That has been mentioned as a (the?) pathway into the CBD for the Airport train. Either way, a change at Sunshine or Footscray would allow access to the metro tunnel if the airport train is destined for loop/SX or vice versa. Yes true. Although an Arden stop would/should be quicker for those...

Some of the red buses could probably now go to Arden instead of Southern X, would provide better service for central CBD, South Eastern and Western suburbs.

Of course the trouble with all of the debt is the cost to service it is the problem, which is much higher now than when many of the projects were conceived.

I guess the 2-2-2 config still beats the competition's cradle seats, so they can play around with the 330 configs they use.

SQ as well, they’ve indicated plans that will see new lounges is new location.

LTIL - after 9 nights in US nice to be home eating breakfast off China plates with metal cutlery and drinking out of glasses and tea cups rather than disposable plastic or paper plates, plastic cutlery and flimsy plastic cups.

Aaah, five stands, does that now mean more likely to have bus rides between the plane and the terminal? Cost prohibitive but MEL would be so much better to be like ZRH with a satellite terminal accessible by people mover to cater for long haul flights.

Or perhaps were pushed by Bain to follow the currently preferred US loyalty approach tying status directly to spend (except AS).

Will be interesting to see what the seasonal flight times actually are for the routes on sunrise. SYD-LHR could be as long as 21.5 hrs (e.g. with seasonal conditions at the moment) , but as short as perhaps 18.5 hrs for LHR-SYD. Noting that JFK/EWR to SIN is flying an eastbound route...

We paid about $1500 SGD ($1700 AUD) for our current trip to NYC in PE from SIN on SQ’s ULH. It was about $300 cheaper for the same dates (over Chinese New Year) than if we’d booked tickets to MEL on SQ in economy. The flights are definitely sold at a premium in business and for last minute...

They could of course go to Ryanair/Easyjet style approach of no weight limit on a smallish backpack but yield manage the charge to take on rollaboards.

For those interested, the Rare Millesime has reappeared in the F lounge at Changi. A welcome return if you enjoy a glass or two before your flight.

Never, ever do these days. Not for many months. They are full enough as it is, and usually the one Australian destination that is always missing from Spontaneous Escapes. Bring on frequency #6

Distance wise remarkably similar to LAX from SYD and MEL. ADD-MEL almost same distance as SYD-LAX and vice versa.

Some how I think the target demographic for these flights is decidedly not the same as the AFF demographic (whether CNS-MEL or PER-East Coast red eyes). When I was in my 20s I would have had no issues with short redeyes. 30 years on, I don't even like long red-eyes.

QR to GRU and then local flight to GIG would be the other option, for the long way around.

Is that Swiss via ZRH or GVA? As Swiss don't fly direct to JFK. In any instance, as long as it is on one ticket you should be protected, noting if they rebook you on UA it won't be to JFK, it would be to EWR, but they might need your OK to do that, and if known to be running late before...

Have to carefully look at T&C around residency though.

Is that BNE, MEL or SYD? I can confidently say that if it is MEL, if they don't give you access to the Qantas Lounge, not a huge loss, although to be fair it is OK at breakfast times. You could use a small portion of your $700 saving to access a paid lounge such as The House, if you really...

The clearing table thing doesn't only happen at breakfasts! I was in Marrakech last month, went to a rooftop cafe, sat down, ordered my drink and some food. After my drink arrived I took a sip, got up and went a whole 3-4 metres to the edge of the rooftop to take some photos of the city...
