    New Adelaide Qantas Club & Business Lounge

    You wanna start a war? It's Tasmania, of course it's roe on. But as part of a pie, I'm not sure what they would do.

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    I can't read the paywalled article, but I wonder what would have motivated a small terminal in the first place, especially if this was supposed to rival SYD (Mascot). Is there some spare land around the place that they could expand if they wanted to? I wonder what is the strategy by any of the...

    Airports absurdly close to the city

    Cairns Airport is pretty close to its city centre. I've learned that people actually walk between the airport and CBD! This is despite much of the route not necessarily being pedestrian friendly.

    What cheeses me off

    This is for anyone who owns a Microsoft Surface Laptop. WCMO is those rubber "feet". Sure, they do a great job of anti-slip, but they are stuck (glued) onto the base, and the problem is that they start to loosen from their foundations relatively quickly. I guess they were figuring that people...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Someone might have posted it before, but it seems the order of meals is peculiar on VA flights. Is there a madness in the method? I think I used to hear before that Platinum members were given priority in terms of their preference (viz. their choice was set aside).

    Qantas forcing everyone to use self-service check-in kiosks in AKL

    I know they don't take to using abusive language lightly in Singapore (cf. in Australia that is usually no where near an arrestable offence in and of itself). I guess I'm confused about the "public servant" bit, but also while it seemed to involve a kiosk (i.e. the latter being used or struck)...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Good to hear that the beef was excellent - that's a tough (pun intended) thing to achieve on board an aircraft, in any class of service. Looking at that plate, there doesn't appear to be much sauce, so I'd have thought the dish would eat a bit dry.

    Qantas forcing everyone to use self-service check-in kiosks in AKL

    Do certain staff who work at Changi count as public servants? Headline is a bit confusing.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Because you hate the competition. Whether rationally VA is better than QF on overall value or not, there are a lot of customers who will simply not touch QF or JQ, even in an emergency. This has swelled VA's ranks and they will be steady customers, unless somehow VA also do a PR masterstroke...

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    I forgot this thread existed. This one was from about two weeks ago. Wonton soup. Pork or vegetable wontons. I added the pickled vegetables on top. Pretty ordinary. Wontons obviously boiled well in advance, but because of how much time they had been sitting in broth or reheated, the skin was...

    What cheeses me off

    Like job applications, they're not obliged to tell you why, but it would be nice if they did. At least you got told you were unsuccessful rather than being left high and dry. Probably reason is they went with someone else, whatever that reason was (they were family, they have a higher income...

    Virgin Australia IPO Discussion

    Oh well, they have plenty of money. And hey, it can only go up from here, right? It's not as if they were betting on a chestnut

    Jetstar launches Newcastle to Bali

    So is NTL really a bunch of CUBs or is there an expanding (urban) population in Newcastle that is ripe for provisioning viable international traffic instead of conceding everyone to SYD (let alone WSI when it opens)? Not sure how anyone in NTL feels about travelling internationally when they...
