Hong Kong is becoming ever closer to becoming just another Chinese city anyway. Such that CX is becoming ever closer to becoming anothet Chinese airline, albeit a premium one with much better English and catering much better to the international market. As they say now 1 country , 1.5 systems

There’s three types of SQ business class travellers. Those who fly SQ for the first time and are impressed Those who fly SQ for the first time and are unimpressed Those who fly SQ regularly and are deeply unimpressed and then they fly someone else and miss all the little things they actually...

Maybe it's just star alliance programs that sell miles. But then again they didn't seem to offer much in the way of J class to any star alliance partners other than Aeroplan in recent times (LH Miles & More used to be great, then they turned that tap off suddenly).

SQ tends to block programs who sell miles, I’m surprised Aeroplan seemed to have generous availability for so long.

@Melburnian1 is about time we had a separate thread for JQ 7/8? I mean it would probably be longer than most other threads in this subforum. 🤣 :eek:

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.
