I wonder how much longer the Japan experiment will last

I’d imagine in the long run the HA branding will eventually go.

I think a lot of people get caught out with those bundles, to the airlines advantage, that is for those people that simply want a seat plus bag only. That is all my old folks want but have been buying the bundles because they are on the first page, they didn’t know you could buy bare fare plus...

I changed my phone number and email a few months back, the first change in probably 20 years. I then changed passwords on all accounts. I started getting some small hints earlier this year, unauthorised transactions appearing on banking, not to mention dozens of spam calls weekly. I feel like...

Surely MEL-SIN is a route on borrowed time on JQ.

Unless someone is moving house via Virgin those allowances are just stupid. Why on earth would someone need 160kg?

A320s now starting to go. VH-VNF has left PER-OOL-APW. Have many memories in this aircraft when we flew Tiger a bit during the first year or two. Photo from 2008 below.

A few months ago I witnessed a what appeared to be 10kg plus bag drop on someone’s head. The said passenger threatened legal action to the staff, he wasn’t happy. Possibly a legal minefield also this topic.

1000 points when spend $25 on freezer 600 points when spend $90

Apparently the list of issues, or MEL I think they call them, are quite long on a few of them.

The Victorian government surely would have levers to pull if they could’ve half coughd. The state is in such a mess that these sort of matters don’t get any attention. Sometimes it’s the small things that make a big difference.

I agree that it doesn’t appear like much has changed considering the investment, but it was probably more updating outdated software, they did call out everything was like a decade behind in that department. No point behind the scenes things flow better. To show how bad it was, when Bain picked...

I would probably be mindful booking anything for 2026 on the 787, changes to schedules with the fleet cycling heavy checks and modifications should be expected, especially if they don’t run on time, or have unexpected issues pop up. Not sure how much buffer they have in the schedule, with the...

I asked this to someone from the commercial team when I was sitting next to them on a Sydney flight (he was asking me for feedback). He said such a platform required significant investment and the company didn’t have the capital for it at the time. That was pre pandemic. I didn’t know how...

I’ve had luck with something similar once. Upgraded but they never took the points, flew in the said cabin. It’s been a few years they have not come knocking yet. I have cancelled two classic rewards last year, they also didn’t apply the penalty. Probably just second rate IT systems at play...

These ecam warnings give out any sounds or chimes?

Would Pilots not get a message about this being open? Seems bizarre. https://amp.9news.com.au/article/ac25c5cf-7f8d-4912-b625-888f05296b62

What inside treatment did the ex Rex jets get before coming back into service? If any?

Looks like some routes are coming off the overnights and onto day flights, ie CNS-CHC, and CNS-PER is another I can see, I recall Jetstar need to overnight Pilots on any red eye, so this will obviously improve productivity.
