    Qantas' New A321XLR

    I really don’t get all the fuss. It’s no Delta or JetBlue A321. It’s built and designed with management bonuses in mind.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Wed to Fri offer popped up. $130 spend and get 5200 points. As above, WOW is losing thousands of my yearly spend to Coles now. A couple of years back WOW once dominated the points area.

    Virgin change/cancellation fee increase to $109

    Needs to be some form of regulation on these fees. Retailers can’t get away with such fees, banks have been put under the microscope recently. Politicians have been weak with airlines for as long as I have been alive.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    VH-VUJ has apparently now ceased ops and will be flown out later this week to the US. Not sure when the A320s finish up.

    Double points seem to be the new norm. I got x15 points on ladies and kids clothing at BIGW. Now I thought the algorithm would have figured out I’m a male and perhaps given me a men’s clothing offer. 🤣

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    Is Hawaii with the XLR an option here? Or do the economics of a widebody start to play out for these longer missions?

    Jetstar Asia to shutdown on 31 July 2025

    Looks like Network won’t get getting Jetstar Asia aircraft and they are retiring JQs oldest owned aircraft to Network whilst JQ taking the whole 3K fleet. Lines up with Network getting the aged equipment historically. VQF and VQM still registered to Jetstar but now painted in QLink colours.

    Spirit Airlines files for Bankruptcy Protection

    Looking at bit wonky again. They are about to cut the entire schedule by 25% from November. United boss predicts they will be over by the years end. The losses the are recording are eyewatering. They are a big player with 200 aircraft these days. Will definitely have an impact across the US.

    Major SYD expansion

    Jetstar could probably move all its international flights over alongside virgin. They really only transfer onto domestic networks anyway would work well.

    Possible closure of Canberra, Hobart and Mildura staff bases

    Those Dash 8 turnarounds they do are tough. In at 8/9pm then out again at 6/7am. Crew probably only get 5/6 hours sleep. I see Virgin do much longer, ie in late but out the next afternoon, or in during the arvo, and out first thing next morning.

    Possible closure of Canberra, Hobart and Mildura staff bases

    I am sure someone’s bonus will increase because of this decision. Let’s see if any heat from the government here will change the decision slightly, seems like the Hobart base is one making the most noise with a senior Labor minister being a local member. However it seems like the decision has...

    Major SYD expansion

    That’s Australia as a whole now. We sold ourselves out years ago.

    Major SYD expansion

    Interesting they expect passenger numbers to grow to what Shanghai or LAX is today. All seems a bit overly ambitious for a city of a 5/6 million that will probably only grow by not even 2 million by 2045. Taking into account some cannibalisation from WSI, I’d say passengers numbers will...

    Major SYD expansion

    Are these just proposals that will never see the light of day? I recall seeing a plan probably a decade ago that had intentions to join the terminals or something. The airport has done nothing in a long time, this T2 current upgrade is about a decade too late.
