    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Did they screw the offer up? Normally when they offer those deals with two spend options you need to pick which one you want, they never had that option.

    Virgin Australia orders 8 Embraer E190-E2 jets for delivery from 2025

    I was actually shocked that QF didn’t even offer a mainline service on this route, even just weekdays. Would be another good route for its A220, no doubt will occur eventually. It gets worse in WA when you pay ridiculous pricing to end up on some old ex Spirit A319 with Qantas or the old Tiger...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    3000 points for $150 spend for the 5th week. Average weekly spend so not really an issue unless Coles does something more attractive.

    Appears the F100 has now exited passenger service. A320 VNJ hasn’t flown for a week might be out also. 737 VUG finishing mid next week according to one FB post.

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    Storms up the FNQ coast causing some issues tonight. Virgin 1297 MEL-CNS conducted a hold with a Jetstar A320 from a prior missed approach, then conducted a missed approach. Now diverting to BNE. That’s a long flight. Expect some potential challenges later next week appears a whole lot of rain...

    United to Fly to Adelaide

    Id imagine the SA government and tourism bodies won’t want to lose it so I’d expect it to be funded for many years ahead securing its future. It’s when the tap is turned off or eased is the question.

    Virgin Australia orders 8 Embraer E190-E2 jets for delivery from 2025

    Having been on a F100 between ADL-BNE recently I can’t help l think that this E2 aircraft would be suited to the route. Could run PER-ADL-BNE and return. ADL-BNE is a route that has been given poor product by both main carriers in recent times, QF offloaded it all to Alliance, Virgin runs...

    DRW - BNE in just 12:35

    I always thought they did these pairings to simply dump pax on a connecting sector that perhaps isn’t as ‘peak’ as a more attractive earlier connection therefore increasing revenue. I’ve had this on some Sydney connections before, arrival was late arvo, but they didn’t offer a connecting flight...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    I’d say being the last week to the FY it’s probably more a last minute revenue grab vs anything else. Firms up spend for the last week of this FY and first of the next, building some last minute momentum either side.

    Skytrans to Operate Lord Howe Island Route from March 2026 - Take over from Qantaslink

    I’m sure the government can bail them out like Rex.

    Skytrans to Operate Lord Howe Island Route from March 2026 - Take over from Qantaslink

    They only need two aircraft for the route looking at the schedule, is the third a spare? I thought the contract negotiated would take three aircraft into account.

    TIL an A330 can fly with a ripped off winglet.

    My last flight on the 330 the wall piece was falling off down the bottom, it was sort of pushed in with a bit of plastic holding it semi in place. I raised it with the CC when they had been walking past as it ended up falling off and she said oh that’s normal they will add it to the long list of...

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    They have plenty of cash on hand, and even with reduced earnings shouldn’t have any issues with its current loans having a brief look. They won’t be getting the initial intended return on investment however, and I’d expect the share price to languish a bit. I can’t see the A220s covering the...

    Virgin Au Domestic - Cancellation Waived?

    I’d call them and ask the question, I would say extremely unlikely. I would imagine for illness they will push you to travel insurance. Death is covered by the compassionate policy. Some cases which hit the media often get refunded also.
