AY and JL flight times on HEL-HND are about the same (13.5 hours) but they each take a different route. JL goes south through eastern Europe then across central Asia and China. AY goes north to take the polar route then down over the Pacific.

They haven't resumed JFK yet.

Is that considered north Asia? QF haven't returned to HKG yet anyway.

Not disagreeing with you about QF's routes these days, but it's not quite as you mention. - They fly to 5 NA cities not 6 (HNL/YVR/SFO/LAX/DFW (now from MEL and SYD)). - There is only two cities served in north Asia (HND and ICN), which is less than 3 years ago when they flew to...

They're still going Transit Tours | Discover Qatar. I was in transit in November and wanted to do the city tour but couldn't get a Hayya card.

I've often had the CM show J pax what the meal looks like. Used to be from a printed service document now it's on the iPad. Makes deciding very easy!

BNE has always been a QSuite destination. QR have 3 (or could be 4) different 77W configurations, the aircraft used to BNE is the one with two J cabins with QSuite.

Delta bought ex-Lion Air 737-900’s.

You think Australian sparkling wines are like apple juice?

I was at DOH for 21 hours in October, had access to the Gold lounge. It was busy in the early morning and evening but enough seats for everyone. Food was self-serve but drinks were from the bar. During the day there were more staff than pax in there. I had three showers and never had to wait to...

The new concourse has another Al Mourjan lounge plus new Gold and Platinum lounges.

I had my QR FF on the booking so was able to choose them without charge.

Unfortunately, it does not. I flew with them recently and also had QR Gold (thanks to the VA status match) so was able to get the extra legroom and UD Y seats for free. Extra leg room I'd pay for, UD Y was lovely (very quiet, half-empty cabin) but I wouldn't necessarily pay for it, especially if...

The rules are based on the operating flight. If they’re on a QR flight with VA status then lounge access is available.

BA don’t allow OWE into their F lounge (Concorde lounge). And outside of OW, SQ also don’t allow Star Gold into their F (or J) lounges.

Actually I did see that the inside of the winglets on NBV has the updated “Virgin” written on them.

It looks like a good old Virgin Australia hangar party, nothing to announce.

The 787-10 must have been a once-off as both flights are scheduled as 77W.

Good to hear that was sorted, but just something to note, your MAN-AUH flight was either on a 787-10 or 787-9. Looking at FR24 for the last few days there was a day where one of the AUH-MEL flights was operated by a 789 instead of a 77W, that must have been the day you were due to travel.
