Did Garuda give any notice of this? Very poor if not. (And even with notice, those are huge increases.)

It's been a little while since the last AFF meet-up in Brisbane. Let's have another one when I'm in town on Tuesday, 20 January 2026. I'm thinking of Wu Kong Kitchen & Bar in the Brisbane CBD as the location, with a start time of 6.30pm. Please RSVP in this thread if you would like to join. :)

@DejaBrew answered this question well. :) Understanding these concepts isn't just useful - they are crucial to the survival of a website like AFF - and most other content-based websites, too. Yes indeed, the traffic that all websites get from Google is declining ever since Google introduced...

That is not completely out of the question. ;)

It's also ridiculous that the refund is a "one-time exception" as a "gesture of goodwill", but at least this got resolved in the end. Thanks @FlyingScotsman for reporting back.

Or if @rbjhan took the train there from continental Europe ;)

I've ended this year on 94 flights, which is the same number as last year but I flew considerably further this year. I also feel like I'm ending this year a lot more tired from all the travel - but perhaps that's an accumulation of several years in a row of rather intense travel. This was also...

There are also days now where Qantas is exclusively using Dash 8s (so no J available) on MEL-CBR. Not sure what's going on but even ADL-CBR, HBA-CBR and BNE-CBR are seeing Dash 8s now at times. I don't love this development as a CBR local.

An interesting list here: https://www.aeroroutes.com/eng/251221-2526flights If anyone wanted to do this, I think the Air New Zealand flight from AKL to RAR would be a prime candidate.

Thank you to everyone for your well wishes, they mean a lot. I'd say that's unlikely! 😝 To be clear, it was 100% my decision to move on. It has nothing to do with cost-cutting and no, I wasn't pushed out. This has been a great job for me for 11 years, but that's a long time in the same...

Thank you for the kind words @Townsend and glad you've been enjoying the podcasts until now. For those who missed that announcement, you can read about it here. I'll still be a part of this community going forward and will probably do a bit of writing on AFF next year, but the last podcast (at...

I'm not seeing this - any chance you could post a screenshot please of an example?

If a hotel is making guests wait 30 minutes for a coffee, maybe they need another barista. ;)

I was offered one at the CBR J lounge today.

How is the customer supposed to reasonably know what the underlying fare class is when the Jetstar website does not show it?

Did you receive maybe an electronic ticket receipt attached to the email confirmation? Does this receipt show a "Fare Basis" at all? E.g. checking one of my LATAM tickets from last year, I cannot find the fare class obviously shown anywhere but I can see that the Fare Basis was GLEKDZ8I. This...

What was the fare class (RBD) of the sector that didn't earn, and is it in this table? https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/earn-points/airline-earning-tables/earn-category-tables.html#latam
