Is it no longer doable, and for what reason? Personally I wouldn't play with fire and just cop the airport change. The fastest way is by bus and should take about 70-90 minutes. Or you could take an Uber for around JPY 25,000 (about AUD $360) - same transit time as the bus, not cheap but...

Exactly - I can't read the AFR article but I can see from the summary: "Officials are considering cancelling special allowances for cargo operators to fly outside curfew after the ex-PM wrote to Labor demanding it be scrapped." I believe this refers to short-haul domestic or Trans-Tasman...

At risk of getting off topic here, passenger curfew landings are only allowed from 5am to 6am, right? And only if they can land from over the water, regardless of weather possibly favouring the other direction (this rule also applies to overnight cargo flights).

True, and that's often because the airport train line is built as an afterthought and not along a main rail line - SYD is a happy coincidence that they were able to divert an existing line, basically, in order to get direct service from the CBD. Many US airports (that have rail service) are...

Yes, partially. The M1 metro line (not sure if they will use that designator, but let's suppose they do) used existing overhead wiring systems from Epping to Chatswood, and will do the same from Sydenham to Bankstown as well. As a result they use 1500 DC electrical supply, left over from...

In 2022, the former Government announced planning for a business case to extend the airport metro to Glenfield, via Leppington (replacing the Sydney Trains heavy rail on the Leppington to Glenfield segment). This would allow much better access to WSI airport from the southwest and south in...

He just means Platinum. It's an affectation that the original poster of this thread does in order to attract attention (I guess).

The Philippines call centre was an existing internal outsourcing centre, used for back office processes, like ticketing. So when they added the ability to take inbound customer calls, you weren't getting greenhorns - many of the agents and supervisors were already working on behalf of Qantas...

After the lockout in 2011 (?), they issued first class lounge vouchers to some...

Have they taken that away? I missed that "enhancement" if so...

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is still happening. A mortgage broker wanted me to use a tool that would login to my online banking session (through a similar technique) in order to screen-scrape all my transactions. I refused and provided the statements manually; he then ghosted me...

You can "un-checkin" and then cancel. However, I am curious if OP got their points back or not as I thought normally the cancellation deadline for classic rewards is T-24. For any ticket type, you get at least your taxes back if you cancel after the deadline.

Interesting, I didn't know this was an option, as Airbnb bookings through Qantas Hotels are not eligible, but it seems there's a way to do it directly? I recently booked a $4k Airbnb (big holiday house for 10 mates) and used the wrong credit card by mistake, non-points-earning, and now to...

I think Nikon photographed the situation actually.

Because they specifically don't *want* to. They can easily hire a qualified secretary to do it, even one experienced enough to practice very good discretion in terms of what is actually written down, but no minutes at all makes it easier to practice selective memory in court, no?

Not necessarily, if they deem it to be non-material, i.e. not a big enough impact on the bottom line to be of concern. They may have assessed that they can get away with paying very little compensation, even though they have lost. They will do doubt continue to fight hard to reduce the...

This is a post-9/11 security measure and is commonly done by US airlines. Also, it's common for a cabin crew member while enter the flight deck to monitor the remaining pilot (as a result of the Germanwings crash where one pilot was left alone and committed suicide-by-airliner with 143...

Not sure if I'm missing something, but why does it matter if you arrived at the same time anyway?

Good luck actually getting a copy of this... no one at customer care or the call centre will have the foggiest on how what to do if you requested it.

A flag carrier just refers to an international carrier domiciled in that country. Virgin Australia is also a flag carrier of Australia, as is Jetstar and even AirNorth. From wikipedia: A flag carrier is a transport company, such as an airline or shipping company, that, being locally...
