Qantas website updated to suggest the Gate 24 lounge is now open. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/qantas-experience/at-the-airport/airport-lounges/all-qantas-airport-lounges/airport-lounge-locations.html/syd/International-business-Lounge.html

Supposedly. But we haven't seen one yet (was thinking OQC might have had it done during its lengthy return to service checks). Reportedly more complex than the 787s as the 787s were pre-wired in the factory for the hump and the various wifi access points

Think QF11 was cancelled on Sat due to the SYD-JNB diversion to MEL and cre out of hours. Hopefully LAX maintenance can quickly fix OQC. Nothing like real world testing I guess

On the seatback without TV screens should be noted that is the QF Domestic standard going forward (BYO device), and refurbed 738s will also have TV screens removed as they receive a cabin overhaul and new seats from 2026. (And similar for Jetstar 787s)

What route stops for this one (or switches to 321s?)? Edit - From prior analyticflying analysis it possibly replaces SYD-HNL which ran in this slot last year.

Definitely a tight season and lots of little moments that with hindsight could have had any of the top 3 winning it. Also a season where individual driver and car characteristics changed who was the fastest car from race to race, and allowed others into the top 3. Hopefully next year will be...

Can't see the carnage that Oscar nees unfortunately.

I don't see either BA or VA fully doing the American system. The American system doesn't give elites lounges access on domestic itineraries full stop (you need paid club access). And instead trades that for actual (or perceived) greater access to free upgrades. The American airlines have...

Should actually be leaves 5 in ASP. X3A C H P R X3P and R are still in the older ex-Tiger/Scoot 180Y layout

Not a bad starting position for Oscar.. He can sit there and watch and take risks by doing the opposite to Lando. I predict Lando will be told to be conservative at the start and whatever happens just stick on Max's tail the whole race. Max needs to try and take risks however so that might...

Definitely Qantas First. No-one yet knows what the Temp lounge will be like (but its location is a dungeon) and Plaza Premium is nothing special.

Different timing of both programs and probably an engine replacement at some point. Last Fleet update (start of year) had 11 of 22 SSWs installed, query the new ex-SQ aircraft) and only 6 of those in Silveroo. Probably add a few to both numbers by now.

Agreed with those comments for Y. For the early morning arrivals in J I'll typically say let me sleep and just give me a coffee as close to landing as you can.. I don't care much for airline breakfasts and will have another coffee and food when I get home.

Didn't help Daniel I'm Italian but can't even properly pronounce my surname.

Simply hasn't yet been repainted yet. OQI is a Jan 2011 delivery so the paint job is coming up on 15yrs. Also a number of 332, 333 and 738s still carrying the older 2007-2016 livery. On OQC possibly some more maintenance that couldnt be conducted in LAX. On the SydSquad livestream a poster...

Poms going to lose a lot of match fee (and championship points) if Australia can bat for 7 overs

Given they happily parted out the younger OQE and OQF, don't see that being an issue
