Yes indeed, but unfortunately not. The American venture capital company Bain has put paid to any of that sentiment. Pay up or go to the back. Very sad.

I recently flew in row 3 on an undivided aircraft. Looking into J (as you have little choice with no divider), it was a bit like watching a punch and judy show. I felt sorry fo the J pax who paid good money for this.

I guess you've not read the reviews on A3? I've flown them quite a lot, and they would blow VA out of the water. Chalk and cheese, VA are fine as an Australian LCC, but that's all they are and aspire to. Not a criticism of VA, just pointing out their preferred position in the market.

Yes, but unfortunately, this routing in J has price variations of thousands of $$$ depending on the date. So hopefully one of the cheaper fares would be available for the preferred dates. Or, perhaps it doesn't matter if money's no object?

The A220's were touted as a wonderful new addition to the Qantas fleet, but it seems they have been a bit of a flop. Why, I (don't) wonder? Perhaps something to do with the Qantas board and its desire to screw the last cent out of everything for the mutual benefit of themselves and their...

Ah yes, constraints. Looking at Google Maps it's obvious. But there we have it, a ready made airport with an extendable runway (to the dismay of local residents who may have to have their houses demolished). But that's nothing, really, when considering the proposed Heathrow third runway. In...

For a 7 hour layover, not counting the time to deplane, go through Immigration twice, and the boarding process, I'm not sure that a hotel would be worthwhile. But YMMV.

I know that's not correct. I was there a couple of times earlier this year, overnight, and the Wing F lounge was scheduled to close at 02:00 every night. When I was there it actually closed between 02:30 and 03:30 to cater for delayed flights. It then reopened at 05:00. However in the OP's...

I think they must have been referring to Ansett. Unfortunately it'll never happen.

As I've said before, I'm hugely unimpressed with the BNE J lounge (perhaps it's designed to cater for the good folk of Gympie and surrounding areas). Whenever I'm in BNE I'll go to the J lounge to see what's on offer, and usually, shortly afterwards, go to the Club lounge, which is always...

Good luck!

Unfortunately, they will run out of everything you want far sooner than you imagine. They may not even have loaded it in the first place. And I'm sure that you know how awful the chapagne is in the SYD F lounge beforehand. Maybe as an F flyer you might get something slightly better. But in any...

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.
