracking, Star Alliance Qantas (via SYD) - OK schedule but a little bit of a...

Will be interesting to see the effects on the other parts of the Qantas International B787-9 schedules, not much slack in the schedule for these already over-committed aircraft.

Will be interesting to see how they go. I think they have missed their brief window myself. All the macro's are going against them now, from interest rates, the cost of money, labour costs and shortages, loss of access to the Alliance fleet, exchange rates falling, discretionary spending and...

Yes - in 2017 banned from overflying from the shining lights and bastions of democracy and human rights that the countries of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Yemen, Libya and Bahrain are famous for.... :rolleyes: Many media outlets have also reported on people within Qatar and...

Yes but normal governments would actually use their Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in dealing with other governments, from some of the reading of the report it looks like DFAT was completely out of the loop in any decision making or even consultation. What you are saying is that...

Well a large document. Timeline of events from page 12 but from pages 24 onwards there is a discussion of the dozen or so reasons given by various Federal ministers as to why the extra capacity was not granted to Qatar, and its interesting that none of these reasons were supplied to Qatar...

Yep with the VA fleet and last minute aircraft substitutions/reliability issues its just not even worth considering inflight wifi as anything other than a "lucky" bonus if it does exist, but pretty much I plan on no inflight wifi as a given and a 50/50 flip of the coin on inflight entertainment...
