Slow clap for network 10 the crucial point of the race being hidden with advertizing.

I hate street circuits with fresh paint, may as well spray cooking oil at random parts of the track.

And they wonder why travel writers have no job security: Judging by the numerous comments to this article from the readers, not too many people gullible enough to swallow that kind of PR/spin/fluff anymore, so really makes me wonder how sustainable the entire travel journalism...

Maybe it would be parts availability or even complete engine inventory? As I understand it engines (or their components) run out of hours and need to be replaced/serviced/overhauled as part of a planned maintenance thing that would not be a surprise, but there would be the additional complexity...

Its such a predictable path: Bean counters -> lowest common denominator -> no compelling consumer selling point -> failure of business

Yep I had success for the first time a few days ago, but it was pretty special circumstances being a BNE-ADL flight on Thurs, my minimum bid was rejected outright, but then amended and accepted a day later because obviously they wanted to free up as many Y seats on what VA thought might be the...

It was reported in the Business section of The Australian that he was indeed among those keen to eliminate J class from VA aircraft entirely and I would expect he might have been part of the decision-making team about the DRW and CNS lounges. Spent some time in management at Southwest Airlines...

Yeah it is so slow compared to the previous Stocard app. Slow to open, and slow to pull up the selected loyalty card barcode.

So the terms of this offer - must be booked before March 31st and must be flown before March 31st? Correct?

Yeah - this is all about Airbus and Boeing being unable to deliver new aircraft, engine shortages, and seat shortages plus all the other post-Covid supply chain disruptions going forward (read: international trade wars and tariff/export bans), so not really a Qantas-specific thing but more of a...

I think the info missing here is that the OP already has flights from SYD-BNE and has a hire car booked from BNE airport and was booked to return that hire car to BNE airport, but they have since changed their flights and have now booked MCY-SYD-CHC so they would be hiring a car at BNE airport...

You are probably right, there are a number of charter flights to a surprising number of destinations/mine sites from BQB already, I hadn't realised there were that many.

It might be handy for FIFO workers who live in BQB but have a charter flight leaving PER to work on WA mine sites early on Mon or Tues morning and who fly from site back into PER on Mon or Fri (so there might be some sort of 5/2/3/4 or 8/6 or 7/7 or 14/7 roster that this would work for and would...

Agree and also probably one of the better time-efficient options for CNS locals to get to much of North America now without too much backtracking.

Would have made life a lot easier for themselves without converting a A330 to freight as well..... EBF has been sitting on the ground quite a lot with poor utilization, when it could have been in the air making money on PER-East Coast and International Asia runs - for which the A330 is ideally...

Good article Matt and yes your Madrid connection ended up costing the airline much more than the value of the ticket. As for domestic connections in Australia, you just need a shower of rain/windy day or one ATC controller calling in sick in either BNE MEL or SYD and the entire network and...

That does not sound much like the right priorities for an airline that is in administration, is suffering staff shortages, training shortages and aircraft availability issues and cancellations. I can only assume that one of the idiots running Rex a while ago signed a binding contract for this...

Its only a 1 hour flight, they are padding out the 3 hours as pick up from town, drinks and snacks and then drop off to markets etc, I think I paid about half of that for a 30-minute jaunt in a DC-3 at Wanaka pre-Covid, so those prices and operating costs aren't completely unrealistic when you...

Until a suitable replacement aircraft comes along for the Saab 340 (or the price of used Dash 8s/ATR42s or something else comes down to get over the capital hurdle) that might be the way it plays out as a realpolitik thing. To be fair Rex had a Covid/VA being bailed out/epically stupid...

Oh OK fair enough - for some reason my Amadeus bookings on Qantas never naturally migrated/appeared into the Tripcase web site (once booked on the Qantas website with a PNR created), maybe that was just a me thing rather than a widespread issue. I haven't installed the Tripcase App myself so...
