I'd say any lounge renewal at T2 also depends on the airports new T2/T3 connector plans and how that might interface to the lounge. The preliminary envelope design gets pretty close to the lounge. VA and partners might push for an international exit from their lounge for example.

More impressive is that they will fit every aircraft in their large fleet within two years. Unfortunately Qantas backed the horse back in 2017, two years before the first StarLink sats even launched. But ultimately there will be multiple competing LEO platforms - StarLink, Amazon Leo (fmr...

The new VA requirements are earn 500 Status Credits within 365 days, with at least 250 earned from flying yourself (so not family pooled) on Virgin Australia-marketed flights. So possibly you need to book VA code shares (which can be more expensive). Gold will give you lounge access with...

The big unknown though is the variances over Covid and how that impacted each aircrafts hours. A few days ago on one of the SydSquad shows, with I believe a QF engineer as guest, it was mentioned the first 737 retirement was still 2-3yrs away.

On the a actual topic, SQ and TR Scoot also run some late night part day flights SIN-SYD SQ231 SIN 0045 SYD 1150 Daily TR2 SIN 0125 SYD 1220 Thu-Sat TR2 SIN 0210 SYD 1305 Mon-Wed, Sun As well as the pure day services of SQ241 (0705 dep) TR12 (0755) and SQ211 (1030)

Correct no sleeper cars on the new R Sets. Just First and Economy in fixed six car consists for the longer range versions. Some have suggested getting new cars with the Qld Rail bed style (essentially an angled sleeper), but any order would be a long time away. Its also a utilisation and...

Fairly misleading article given they don't mention how much the NSW Govt pays to remove the surcharges that are still in the contract at Mascot and Green Square (Both areas where usage of the line and population has exploded as the area is developed) My understanding is it's somewhat higher...

It doesn't move the needle much, but it does provide cover for 321XLR delays, and I suspect some forced retirement based on the next big check of 332s and possibly 737s. Think the Qld only plan was due to the fact these aircraft were to be kept in the 12J 150Y config until they could go into...

I actually see PER-LHR Sunrise coming sooner rather than later, as due to the flight length it could help with utilisation. Maybe swapped in and out with 787s as aircraft arrive. Eg. I think four aircraft could possibly operate daily on each leg using a SYD-LHR-PER-LHR-SYD pattern. Couod also...

Also been seeing quite a few financial scam ads on YT featuring AI voiceovers using Anthony Albanese. Very poor for such a large organisation.

And a successful launch by ULA of ViaSat3 F2. EIS is early 2026 servicing the Americas per the ULA launch blog.

Think the lack of transit options will mean the majority of international flights remain at SYD until WSI grows into itself and expands. Some international back of clock operations probably the initial exception (eg SQ to SIN and QF/JQ to AKL, maybe with time EK with a midnight departure) with...

What's proposed would be nowhere near large enough for all of QFi., and still I suspect years off. I think at best we see a possibility of narrowbody international (so NZ, Pacific, maybe Bali). Countries that have less risky pax flows possibly allows for more express pax flows. Would also mean...
