JQ8 tonight now cancelled completely. Well past time to outlaw politician access to the CL and get serious with EU261 style compensation. Let’s hope those hoping to arrive on Christmas morning have been rebooked onto QF36 or QF38, yesterday’s JQ8 (which is now due to depart 23 hrs late) or...

Google suggests tonight’s JQ8 will be departing early on Christmas morning (at 5:30am) arriving mid afternoon. Indeed no flights in the air right now.

At this point they should be required by both AU and SG governments to put a warning for passengers to confirm before completing the purchase that they understand the flight has the worst performance of any flight departing or flying to Australia and that it is entirely likely you will arrive...

There’s a certain type of person who thinks if they pay for something they can do what they like and damn anyone else. Obviously including flinging faeces all over the wall.

Working in the agricultural space , the farm question always was a difficult one., as quite often would have been on a farm within the 30 days before coming back to visit Australia. In the end I take the question it is asking in relation to my shoes and clothing - not me personally - as the...

Hope so! It seems to work ok in T4 car park. To be fair, the current design, with multiple lanes and loads of pick up bays, should work in theory. The big fail is accounting for human behaviour - people practically park in those spots for 5-10 mins, instead of waiting somewhere else until...

The Fustercluck that is MEL Airport Arrivals pickup at T1/2/3. No wonder touts have business there. The whole thing needs nuking and start again. OK, maybe I'm spoilt with Changi, but I think if you had to design a pick up area for an airport of MEL's passenger levels, it would be a good...

Yes, apparently, don't get into the car, or particularly don't put luggage into the boot until verifying the PIN with the driver. Scammers get you into the car, and drive off with PIN not valid or the like.

Interesting. Not a requirement for DPS-SIN flights, I’ve done a few over the years, including KLM twice this year and never had secondary screening. Must be a JQ requirement.

Not for the businesses where cash is substantially less than electronic forms of payment. I bet a chunk of that cash never makes it way to the bank.

For a few businesses, cash is substantially less expensive to handle than electronic forms of payment. Not just by a few % points. either . Which is yet another reason to ban surcharging of electronic means of payment.

Commentators always love the more money per seat metric, but it’s not the only metric airlines worry about as costs per seat are higher in business class too. I think it’s more a function of having lighter seats and squeezing more in to get incremental revenue than pushing people into...

You book in the premium economy section of a LCC (ScootPlus) because that might be more comfortable and peaceful. Your partner just went for the regular economy seats a bit further back with just 30pc extra legroom. He gets a quiet cabin with 3 seats to himself. I get the noisiest...

Third. Turkish is based at IST which is on the European side of the Bosphorus.

In many parts of the world on short haul flights, full service carriers double as LCC's at least when travelling in economy. The line is becoming increasingly blurred.

Based on the comments of @jase05 in this thread, it will be a major freight hub, even without passengers. Workers are needed to serve freight operations. There's also the Airport Business Park (linked to the freight facilities?) that the metro line will serve a separate station to the...

It makes sense as in theory there are three options to managing displaced pax - JQ43/42, QF35/36 and QF37/38. It used be very common for JQ pax to be moved onto QF, or even EK back when they operated the route. Anecdotally though now it seems less likely to happen and even like today...

Quite the opposite, I did mention a MCT of 60 hrs! In fact I am travelling on JQ7 on a Sunday with the hope of making "connection" to a separate ticket at Tuesday morning @ 9am . No way would I risk this "connection" from the Monday flight, 15 hrs is simply not long enough for separate...

And also in the catchment for those who will be working at the airport, or businesses nearby to the other stations on the line. It's not just about passengers.

Good luck! 105 minutes in fine - either you will make it easily , or you'll miss it by a long shot! No in between. Although do notethe JQ7 flights that actually leave MEL on time often do a few laps over Batam before landing (as does QF35) due to ATC (congestion/storms etc). But looking...
