    Moving to 10 weekly during peak also.

    New airline (TransNusa) to fly Perth- Bali

    Double checking, I can’t anything that permits the aircraft to fly here. It’s a very bizarre statement to make.

    New airline (TransNusa) to fly Perth- Bali

    I don’t think the Comac is permitted to fly here until CASA approves it, which would likely not occur until the FAA or EASA does so. Darwin to Lombok is a weird one, Perth to Lombok would work and I’m surprised nobody has launched that yet...

    Is Velocity estore working for anyone?

    The whole platform is rubbish. I clicked send a text for verification, and it just keeps sending emails. No text!

    Ask The Pilot

    How are aircraft wheels/traction on a wet runway? Do you need to take a different rudder approach on a wet runway?

    Air Asia is back and looking to add A220s

    Engine costs have grown significantly since 2019 though. I think it’s going to be tough in the LCC space moving forward for those operating newer fleets in lower yield markets like intra Asia, keep an eye on some who are holding onto mid life aircraft now. Turkish was out recently talking about...

    Qantas to start flights from Darwin to Singapore

    Wonder if that’s now a crew return from Darwin, ie no more overnighting.

    Air Asia is back and looking to add A220s

    AirAsia talk big on fleet but never actually deliver. They had 100 A339s on order, that never eventuated. Continued to push back other deliveries also. I agree that the A330s have been a financial drain on the carrier and should go, XLR should plug that gap nicely whilst ceding some longer...

    Melbourne Passenger Capacity Issues

    I can only imagine the queues for taxi and rideshare on that filthy sidewalk, welcome to Melbs! I was walking down that way last week, it’s just filthy down kerbside. Rubbish everywhere, dirty floors, and then the touting. Sydney to Melbourne looks fairly sold out tomorrow, cheapest fare is on...

    Velocity E Store 1,000 bonus points for $50+ Shop

    Chemist Warehouse click and collect is one of the easiest way to rack up points. That’s IF I can actually navigate through velocity without getting server errors, login errors. Platforms are just useless. Verified my phone number just now for login ‘sever error’. Previously I would get error...

    VA's Audience Demographic

    Any word on the AFL contract? That ended in December and have not seen much in the way of renewal yet. It was out for tender last year and QF was chasing it according to some reporters. Expecting to hear to won that contract in the coming weeks.

    VA's Audience Demographic

    I use JQ for some of the more unique flight that the others don’t, like AVV, OOL-CNS, those sort of routes they have to themselves. On the occasion ie last minute when fares are pricey and there is a big difference, I will fly them. Jetstar are terrible on MEL-SYD and SYD-BNE for cancellations...

    VA's Audience Demographic

    They say small business, but they would still have eyes on those larger contracts. Bigger corporates are looking for savings, Virgin might offer a better deal. My previous employer (top ASX) pushed most travel to VA a few years ago. The seem to be after the value customer, those who don’t want...

    Jetstar to fly to Singapore, Bangkok & coughet from Perth in 2024

    I agree. Dump the Jetstar PER-SIN which is now just a token frequency and run double daily XLR Lie Flats. The low cost traffic on SIN routes will simply stick with Scoot. Jetstar need to concede defeat in Singapore and put its resources elsewhere. DPS-SIN is the only route they should hold.

    Jetstar to fly to Singapore, Bangkok & coughet from Perth in 2024

    PER-MNL seem to be performing a bit softer. I recall HKT was popular on Virgin way back in the day also, was a 737 from Perth I think. I wonder if a route like Kota Kinabalu, Da Nang, Lombok would work? Perhaps the 320Neo.

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    Is some reports out there that seem to think that. I was reading something that by xx year they intend to overtake Mascot and the end result was WSI flying the bulk of the traffic and Mascot the scraps. I will try to find it. I think it’s just madness but that’s just me. Unless WSI can get...

    Awful VA crew between Kalgoorlie and Perth

    I would expect a more detailed complaint like this to go through to Cabin Crew Management and the said person subject to a chat etc. No idea how the Management structure works with cabin crew, I assume each major base has a Management structure that people report to?
