Yes, it has happened recently on a couple of days in fact - Qantas Delays/Cancellations and Qantas Delays/Cancellations

I've been looking for ex-AU flights over the last couple of days and have noticed this too. Perhaps they're reluctant to release the flights so that they can sell the seats for full-revenue customers due to the current high demand. This was the same for flights ex-BNE, CNS, DRW, SYD, MEL, PER...

Indeed, everything was just so lush and the creeks and waterfalls were roaring in the national parks.

Ah yep, I think that’s still available but nobody went for that package (the VIP tour?) on the day we went. There was also the “cage of death” ticket option which lets you get dropped into the croc pool inside a Perspex tank to get up close to the crocs. I wasn’t game to do that!

Tuesday, 27 December Flight number: QF1919 Scheduled departure/arrival: 0645/1110 Actual departure/arrival: 0704/1121 Well, it was finally time to come home. We checked out of the Hilton at around 5am and drove back to the airport. Handy hint: if you rent a car from Thrifty, *do not* follow the...

Looks like this one managed to get in before curfew!

I would have thought Brisbanites would prefer going from MCY or OOL (noting that VA are starting OOL-DPS soon) than WTB - they are closer to where the population is. Also, given that we're talking about JQ, doing MCY-DPS or OOL-DPS would be easier for JQ than WTB as they already have services...

Are these "new" CX miles earned post 1/1/2020? If so, then any value of donation should count, as per https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_IE/faqs/cathay-membership-programme/new-expiry-arrangement/how-many-miles-do-i-need-to-earn-or-redeem-after-1jan20-to-keep-my-miles-active.html If these are...

Monday, 26 December This was our last full day in Darwin. Two main things on the to-do list today: RFDS Tourist Facility Crocosaurus Cove We thoroughly enjoyed both attractions. The RFDS facility was a combined attraction that explored the history of the RFDS, as well as what happened...

Sunday, 25 December As most businesses were closed on this day, we decided to venture south to check out some of the nature parks and National Parks. We’re not really hikers, so we spent much of the time doing short (<30 minute) walks and driving between viewing points. Some of the walks were...

Apart from business classic reward availability, one of the reasons we picked Darwin as a destination was because there were sights that would be open for visitors. We were going to be in town for three days (24/12-26/12), and two of them were public holidays. We planned an itinerary that would...

Flight number: QF826 Scheduled departure/arrival: 2115/0055 Actual departure/arrival: 2152/0138 Our flight was the last QF flight scheduled to leave BNE domestic that night. Eventually, at around 2045, they announced that the last QF flight would be boarding in about 10 minutes, and the lounge...

23/12/2022: Now, time for the trip itself. We got to the airport a bit early, and (for the first time ever), decided to swing by the BNE QP and see what they had. I would usually have just walked straight past and into the Dom J lounge, but the QP was quiet and we thought we would check out...

A couple of days prior to my departure, I was reminded why Darwin isn’t as popular for tourists in wet season – cyclones. I kept the Bureau’s website on in the background for much of Thursday, checking to make sure TC Ellie wouldn’t interrupt my plans. Luckily, it passed by to the south-west...

I’ve been reading a bunch of trip reports recently, and I thought I would give one back. We have just returned from our first trip to DRW, over the Christmas long weekend. Now some of you might be thinking: “Doing DRW for the first time in the wet season? Are they mad?” Perhaps so, but I had...

If they hadn’t started cns-hnd so fast (arguable whether this is fast, but let’s run with mid-2023 being fast), then VA would likely not have been able to start it at all. There is a reasonable chance their HND slot would have been taken back if they asked for yet another extension.

Property: Hilton Darwin Status: Gold Room Booked: King Guest Room Received: King Guest Room with Harbour View - no upselling of another upgrade (but we did arrive at 2am). Two bottles of complimentary still water provided upon checkin. Rate: $202/night (flexible member rate) Comments...

A number of flights departing ex-BNE last night were delayed due to (I think) an air traffic management staffing issue (I didn't quite catch the Captain's announcement). This exacerbated the late departures of some northbound flights, as they had to backtrack before heading towards their...

RJ?

Yep, I worded my title poorly - you have described what I want to do more accurately.
