Brace yourself, because come mid 2015, JQ will move into the new T4, and bye bye lounge access! (Thats of course if JQ doesn't plan to build its own lounge in T4). The walk from T1 to T4's remote gates will be quite a trek - wouldn't even bother! After clearing security at T1, by the time you...

Thank you for all of your helpful replies! I have quite a long transit time in SIN, so I'm not too bothered, but it would help a lot (and be less stressful) if 3K can check my bags all the way through to MEL!

You have plenty of options non-stop, QF will increase to x10 weekly from JAN (up from x1 Daily) and UA will go daily from MAR (Up from x6 weekly). If I were you I would definitely change my loyalty if you are mainly looking at US flights in the future. UA is better now with the 787's but I would...

I booked a SGN-SIN-MEL sector via Zuji; SGN-SIN (operated by 3K) SIN-MEL (operated by EK, but brought on a QF code) and I was wondering if 3K will transfer my bags onto the EK flight, which I've been booked on with a QF code (QF8404). I am unsure if these are separate bookings as I booked all...

Exciting! Another new airline for MEL! :D At this stage it looks like: QZ052/053 DPS-CNS arrive 0435 depart 0520 using A320's.

I was wondering, for those in the industry (especially ground crew), what happens on an airlines last flight to a destination? For example, KE stopped MEL services in march last year, I know for a fact that their city office was closed and the GM moved to another destination, but what...

You have quite a unique list there! BOM is definitely in the pipeline, theres also sufficient numbers for a non-stop, however today SQ, MH covers this segment, and also AI too. HND will depend on economic conditions, NRT is only flown by JQ, but it is increasing Japanese traffic to MEL by...

Melbourne has quite a few holes in it's International network, most noticeably NE Asia, West Asia, Africa, Pacific, Nth America & Sth America. What destinations and airlines would you like to see in Melbourne. Why? And how viable do you think these flights would be? Some Suggestions: MEL-YVR...

Re: Virgin Australia - Daily BNE/LAX from October 2014, MEL/LAX suspended Did VA give the option of affected to fly non-stop with QF or UA? Would of loved to try out UA's new 787, then again… I heard UA was very pleased with their forward bookings on MEL-LAX.

Yes, as UA will only operate the new MEL-LAX service x6 Weekly and not daily, however the flight should go daily around december apparently.

Yes this is true, believe it or not UA is pretty premium heavy out of MEL - hence why they have been keeping MEL for so long. Hopefully they do refurbish the United Club at MEL, its pretty dated in there!

Re: SriLankan Airlines to join oneworld on March 1 Yes thats correct, UL was suppose to launch MEL last year, then supposedly this year, however they now have pushed MEL-CMB for 2015. There are no plans to serve SYD at this moment in time, UL is only interested in MEL. They are awaiting new...

Well 3 more SPG brands are coming into Melbourne! Four Points will open on the Docklands while Aloft will open up on Lonsdale St, marking aloft's foray into Melbourne, I think element could do very well in Melbourne also. Earlier reports stated that Four Points would be apart of the Altus...

According to the Northern Summer schedule; CX will delink ADL & MEL, MEL will retain its x3 Daily service with an earlier arrival time into MEL at 11:20 (+1 Hr during AESDT) direct from HKG. I think ADL will get only x3-4 weekly services direct to HKG. Both will see a boost, especially MEL, in...

I'm also assuming that it will be around 10AM, somewhere between the 9AM-11AM morning departure bank, as I assume it will replicate the OOL & CNS schedules. MEL sure will be a hell lot busier, more bus gates I would assume too, with the arrival of Aircalin & Cebu Pacific also joining the...

Here's JQ's International network from MEL, pretty good compared to what QF offers, however JQ compliments QF's network at MEL, giving the Qantas group a good presence at MEL despite the lack of QF mainline services - QF also code-shares on most services. No doubt this route will be successful...

Yes, its quite laughable about the PER situation! Quite embarrassing really for PER residents EY Has announced MEL & SYD (aswell as LHR & JFK) as their A380 destinations for their 10 A380's arriving next year. And as for MH, if the bi-lateral agreements didn't get in the way both MEL & SYD...

Congrats to BNE, now its time for PER to get its act together! BNE now joins the A380 Airport club, the 4th in the Pacific region. SYD: QF [HKG, LAX, DXB/LHR] SQ [SIN] EK [AKL, DXB] CZ [CAN]* EY [AUH]* MEL: QF [LAX, DXB/LHR] SQ [SIN] EK [AKL, DXB] EY [AUH]* BNE: EK [AKL, DXB]

Re: [Rumour]JQ to terminate SIN-PEK from December Operating days exMEL is Sat & Sun with a third new frequency being added from March operating on Tue

Re: Ryanair staff getting bonuses for catching passengers with excess/large baggage . I wouldn't classify Bangkok Air as a LCC either, they are more of a Boutique airline, in my opinion on par with Silk Air, possibly even better. They provide a free Lounge* for all pax, give free meals etc...
