I'll admit to the regular ramsacking of the hotel breakfast buffet during my uni days when on trips with friends. Meant we could skip lunch by snacking on the takings throughout the day, which saved quite a bit of money for drinks ;)

This project's business case must be pretty marginal if its go-ahead depends on getting concessions out of the staff and achieving certain delivery dates. Imagine what would happen if oil prices went back to $80! 😲

I've also heard of senior advisors to federal ministers getting CL.

Holy ****! $215 for the LAX first lounge?! 😲 I mean it's a very nice lounge, but I'm not sure if it is worth that much. I agree with harvyk. I guess the logic here is if someone is really willing to offer QF $215 for some champers and S&P squid, or $70 for a few slices of pizza at PER, then QF...

Thanks for the offer Matt! Putting my hand up for 1 pass. As a NB, it sure would make the annual Christmas travel that little bit more enjoyable!

Don't forget the garden salad! Perfect to feed to the rabbits at home.

All that faux wood. Seems to me the engineers had a cheeky rummage through the Emirates parts bin ;) Looks great! Looking forward to flying on it in the future.

Well that is a complete shock! As others say, this creates a massive, gaping hole in the OW network. As others have said, it makes sense that whether codesharing continues with QF (or even if a future JV happens) I guess depends on what Delta wants. All remains to be seen. Edit: on...

Interesting, and very unexpected to see VA apply for a slot too, presumably opening the door to some sort of tieup with NH. https://www.executivetraveller.com/virgin-australia-wants-to-fly-to-tokyo-haneda If QF were only assigned the one slot, do they keep MEL-NRT and go 2x daily on SYD-HND?

Not the original poster, but readers may find Perth Airport's submission to the Productivity Commission interesting as it goes into the disagreement between QF and PER. https://www.pc.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/241030/subdr173-airports.pdf Page one, bottom paragraph says that there is...

Nice to hear that the queen might have a little bit longer in her yet.

Far more people in this thread than I was expecting with Y only international travel policies, and far fewer with J allowed to/from Perth than I was expecting. I'm a newcomer to the whole work travel thing. Were policies always like this, or was there a time where policies allowing J were more...

Dom: BFOD +/- 2hrs in Y Intl: Y up to 10 hours, Y+ anything longer. Hotels: any hotel within a certain price band. Rigorously enforced by SAP Concur.

I've always questioned how they only really review 5 star hotels and business class flights. Granted that may be where the clicks are, but not all of us road warriors are blessed with corporate travel policies that generous, or sufficient seniority. Travel policies only allowing travel in Y (Y+...

I can barely drive for 3 hours without feeling tired, even with all the cruise controls and lane assists that my car has. I couldn't imagine how the poor pilots would go!

The airlines chasing yields in place of raw pax numbers at the moment is exactly what I've been hearing too. Interested to see how VA and QF's earnings go.

Did AJ just make an order for kangaroo-tailed aircraft? Granted it's for cargo, but still... Baby steps! :p

That explains how I snagged all of 8ABC as a NB for my trip last weekend.

One thing I've always wondered- are QF's A330 pilots dedicated to either international or domestic ops, or could they be assigned a roster with 4-sector domestic triangle days mixed in with trips to Asia?

Almost as 'revolutionary' as AJ's new premium economy seats :rolleyes:
