    Jetstar BNE to BKK business lounge?

    No idea, and I agree. Especially now that BNE has 787 flights to NRT/KIX/BKK/ICN. Perhaps because it's not a dedicated Business Lounge or QP? Though if a JQ pax with QFF status is flying they can use it, but that's entry based on status.

    Jetstar BNE to BKK business lounge?

    That also won't get access at BNE International. In Australia that gets access at OOL (QC) and SYD/MEL (Business Lounge).

    Jetstar BNE to BKK business lounge?

    There isn't a QC at BNE, there's a Qantas International Lounge which means JQ pax don't get access unless you have QFF status or QC membership.

    New Qantas route - Perth to Paris from July 2024

    I live in Brisbane, so QF are never on the radar for a Europe flight (mainly due to price, but also I'm not taking a 5 hour flight on a 737 first), especially when I have the option of SQ/QR/EK/CX/BR/CI/KE among others.

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    $100 is a great deal for that route and 100% worthwhile. And most aircraft are still fitted with dividers, but even if they're not, J is still a better place to sit for 90 minutes than Y.

    Jetstar launches Various Routes for CNS/CHC/MCY/AKL/DUD/HZL/SYD/OOL

    I don't understand the afternoon departure/late night arrival of both JQ and VA, it's a waste of a day for the passengers.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    I don't understand how an FA dumps that onto a plate, looks at it and thinks "that looks great, I'm happy to present that to the passenger".

    Virgin Australia has Just Dropped a sale! Business class SYD-MEL for $309!

    BNE-CNS or CNS-BNE is also $309. Great value for a 2 hour flight, even with no lounge in CNS for the return.

    Virgin Australia introduces baggage tracking (selected routes)

    This was live last month. It was active for a flight I took from SYD-BNE (but not BNE-SYD the week before). What was interesting is that the VA app, live tracker, airport FIDS and FlightRadar24 all had different departure times for my delayed flight.

    Credit Card Offers Refreshed Amex Velocity Platinum Card Benefits & Offers

    Visited the BNE lounge this morning with a guest. The lounge manager said she knew of the new Amex benefit but hadn’t seen anyone use it yet, and she wasn’t sure how to give me entry. But one of her colleagues knew, and they let me and my guest in (not sure if a guest pass was used or not, I...

    Credit Card Offers Refreshed Amex Velocity Platinum Card Benefits & Offers

    Enrolled for lounge access and made a purchase on Thursday, checked Velocity account today (Saturday) and it’s activated. Which is great as I’m flying tomorrow. I hope access is easy as the website says I just need to provide my VFF number but I need the Amex card for my guest. What’s the bet...

    Qantas Launching MEL - HNL from May 2025

    Current A330's are allocated daily to SINx2, HKG and NRT and DEL 3x pw (but similar days to HNL). I'd say most likely an A332 coming from PER or SYD.
