    MH Pulling out of BNE?

    I definately agree, MH has meet their legal obligations in offering the alternatives and options. Maybe you can try flying through MEL instead, there's still the 2 daily flights to choose from there too. Maybe MH might meet your request? Never hurts asking.

    I'm looking forward to QF launching MEL-DFW, AJ did mention it as a potential route for their 789's! Hopefully they are seriously considering it. :)

    Melbourne Airport T4 opens

    Ok let me clarify everything, I have looked over the plans of the entire T4 precinct. The old T4 will be interconnected with the new T4. Only check-in will be done at the old T4 for ZL and maybe TT (keeping in mind that the new T4 only has self service kiosks, whilst the old T4 has the normal...

    Melbourne Airport T4 opens

    Don't worry TT will fully move its operations to the 'new T4', unfortunately for ZL though, they will take up residence at the 'old T4' after the refurbishments are done - That's what I heard. JQ is expected to fully move to the 'new T4' by late November, all subject to change. The 'Tin Shed'...

    Bali Flights

    Will be interesting to see what will become of the remaining routes though! BNE: Only both JQ and VA left, GA axed the route recently citing the route was loss making for the airline, so VA could stick around due to limited competition on the route with a less aggressive JQ at only x5 weekly...

    How would Thai Airways' Australian routes be performing financially?

    Maybe, I have been struck by bad decisions! I always choose the Thai/Asian option when on TG, the last meal I remembered I had last week was the steamed fish with jasmine rice. The dish wasn't as flavoursome as I remembered and was quite bland, this being a J meal too. I remember the golden...

    Vietnam Airlines booking problem

    I've had trouble booking through VN's website, so you are not alone. Simply give their Facebook page a PM and they should get to you asap, its also good to mention, that Vietnamese travel agents tend to have access to the cheapest seats so I would contact them too if you wish. Definitely check...

    How would Thai Airways' Australian routes be performing financially?

    TG seem to be doing well in MEL, holding their weight at x2 daily flights for quite some time now - the highest frequency of any Australian city TG operates to. TG is still quite competitive in MEL, but they definitely need to update their cabin to attract more premium pax, I just recently took...

    KE to send A380's to SYD

    KE has inputed the A380 into their daily SYD schedule starting from 01DEC, also the 77W takes over from 25OCT. Further changes are expected as SYD is very seasonal, which could see SYD downgraded after the traditional busy months. I would imagine, KE might also announce further...

    MH Pulling out of BNE?

    Well considering inside sources citing MH's BNE services has been loss making and unprofitable for quite some time now (apparently 2nd most unprofitable route), I doubt QF would perform any better on the route, premium demand isn't quite there to entice QF. Any tag flight in Asia would be...

    CI to launch TPE-MEL-CHC service!

    CI will offer x3 weekly TPE-MEL services with a tag onwards to CHC using A333's starting from 25OCT. Exciting news for MEL! This new route connects MEL back with TPE, a route last operate by BR over a decade now. CI will have full local traffic rights on the MEL-CHC v.v. sector. I'm personally...

    JQ to bump up MEL-NRT/HNL

    I definitely agree! I'm not sure why QF didn't route the other x3 weekly NRT services exMEL. Is JL still interested in serving another Australian destination? I heard they were looking at MEL but not sure if its still on the cards, MEL would definitely be the obvious choice now since QF decided...

    JQ to bump up MEL-NRT/HNL

    JQ will increase MEL-NRT from x4 weekly to x6 weekly and MEL-HNL from x3 weekly to x4 weekly from 14DEC, MEL-NRT must be doing quite well for them in order to increase services! Maybe MEL-KIX down the track too? Although would definitely like a full service alternative, konichiwa QF, JL, NH? ;)...

    My Worst Airport - Tullamarine, Melbourne. What's Yours?

    I was hoping for a rail link to be built for MEL soon, and hopefully when they eventually get around it (probably a decade+ away!!!) they may have airline check in desks at Southern Cross Station.

    Sheraton brand is tired

    There's definately a lot of them in the US and Europe that needs to up their game, if they don't I don't mind seeing them slide into a Four Points - I know that's harsh but tough cookies to them, it's their own fault. The ones in Asia are quite good and seem to be more consistent. SGS Bangkok...

    CX cabin crew strike

    One of the complaints was the reduction of allowance on flights to MEL! I wonder why MEL was singled out and the rest of Australia wasn't. We need happy flight attendants or I got a feeling CX FA's won't be happy doing the MEL runs and it might show in the cabin. CX operates x3 daily too so...

    My Worst Airport - Tullamarine, Melbourne. What's Yours?

    Well I guess we all have to get use to it, arrivals into MEL T2 (especially in the mornings) will get quite fun. Quite a lot of new flights will be added during the morning and afternoon departure bank from this year and bus gates will be quite common. In addition to Gate 15, we now have 2 more...

    Jetstar increases flights from Avalon (instead of ceasing operations)

    5J was given exclusive rights to fly to AVV, and rejected them, they are now waiting for rights for MEL services, so that in itself tells us how airlines, even ULCC's where cost is everything thinks of AVV. MEL and APAC aren't stupid, they know once one goes over they might be up for a battle...
