    Virgin CNS-MEL redeye

    Given it’s 100% owned by JP Morgan and the airport already has one of the highest charges in Australia I am sure it’s a case of “show me the money”

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    Training is done before passengers are taken, not on the job. I know one of the A220 sim captains. The issue is the setup of the company and the low pay, not the people, they are poorly supported in the interests of being low cost and it’s very obvious at the coal face. As a comparison look at...

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    Had my first A220 flight today, overall could not really say it was much different to a 737 experience.

    HARS gets a QLINK Fokker

    Network F100 VH-NHO will be departing Perth this morning for the final time. The aircraft will be flown directly to HARS in Parkes NSW as QF 6236. This aircraft entered into Australia 18 years ago in 2008 and has been retired from the Network fleet in 2026. It is great to see that a F100 is...

    Hotel breakfast likes & dislikes

    Westin Taipei had the best breakfast by far, with variety beyond comprehension, sadly now gone. Agree with others re DT KUL, another good one is the Swissotel Foshan. As far as lounge breakfasts go, the Club Sofitel in Melbourne does a reasonable buffet and “the laneways” dish is a standout

    Influencers… influencers everywhere!

    I digress, influencers and you tube muppets didn’t exist years ago. Conde Nest didn’t ring your local bar and offer a review for a $5000 down payment. Anthony Bordaines team didn’t seek the biggest wallets to showcase on no reservations. Lonely Planet didn’t highlight those that remunerated them...
