    Major SYD expansion

    I am not opposed to the idea at all. In particular, if you are seated in Business and you need to board from remote stand, you should have a private car to fetch you.

    Major SYD expansion

    Sydney (SYD) is planning for a major expansion, which will see T2 and T3 linked together, allowing international service from the combined terminal. It will also include driverless buses between T1 and T2/3, and 2 new gates at T1. This might help a little, but not enough. I don't understand...

    Qantas - Emirates Award flight Discussion

    I actually wonder if EK is no longer offering reward seats from Asia to Dubai? I find it bizarre that I cannot even find seats in distressed inventory ex-HKG/SIN/BKK... Not even in Economy for next week...

    What a phenomenal outcome for Jayne. Much better than what Alan Joyce is pocketing.

    Japan overtakes the USA for fourth spot in favored destinations for Aussies

    I actually wonder if the surge of travel demand to Japan would allow Jetstar to try launching Cairns - Okinawa? Okinawa is 5154km or 5 hours 45 minutes away from Cairns, which it can potentially fits well with a domestic connection from East Coast utilising one plane or hook up with DPS routes...

    Cathay's Distressed Inventory Release

    Hello everyone, I wonder when will Cathay usually releases its distressed inventory (last minute reward) tickets? I am just puzzling to comprehend that ports such as Singapore are selling dirt cheap Business Light tickets when there's no reward available in December. Surely there's a point in...

    Qantas Status Credits when flying Malaysia Airlines

    I wonder if there's a way to book D Class on MH when Z class is available?

    No Light Rail to Gold Coast Airport

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-01/queensland-government-dumps-gold-coast-light-rail-stage-four/105719168 That's definitely a huge blow to OOL. It seems to me that Gold Coast Airport can only become a regional airport in this circumstances, and potentially it might not revive until 2032?

    Virgin FY25 results

    $12/SC for Business Class fares will never incentifies passengers to buy premium fares on Virgin Australia.

    Thank you for your loyalty

    Exactly what I am thinking. If bonus SC does not count towards lifetime SC, may just get double points instead.

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    So if I have chosen points, can I change to status instead?

    Virgin FY25 results

    So the so-called enhancements to the frequent flyer program actually did upped the budget bottom line for Virgin Australia instead of destroying them. I suppose that's because the travel demand is so huge that the two airlines are riding the wave now.

    China Southern increases flights to Australia

    The flight left Darwin way early and does not connect with Qantas services. Should it become a morning departure ex-CAN I believe and add Qantas Codeshare this could be attractive.

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    As this round of DSC does not contribute to Lifetime Status, and 150 SC would have been enough to retain Platinum, I wonder if anyone would switch to double points instead? I think for this time, I will choose Double Points and make minimal booking, as it doesn't count towards Platinum Bonus...

    Isn't this is not allowed on Qantas flights?

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    I hope so, in particular the early morning departure to DPS desperately needed to convert to A321XLR, so that at least I can fly Business Class to Bali and change for Hong Kong, Singapore or Malaysia. Also this might mean flights ex-CNS to Japan may become an A321XLR feature?

    Lounge access at HKG on Hong Kong Airlines transit ticket ex-SYD/MEL

    Effective immediately until March 2026, all passengers flying ex-SYD/MEL and transit via HKG will be eligible for lounge access regardless of class of travel. Conditions apply. Why fly Jetstar to Japan when Hong Kong Airlines includes meals, checked baggage and lounge access and is also...

    Which routes do they serve Garlic bread on Economy? Next time I should have asked to give me the Economy Garlic Bread to me!
