    To my knowledge there is no phone menu option for release requests, so new points booking seems the most relevant.

    Status run to Auckland

    Don't bet on that. Several ways for that to be known, or at least have a good idea, before they even speak to you.

    VA562 misses Sydney curfew but lines up for approach anyway

    That's when the Sydney Airport Curfew Act was implemented enshrining the curfew into law. There had been a curfew for many years prior to that. Probably starting around the time of jet aircraft appearing.

    VA562 misses Sydney curfew but lines up for approach anyway

    Living adjacent to SYD (Tempe) during the state election where the No Aircraft Noise Party was at its peak, the argument proffered against this was that there were residential areas adjacent to the airport site before it was an airport. The analogy used was when a pub that was originally...
