Thanks for the offer Matt! Putting my hand up for 1 pass. As a NB, it sure would make the annual Christmas travel that little bit more enjoyable!

Don't forget the garden salad! Perfect to feed to the rabbits at home.

All that faux wood. Seems to me the engineers had a cheeky rummage through the Emirates parts bin ;) Looks great! Looking forward to flying on it in the future.

Well that is a complete shock! As others say, this creates a massive, gaping hole in the OW network. As others have said, it makes sense that whether codesharing continues with QF (or even if a future JV happens) I guess depends on what Delta wants. All remains to be seen. Edit: on...

Interesting, and very unexpected to see VA apply for a slot too, presumably opening the door to some sort of tieup with NH. https://www.executivetraveller.com/virgin-australia-wants-to-fly-to-tokyo-haneda If QF were only assigned the one slot, do they keep MEL-NRT and go 2x daily on SYD-HND?

Not the original poster, but readers may find Perth Airport's submission to the Productivity Commission interesting as it goes into the disagreement between QF and PER. https://www.pc.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/241030/subdr173-airports.pdf Page one, bottom paragraph says that there is...

Nice to hear that the queen might have a little bit longer in her yet.

Far more people in this thread than I was expecting with Y only international travel policies, and far fewer with J allowed to/from Perth than I was expecting. I'm a newcomer to the whole work travel thing. Were policies always like this, or was there a time where policies allowing J were more...

Dom: BFOD +/- 2hrs in Y Intl: Y up to 10 hours, Y+ anything longer. Hotels: any hotel within a certain price band. Rigorously enforced by SAP Concur.

I've always questioned how they only really review 5 star hotels and business class flights. Granted that may be where the clicks are, but not all of us road warriors are blessed with corporate travel policies that generous, or sufficient seniority. Travel policies only allowing travel in Y (Y+...

I can barely drive for 3 hours without feeling tired, even with all the cruise controls and lane assists that my car has. I couldn't imagine how the poor pilots would go!

The airlines chasing yields in place of raw pax numbers at the moment is exactly what I've been hearing too. Interested to see how VA and QF's earnings go.

Did AJ just make an order for kangaroo-tailed aircraft? Granted it's for cargo, but still... Baby steps! :p

That explains how I snagged all of 8ABC as a NB for my trip last weekend.

One thing I've always wondered- are QF's A330 pilots dedicated to either international or domestic ops, or could they be assigned a roster with 4-sector domestic triangle days mixed in with trips to Asia?

Almost as 'revolutionary' as AJ's new premium economy seats :rolleyes:

If you're the sort of flyer who would gun for LTP, it seems you would be better off shifting to BAEC once you hit LTG with QF. Saves putting all of your lifetime status eggs into one basket too.

No changes to LTG or LTS. LTP exactly as our insiders said. Some sort of 'status' based on annual points earn (probably a couple of lounge passes and 50sc is my bet). Keep the cash-printing machine fed

Revenue based model is my guess too. It's clearly the direction that FF schemes are going.

Definitely in J.
