How did Jane feel sharing your scone with cream ;)

It’s a pity Haneda slots are not open to wet lease ops, if they were it might make things easier for QF and at the same time make it harder should VA be interested in reviving ops using QR planes, cest la vie.

A quick look at experiences in threads such as on FT suggests that’s not the case eg https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/accor-all-accor-live-limitless/2181825-please-post-your-accor-all-elite-experiences-2025-master-thread.html With all the plats and diamonds in recent times I would imagine hotels...

Where you credit miles doesn’t affect your QF gold benefits, some airlines support two frequent travellers numbers in a booking such as Singapore ie FQTV: Frequent flyer number for mileage accrual FQTS: Frequent flyer number for status benefits But this sometimes goes awry, you can just flash...

Always worth checking if other options might be better https://www.wheretocredit.com/emirates/w As QF gold you get lounge access: Eligible customers can also access Emirates Lounges across Australia, Europe, Asia, North Africa and the Middle East when flying on eligible Qantas or Emirates...

Given the commission have set Nov 30 as the deadline we must be close to seeing changes?

Yes, status will be assessed again at the end of the year More so in China given they have exclusive elevated benefits such as free breakfast for gold : 10% off member price (accommodation discount), 15% discount on food and beverages (restaurant and bar), free breakfast* for 1 person...

Not sure about your reference to engineers, they’re not part of a crew base of tech and cabin crew. 1. Recently the Dash 8 entity merged with NJS so now they have a large pool of staff that can work on both as far as cabin crew goes in a central location, HBA advantage gone, once training is...

Loss of CPDLC would not normally turn around a plane as they have HF, however it’s a requirement to have it working for transit of Joberg Oceanic Airspace.

Same thing that happens everywhere else, replacement crew from the hotel if needed. HBA had 6 crew sets which is not enough to support ops year round, so they were already flying in subs as needed or cancelling flights as they did this morning. As it stands they are occasionally subbing 737s...

Given Accor have published the availability criteria now effective and are known for years to have quirky IT, the answer is self evident. The changes are big and clearly still being worked on, keeping in mind the 1st October takes 24 hours to get around the world, I would expect the quirks to...

No it doesn’t. NJS doesn’t have spare aircraft, so yet another engine change on the green A220 last week saw a 737 subbed in, which cannot be flown by the HBA crew. Come the end of the month it’s bye A220, hello 737 on the Sydney flights as well. Given the base did both tech and cabin crew and...

My figures were excluding the 20 ordered in Aug as I am expecting them to be significantly delayed beyond the 2028 date.

For the tours it’s a min 5.5hrs stopover, you got the new one, although I agree on your thoughts re Sentosa! https://www.changiairport.com/en/experience/tours/free-singapore-tour.html

Qantas have more A220s than A321XLRs on order and both order books still fall short of the 737 fleet numbers, for now ;). There are a lot of A220s coming onto the market secondhand (aka midlife as QF likes to call it) at present.

Long term this aircraft is not intended to be a domestic bird, they have the A220 for that. This aircraft is intended for long range lower capacity ops on international legs. AY seem to have got the config right on this same aircraft, qantas went with the silly sollys budget options which says...
