I'm overnighting in MEL in November (SYD-MEL-LST). As I arrive MEL around 3 pm, I'm planning to take the public bus to Broadmeadows Station and then the train to Spencer St, Takes longer but is a tad less expensive, and probably more "interesting". Never used my Myki card before, so I'll give it...

I'm not against a second Sydney airport, but just not where it's been plonked. Surely RAAF Richmond would have been a better place to start with. Oh, sorry, I forgot the noise issue.... Or failing that, just make Badgery's Creek a LCC, GA and freight airport. Oh wait, that's what it is.

An interesting snippet from Head for Points: UBS downgrades IAG shares, partly blames Avios changes We will have a longer article on Monday about the discussion on IAG’s recent financial conference call regarding the changes to British Airways Club. I thought it was worth dropping this little...

Nah, you're dealing with Americans here.

While I hate to say this, I do agree with you. And, I did live in Western Sydney for quite a while, so I think I know the demographics. Whether that will tip the balance, I don't know. Good luck to WSI (an airport we didn't have to have, but got anyway).

Why would you bother for a 1 hour flight. Surely you could have survived in YX? My wife recently flew CBR-OOL in Y and got the offer for $100. I advised her not to take it. How could it be worthwhilw in those J "cabins" that are open for the world to view and smirk? It's enough to make J pax...

Yes, I think you've got it, Poochie. Anyway, I'll give it a go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

I'm not sure it is.

They can do what they like if they think "fraud" might be involved.

I guess they had the same consultants as BA (IAG) and VA... Might work in Canada (USA light), but not in AU or UK?

Well, that's fine, but I flew a 220 in J from MEL to CBR in seat 2A (couldn't get row 1), and the person in front of me fully reclined his seat (for a 1 hour flight!). The space remaining in front of me was non existent. So, never again on a 220, thank you. I'd rather fly CBR-MEL on a Dash-8...

Yes, me too. Qantas (Jetstar) shot themselves in the foot by not being a little bit flexible and competing properly with TR. However, I've never had my carry on weighed for any 3K flight, and I've taken quite a few. I think the local staff knew what they up against and didn't want to piss off...

Just fly Scoot Plus to SIN and save your money and points. Don't forget to take some snacks with you.

I much prefer the Dash-8 in economy. I think the 220 sucks. Cram as many pax as is (almost) humanely possible. No thanks.

Yes, WSI will probably be more "successful" than AVV, but it may still be a relative white elephant. Govt backing does not ensure success (remember the Voice?). The Govt can throw money (or issue threats) to airlines, but there may well just be token compliance, to test the water. Of course the...

Wouldn't it have been not much more expensive just to book a cash fare with VA and save your points/Avios?

I was on th last Ansett service from MEL to CBR, way back when, and there was a similar air about it. However, the cabin crew went around with the drinks cart and basically said that it all has to go and it's free... Lifted the gloom a little. And all we have now in its place is an emaciated VA.

Well, I was in the CBR lounge earlier today, but I didn't plan or expect to be. I was seeing off my wife, who is a UA Mileage Plus Platinum member, and I just wanted to be sure that she wouldn't have any problems with lounge access (she was on an el cheapo VA fare). So I wasn't expecting and...

I did wonder why (and how) the op was going via Turkey Creek airport (TKY)... https://airportcodes.aero/tky
