Has it been refurb'd?

Don't know if it ever got certified, but feel that the butterfly single aisle convertible seat would have been perfect for this bird. Two recliners turn easily into a single bed, so QF can flip configurations as required (and sell PE on international sectors). Domestic J / Premium Economy...

Why not? If Virgin/Qatar can do it.......

What does Australia gain from giving Qatar more flight rights? Is Qatar going to give Australia anything in return? I'll expand on this later... AU-EU has plenty of competition via ME, Asia and now non-stop. Prices out of covid were stupid because demand went from 0 to 100, and supply couldn't...

The VAi structure has always been dubious, given VA itself (being allowed to have more than 50% foreign ownership) could run it by proxy. There's no way this QR wet least gets approved until an agreement is put in place for the service to be run genuinely from Australia over a period of time...

Gov might approve the buyout, but no way Virgin is allowed to wet lease those planes (long-term at least). Whilst an internation entity can run and own a domestic airline, any international airline needs to be australian domiciled. Qatar wet leasing to circumnavigate bi-laterals will come right...

I don't understand why airlines don't offer this, even in Y. Get the punters to pre-select their meals, and then you don't have to carry extras. Save some cash.

It really is a disapointing experience when this happens. Recently on a flight I upgraded with points to PE (work pays for Y only) which cleared around 72 hours before departure. Whole cabin was served in what appeared to be a random order (back and forth - on a 787 with only four rows). When...

Thanks for that. That's what I thought would be the case, but was hoping they'd have a transfer desk after customs to drop bags off rather than using the main check in desks. Cheers

Has anyone got experience flying into PER from LHR/CDG/FCO and then connecting to an onward domestic flight? Do I have to go all the way out to the curbside to check in and bag drop, or do they have a transit desk airside? Thanks

As explained above, Heritage Bank has to go through Apple/Google to get their card to be allowed on the phone. They have not, so the card will not add without an agreement between phone company and bank.

Once you've done the bridge once, Sydney is done. At least in Melbourne the attractions are constantly evolving and are repeatable.

Take flying EU to Australia as an example (via Dubai) DXB take off at 10am, MEL/SYD/BNE/ADL land at 6am. I am sleeping the first half of that flight whilst it's in daytime. Otherwise I land at 6am and my sleep schedule is out of whack. Is that not reasonable? Yes but imagine forcing everyone...

One person's want to see outside doesn't overule 100 people's need to sleep. No matter whether it's day or night outside, if the flight is longer than ~6-8 hours expect the majority of passengers to want to get at least some sleep. Can always go to the exit and look out the window which is...

Rumour on Airliners.net about an upgrade to J service (didn't specify Dom/Int). Anyone hear heard anything about it? Plenty of room for improvement.

Is there any reason why this itinerary would not be valid (stopping over in all five cities: SIN, HEL, TYO, SYD and LAX)

In this scenario, one could argue that you booked with AY from SEA-HEL and therefore, they are responsible for finding you the connecting flight between SEA-xx_ to connect to xx_-HEL. If an award flight cannot be found, then it should be a cash seat paid for by them. No different to anyone who...

A 787-10 is a different aircraft to a 787-9, so a different configuration would be guaranteed.

That wouldn't change the configuration of the A/C tho (42J/28W/166Y)

Does anyone buy the $750 red wine subscription? Have the wines substantially changed from quarter to quarter?
