Most (all?) banks have a SWIFT code. This is only needed for international transfers. It is usually not needed for domestic transfers. So if IB were transferring from a domestic US bank account the SWIFT code is superfluous information - thus when provided with it, my take on this is that...

Surely it's not about plans to stay illegally, but whether the CBP think that you at risk of doing so. All the media articles suggest people with links to the US (such as having had a long term visa to stay there, past or present, having marital or relationship connections with a US citizen or...

I read it the other way around, that it could not be refunded via Swift. If OP gave them the swift number (unnecessarily), that could cause agent to say "computer says no" . If OP just gave them the ACH and account numbers, it might well have been OK.

Yes and I think these should suffice for intra-US transfer. I understand SWIFT number is only required for international transfers.

Unless you are in relationship (thus could be considered Domestic Partners), it is against the T&C, as you can only redeem tickets for or transfer points to "eligible family members". However as long as you are not doing this routinely and/or selling points/tickets through public forums...

It's odd they offer it in the first place. Because I would have thought if they are transferring from within the US they don't need SWIFT (the Wise account is a US account), but if they are transferring from outside the US I would have thought any US account needs SWIFT. Although who knows...

One thing worth trying is to do individual airline searches. Sometimes that returns different results than the general “star alliance” search or “smart search”.

The Senior myki gets extra benefits - such as free weekend travel - that are it would seem not offered to interstate and international visitors. So yes it seems there are different types of concession mykis.

No doubt it will be, particularly for late evening departures. But I can’t see it being attractive for flagship routes such as sunrise that are targeting the premium market. WSI-LHR has probably as much chance of happening as SYD-LGW.

Many gated stations have an open gate which you can pass through along with the fare evaders. 🤣 If not, show a staff member who will let you out. The third option is tailgating, rare, but I think I had to do that once at Footscray (where I was connecting between Vline trains and trying to...

The talk of early arrivals is really not that relevant to sunrise unless Qantas decides to operate completely different schedules during summer vs winter. Due to LHR constraints assuming a take off of 10:30pm at the latest during Australian summer landing time would be around 5:30am but during...

I wonder when (or rather if) the train comes to MEL if they’ll have a bus that routes via Keillor East so people can avoid the invariably extortionate gate fee they charge at the airport itself. 🤣 (like Mascot).

With Wise can’t you just the ACH (routing) number and account number for USD transfer? No need for SWIFT code with ACH. Or for EUR transactions just the IBAN number? We did the latter for recent claims with Vueling.

I think I've mentioned it before, if you want to avoid purchasing a Myki and your travel in Melbourne will last longer than 2 hours, you can get a ticket from Vline (for example Beaufort to Melbourne on first train of the day). It will be cost $11 and can be purchased using credit cards...

I think even without them stating it, we could assume they wouldn't as it would defy logic to operate sunrise to/from WSI. In aiming to command a premium for non-stop I don't think it would be in any plans to dump passengers 90 minutes from the city in normal scheduled operations. Would...

Do they have three evening slots? Going back to the days when they used to fly via SIN x 2, BKK and HKG connections to LHR, QF2(BKK/SYD) and QF10 (SIN/MEL) used to depart in the evening, whilst QF30 (HKG/MEL) and QF32 (SIN/SYD) used to depart around midday. But who knows, they might to...

And if you want further complication, throw in plane rotations with the JFK service, although I think most of us suspect the schedule for JFK will be similar to QF3/4, except leaving SYD later and arriving back earlier.

But it's also about choice, what drives traffic is both product and frequency. EK, SQ, QR all have multiple options out of LHR, having a 2-3 options could aid QF in the market. For some a 3pm departure equate to leaving for the airport at midday, so more or less writing off the day, whilst...

It could also be the other way around, it has been argued that the A380 is too big for the market following sunrise, so you could turn the A380 around in SIN and deploy it elsewhere, such that the A380 from SYD meets up with a 787 from BNE but the SYD flight number continues on to LHR (or the...

They could of course downguage the flight to suit a smaller market and even originate it in BNE. Also there’s a matter of timing - the Sunrise flights will be unable to operate out of London in the evening and arrive in Sydney early morning (at least for 6 months of the year). During the...
