    Skytrans to Operate Lord Howe Island Route from March 2026 - Take over from Qantaslink

    Reward seats on flights have now appeared and are even discounted under the current promo. At this stage most dates in Jun/Jul/Aug have space but do note this is the low season as it’s colder with some hotels on the island shut over this period.

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    It’s probably about a 10 min uber from most things (nothing walkable) with not a lot nearby but a really nice new modern hotel and good service (probably the best of all 3 Accor’s I stayed at in India but then also the most expensive). For my dates the Oberoi in Delhi was a little under double...

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Looks almost the same view as what I had mid December. Now the app shows numbers looks like I was in Room 334. Odd the different amenity and must admit I never even thought about the metro, got an uber to/from the Taj Mahal and train station.

    Domestic flights from Melb/Syd international terminals

    I guess that was different as he wasn't travelling and requested a refund each time requesting a full cash refund (something not possible on JQ).

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    I've not had any issues streaming videos so I wonder if it's a foxtel app issue? Did you try something else like youtube to see if it worked?

    UM issue highlights systemic VA decline across all areas - will it get better?

    This. VA can check the details in the system and even get CCTV footage from the airport so if the times listed above are right then a complaint is due. Once VA flights are switched over from check in to boarding then it really is too late compared to Qantas who can even move someone onto a...

    UM issue highlights systemic VA decline across all areas - will it get better?

    Something doesn’t quite add up with the story and I think something is missing. I find it hard to believe that the desks were empty 40 mins prior and if true you’ve got a compelling case for a refund or even a charge back of the full original ticket. If you don’t feel comfortable posting the...

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    They need to get approval from the airports. My guess is the Gold Coast airport initially said no to cats but have now said yes hence both routes become cats and dogs.
