    Qantas' New A321XLR

    What worries me is they swap out a widebody if they break down and put you on a long haul XLR. Jetstar did this a lot when they got the 321s and they had the 787s breaking down on Bali.

    Might inexpensive domestic fares be becoming more common?

    These offers are generally tourism targeted (normally QLD) or are thin routes in off peak. I recall Virgin had a partnership with QLD Tourism which was a multi year deal. Sydney to Byron is a common route that is ‘cheap’ as it’s a very thin route during off peak and is normally $45-50 headline...

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    I strongly advise anyone braving a Jetstar Bali flight avoid the back rows. A colleague got stuck on the aisle seat a few rows from the back and said it was people just standing over them the whole time wanting to use the loo, the queue was long the whole flight.

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    Well we won’t get a closer look at the balance sheet, some money shuffling can go on now undetected. Also no details around what’s going on with the government cash, and the general state of affairs within the business. Not that Rex’ prior annual reports or asx releases had much detail. Seemed...

    Sydney Airport to CBD $60 Flat Rate Taxi Fares

    Now is there a loophole for the drivers to exploit it though? They prey on vulnerable and those on corporate accounts I note. We had some employees in Sydney the other month, company had a small bus to pickup people as it was a group, but due to late flights half got told to take a taxi. All...

    Was it someone’s lunch break or something? Only a short period.

    Virgin FY25 results

    Alan did something like $120m in his 20 years at QF didn’t he? Jane in 5 at Virgin has done $50m plus I assume another $20-30m in wages. At A2 Milk, she did $10m in only 18 months. Likely well over $100m in the last 10 years. Scary stuff.

    Korean LCC T'Way Air to rebrand as Trinity Airlines

    The interiors are simply Air Asia X so any upgrade is certainly welcome. Korea is very strong at the moment. Last minute fares are sky high, Jetstar is sold out most days well prior to departure. Melbourne to Korea is definitely a missing link at the moment.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Not much from Woolworths lately, I’m on my third month of Coles 4 week 10000 offer. Coles have gained about $1000 of spend from me in this time period which I otherwise would have spent at Woolworths.

    Pax offloaded from Dash 8 due to weight and balance

    I assume our airlines are not as generous as other nations with compo when bumping people to the next available?

    Jetstar launches Various Routes for CNS/CHC/MCY/AKL/DUD/HZL/SYD/OOL

    I’d imagine some of the NZ increases is due to negotiating new deals with some NZ airports who are upping fees considerably, likely part of a wider deal.

    Cashrewards closed with immediate effect

    They certainly have faced a whole bunch of new competitors in recent years, no doubt it’s a wafer thin margin business with high overheads (staff, head office costs)

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    No doubt a commercial coming soon with the end title perhaps.

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    Airbus have previously said whatever follows the A321 in the coming decades will certainly have a new wing.

    Virgin Australia orders 8 Embraer E190-E2 jets for delivery from 2025

    I know they are VA flight numbers but are these all flown by VA pilots? I can’t imagine intra south American flights would be too familiar to local Va crews. I know Alliance/Network used contractors to get the aircraft ferried over.

    Jetstar Asia to shutdown on 31 July 2025

    Would appear one of the extras is going to Adelaide with the below from October 26, one extra A320Ceo being based in Adelaide. Adelaide to Melbourne: From 35 currently up to 40 flights a week (+5). Adelaide to Brisbane: From 10 currently up to 14 flights a week (+4). Adelaide to Perth: From...
