The mid life 737’s and Dash 8s will take the place of the leased E190s eventually, old 737s owned in house are cheaper than leased

As 25 closes, 26 is looking busy. First up will be in Feb heading to China/Macau & Japan for three weeks, my first time with JAL. Usual Chinese carriers had too many OMG departures. Easter sees a trip over the ditch pencilled in for Warbirds over Wanuka, backseating a P51. The Pilatus should be...

No real woes as such, they own their planes etc, however the folk who worked out the QF contract took an optimistic view on opex being the same as post covid and the parts shortages blew that out of the water. As a result they are trying to renegotiate the deal. I suspect Qantas could quite...

Note only the base room can be reserved generally and you need to stay for min 2 or 3 nights depending on the property. You cannot use more than one credit per stay.

But not for Business Rewards, you need to ring and ask for original routing credit for business rewards for the flight that was changed by Qantas

Should be, it’s not part of the QFF t&C’s and the customer completed the contract requirements to earn QBR points, so should be given ORC. The phrase you use when asking for a manager at QBR, essentially asking for credit based on flights booked before changes were made by QF. When Qantas sold...
