This looked like a great deal to me to avoid the hassle of an eSim but I have Telstra Postpaid or "Upfront" or whatever it's called now. It looks like you can't add this pack to a postpaid account and are stuck with the $10/day roaming, i.e. $140 for 14 days! What a rort.

That's interesting, I wonder commercial segment that's targeted at. Is this for tourists on multi-city itineraries, i.e. something like [Europe]->DOH->[AUS]->CNS->HND->DOH , someone visiting Australia and Japan in the same trip?

Wait, Onestar flies to Huron, Beadle County, South Dakota, USA ? That's definitely a new market , gotta be even smaller than the places Bonza tried :)

Vivid is super underwhelming this year and if there are really that many visitors that the hotels are all booked out, I pity them!

Allegedly naked passenger forces Virgin plane to turn around on flight from Perth to Melbourne I know there's been complaints about people dressing too casually at Perth, but this takes the cake!

The St Mary's change will require four journeys up/down: from the T1 line, up stairs/lifts to the overhead concourse, then an escalator down to street level, another one further down to the underground Metro mezzanine, and then finally the last escalator down to the platforms. There's been an...

Some misinformation above about Tokyo, it's absolutely possible to take a direct train from NRT to HND, it's jointly operated by Keisei/Keikyu and is called the ACCESS Limited Express. It takes about 90 minutes and runs every half hour - not too bad given the distances involved and the...

It just refers to a non-revenue flight to get a plane back to base (or wherever it needs to be).

I don't know if anyone gatekeeps the names like this. The local authority can pick whatever they want. Look at "New York Stewart Airport" - 100km and 1.5 hours from NYC, or "Paris-Beauvais Airport" at 80km away from Paris itself ... there are plenty more examples.

This is everyone's expectation in the short term, yes. Long haul would probably only be LCC, like Jetstar or Air Asia, maybe Scoot. There's no way Emirates or SIA (mainline) are moving here anytime soon. It's simply not where the high-yield and connecting passengers are. It will be a slow...

Do you have a new article on that? I saw one on Bloomberg but it's paywalled and can't figure out how to bypass it. But that sounds good, it will help the seatbelt sign be taken more seriously if staff are required to stow their carts and sit down too (as occurs on some Chinese airlines, I...

In the situations where we see A380 diversions due to fog at SYD (usually they go to MEL), would WSI be a suitable point? They can then just bus the passengers to SYD. Or is it likely that fog would affect both areas at once - I'm not sure if WSI still being in the coughberland Plain is...

You don't "check in again" at BLR. You simply drop your bags with their existing labels at the baggage drop counter after exiting customs. They won't be concerned with the number or weight, as far as airline systems are concerned the bags were already checked to their final destination at SYD...

One of the things that stood out to me from this article was "Of the 40 people on the flight still under treatment, 22 patients have spinal cord injuries and six have brain and skull injuries, Dr Adinun said." Twenty-plus people with spinal cord injuries, how many of those will be...

I think it's notable that the press release includes a restatement of the exact allegation, rather than "Qantas does not admit any wrongdoing" or something more generic. I get the feeling that somehow that wording was a result of careful negotiation with the ACCC. Does that mean that the...

For NSW, the Government has indicated the intention to end the Airportlink contract (as always planned) when it expires in 2030, and operate the stations trhough Sydney Trains just like all other stations. While possibly the staff are on different conditions, I can't imagine it's that...

This has been my experience also. The staff member I travelled with was a little unsure, but checked the rules and couldn't find anything banning it, so they agreed to be guested into the lounge. It was domestic so they didn't scan the guests' BP, which the staff traveler was relieved about...

It's hardly "strict" - there's no possible way they have to enforce this, it's not like they are searching your belongings upon exiting India for contraband currency exports, unless you're some kind of international money launderer and they have a tipoff. However, because it is officially...

Dang, too late to make that joke. Does show that Qantas Loyalty was more about being a retailer than anything else though.

I've had lots of small schedule changes like this and my understanding is that as long as it doesn't cause problems with minimum connection time (MCT) to other legs, it will not require a re-ticket. There might be an issue if a schedule change causes a date change (i.e. 2355 changes to 0005 the...
