    Qantas Launching MEL - HNL from May 2025

    Perhaps, JQ used to fly the route and they have been expanding in BNE. I thought this could be where the BNE-BKK aircraft is coming from but that will most likely be the MEL-BKK aircraft.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    This looks like the perfect breakfast to me, but did it not taste nice? 1721353804 Are those new, larger glasses or is it just the angle of the photo?

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    Well 64 days post sign-up and two escalations later (one each with AGL and Velocity) my 20,000 points have been credited! I also received another "Welcome to AGL" email and then my bill from last month was sent through, so I'm guessing they did some kind of hard reset on my account to get the...

    Plane headphone etiquette: Should you remove headphones whenever you interact with cabin crew?

    Interesting to hear the perspective of an FA on this topic, especially in J. I'd prefer/expect an FA to tap me on the shoulder or interrupt me and offer the water, wine or whatever. Otherwise I'd get off the flight wondering why I was ignored the whole time.

    Qatar in talks to take up to 20pc stake in Virgin

    1. How do you know that? And 2, QR started flying to Australia in 2009, and in 2009 they had a fleet of 67 aircraft, not really "boutique" airline size.

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

    That's very possible if there was an (unlikely) change in government in QLD. They're focus isn't tourism or supporting QLD businesses. 1719283764 North QLD'ers wanting to go to NZ without going via BNE or SYD. Or the backpacker market looking to go to NZ after travelling up the east coast.

    NH route now operated by Air Japan

    Qantas/Jetconnect is a perfect example. QF flights operated by Jetconnect NZ with crews, paid much less than QF AU crews, operating flights from AKL/CHC/WLG to SYD, BNE, MEL; BNE-LAX; AKL-JFK; BNE-SIN.

    NH route now operated by Air Japan

    It's still NH, a lot of their 787 flights are operated by Air Japan (flights to LAX, FRA, SYD, SIN, DEL). The confusion is that Air Japan is now a standalone airline as well.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    I got onto Velocity via their chat function, the agent confirmed I should have received the points by now so they're going to escalate. Now to see how long this takes!

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    It’s now been more than 45 days since I switched to AGL, I’ve also received a bill (despite being on quarterly billing) and no points yet. Called today and was fobbed off, told to call Velocity to confirm why the points haven’t been applied and then call AGL back to get them applied if Velocity...
