    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    Used the whole runway to roll out, engineering issue seems probable. Also seems like an extra flight covering from prior days cancellations, VKE operating a second CNS-NRT today as JQ1025 JQ7 MEL-SIN-MEL canceled today.

    Which is the best airline to fly from Australia to Bali?

    Hoping QF with its new A350/787 fleet might run a DPS overnight with perhaps one aircraft that might have sat overnight. Otherwise they are a joke to Bali. Vote for MH here too. New kit on all routes according to AusBt soon.

    Jetstar NZ faulty baggage scales at WLG

    I was told by a friend living in NZ that Jetstar have the reputation in NZ as to what Tiger had here in Oz. They are perceived worse over the Tasman it seems. Continued fines doesn’t help the image. I doubt Management care one bit though.

    Things Virgin Australia Does & Doesn’t Do Well

    I will admit customer service during the JB years was pretty good, it’s definitely slipped these days as it’s moved to a more financial lead business. IT is still pretty rubbish but they have been upfront around the underinvestment.

    Jetstar adds Melbourne - Colombo

    They said more medium term so I am thinking more 2030. Unknown what state the country will be in, however I can’t see the prices in Vegas dropping, it’s all double to triple pre pandemic. Long Haul low cost isn’t really a proven model, they would be facing 14-16 hrs westbound, the low cost base...

    Qantas adds OOL-AKL and SYD-AKL-APW

    I’ve been told they have been using the non IFE 737s across the Tasman lately. Is that correct? I thought they had a specific rego back that they used for these flights like Virgin do under VAI.

    Qantas adds OOL-AKL and SYD-AKL-APW

    Fairly sure Virgin operated the AKL-APW route prior to collapse and it didn’t return I assume these are operated by Jetconnect.

    Jetstar adds Melbourne - Colombo

    With the doubling of the Business Cabin, let’s remain hopeful that pricing in that cabin may get more attractive, especially last minute upgrades if the cabins are had empty.

    Changing seats T mins to Departure?

    Don’t normally and up on QF but have been recently. What’s the story with changing seats in the app after checkin? Is there a set time they cut it off? I found I could switch seats like 45-60 mins prior to departure in the app which was an easier way to secure a few seats vs paying the...
