OT, but does anyone here play Airlinesim? It's the most in depth airline management sim that I'm yet to come across and I find it extremely addictive. I'd be keen to see anyone else is playing, and if so which "world" they're playing in... www.airlinesim.aero

My last few years worth of Australia-Europe travel have all been on Finnair, with QF between PER and HKG or NRT, although now SIN is also an option. I always really enjoy the service and the longhaul onboard product in Y is great, except for the extra costs for alcohol after meal service. They...

Wow, I made it to the end of this thread! Thanks to the 2 hour time difference allowing me to catch up to thread frontier. Firstly, I'll also thank Red Roo for starting the thread and being so active in the discussion, not to mention diligently repeating responses for those who had not followed...

This has always been controversial. The local authority, who would ordinarily have planning control of the area, did not support the site being used for a brickworks but since it's Federal land BGC were able to get around that. It's really an unsuitable location and the use is conflict with most...

Not sure about the new bird yet, but good to see that VZL finally made it out west for the first time yesterday! Even operated up to PHE according to The QANTAS Source - the independent, impartial guide to all things QANTAS.

Lucky for him dinner is with the client, but it certainly looks like he may be having quite the expensive breakfast with that $50 voucher...;)

I don't think I can make it tonight either, and word on the street is that missafternoondelight has had to deal with a pet emergency so she's not looking likely either... It just isn't coming together, is it?

Another drinks meet sounds good. I should be in town on those dates and at this stage any is fine. Keep us updated.

Jetstar could always go the other way, like AirAsiaX. I wonder how well D7 does with it's "Premium" class. They're the other large long haul LCC in the region and they have lie flat seats compared to Jetstar's domestic J / long haul Y+ seats. Although, D7's "Premium" seems to be more expensive...

Ah, you've got around to creating a dedicated thread for this... Sunday's out for me as well I'm affraid. Hit me up if Monday goes ahead.

Garuda are supposedly going to join Skyteam in 2012 and MH already have a pretty established relationship with KLM so it's not as though CZ would be completely isolated in PER.

Saw this today, had a search on the forum and it doesn't appear to have been reported earlier. Perth-China flights to pump up tourism | Perth Now I assume this to mean flights to CAN - does that really offer any great benefit over Cathay's current flights to HKG? PEK is the other CZ main hub so...

Yes, they're the same as the domestic 332s at least. It's a great product. I wonder if QF have plans to retrofit older aircraft? :rolleyes: Don't worry, Undercover Brother, this is a scoop in that it's new for a domestic, Australian-registered 73H. You got to fly a plane that's only been in...

True, I was just working off the photos going around of the new 73H interior, which appear to have no entertainment product. After doing a bit of reading, the press seem to be saying that they will be getting seat backs (AVOD?) installed. When they go back and install the new entertainment...

I'm assuming that the new domestic 738s are the same as the JetConnect 738s, which have the same seats and systems as the domestic 332s, which is all I have experience with. I really enjoy the generous touch screens with a good selection of content, although not as much as the international...

Re: Wierd! Sounds like Silver and above sees more fares because of the new "enhanced", Silver inclusive, preferential award seat availability, that kicked in for the 4th. Bronze can see less of every fare, so the rest of us are getting preferential availability, but the problem is that they're...

Hmm this makes me think that this disconnect where the Classic Award fare classes are no longer available for ASA bookings is just for Silver and above, which then leads me to think that it must be related to yesterday's (4th May) roll-out of preferential access to Classic Awards to Silvers. I...

There's also some good, hope-giving material in the Qantas FAQ/Help part of the site: Comparing Qantas and Partner Classic and Qantas & Jetstar Any Seat says: This suggests that the Classic Award seats that are still available should/could be available as ASAs as well. Choosing...

I was getting my info from the Award Types page, where my quote comes from the 3rd paragraph of the notes/important info at the bottom of the page. I'm only getting 78K as well.

I'm not seeing any of the worthwhile prices on the standard routes from PER that I've just searched... :( I do however still hold hope, as the Any Seat Award details state:
