We just don't have a lot of the info required to be fully informed about this. The billion dollars, and how long it will last, depends on how their going with their fixed costs. How much can they negotiate to 'freeze' or other negotiated concessions? What impact does the jobkeeper payment...

Not by my definition - any sort of loan or financial transaction as a result of direct government intervention in private enterprise is what I mean by 'bailout'. Care package, Equity provisioning, assurance deed, public investment; these are all spin terms. A loan which converts to equity if not...

Some may find it helpful to review this. I welcome critique for omissions or inaccuracies. These are my understanding of the facts currently available, and my decision as a result; - it's certain the current restrictions and climate make large pax driven commercial aviation impossible in Oz -...

He's right about the principle of rewarding risk takers who avoid the downside of the risk by getting public funds. Asymmetry of private profit, public losses. Allowing it to happen rewards the behavior. I wonder if he would be saying the same if it were Australian banks on the verge of...

As hard as I try to get the best available information to inform me what to do with my Velocity points, as always, the info I need is buried in the future. Hold onto the points now and realise their full value for international business class flights in the future, or cash them out for...

For those concerned with QLD border movement restrictions; https://www.qld.gov.au/about/newsroom/queensland-border-restrictions?utm_source=Hero%20feature&utm_medium=Online&utm_campaign=Leave%20your%20phone%20alone...

It appears the rules are to stay in doors in one place, don't venture into the outside world, for 14 days. But the restrictions don't apply to the people sharing a house with you during that time. QLD have implemented the same measures today, so the isolation period would be mutual. This is...

what I'm chasing is the actual written rules. the state govt websites aren't as clear as I would expect

My partner lives with her family in Perth, but tries to visit me in Brisbane as often as possible, basically here is her "second home". A lot of our plans are now up in the air, but I want to understand that the actual process and solution would be to see each other again. I live alone, and...

Hi folks, Got a friend who asked me this one; No status, but have a business class flight paid for with points from PER to BNE on a Sunday departing at 10:30ish. Theres a midday flight and a 9:30am flight. They want to know if they rock up at check in at 8:30 would they get put on the 9am...

Greetings heroes, spent the the last few years accumulating a small mountain of points, and I've gone to cash them in for a J return flight BNE LAX, 20 Aug out 12 Sept returning. Turns out, things have changed since the last redemption flight I booked ... And I can't find any availability of...

Anyone know for sure how the double points offer bonus will quackulate with WP status bonus? Lets say a flight is worth 100 points. A.) Will it work as 100 + 100 (Double points offer bonus) + 100 (WP bonus) = 300 or B.) [100 + 100 (Double points)] x 2 (WP bonus) = 400 Safe flying, CB

Greetings fellow flyers; after many many sectors, I've finally managed to have a case of left-behind baggage. I left a small item in the SYD lounge and am seeking a Good Samaritan to assist in returning it to me. The item is small, about the size of carry on, is light and not fragile, but...

Turns out I was able to get them to split my 2for1 booking and then change them independently. This was all done over the phone and incurred no cost. Safe flying

Technical question: I have two return J tickets booked on 2for1 offer OOL <-> MEL. I have had a change of plans and now one of the pax will no longer need to fly the departing flight OOL-MEL. I recall there being something in the T&Cs about both pax having to travel on the same flight...

Hows the J service on the E90s usually? Do they have their own crew member serving them?

It's my understanding that you only get a limo service if you book fully flexi international J. There is no limo.

A limo service is included if you have a business class ticket by way of upgrade? And also thanks all for the confirmation of the bad news - sucks but it's good to know for sure.

I write on behalf of a colleague in the following situation: >Wants a ticket OOL->LAX via SYD, but this couldn’t be booked because staff couldn’t get the fare mapping to work >Relucantly books BNE-LAX via SYD >In Premium Economy, carry on only >Later sees cheap OOL-SYD fares on special >Calls...

How transpacific are we talking here? If you're going to the USA, everything is cheaper, and some things quite a lot cheaper, in any American tobacco or liquor shop (if your convenience permits). I remember walking into a Rite Aid (a mini supermarket) in LA for the first time and being blown...
