Having a look at AirAsia’s DRW-KUL, similar sort of rubbish loads. AUGUST: 35% SEPTEMBER: 42%

Not sure if a glitch but the other week I checked in online 48 hours before and it let me pick any seat (Except X) for free. The seat seems to ‘stick’ once you select it. I then went back and changed it a few times without finalising the online checkin.

They are about 20% exposed going off results. You know very well they will do everything possible to prevent Management taking a hit to metrics on the bonus scorecard. They won’t be waving through hikes out of the kindness of ones heart. They think with personal gain in mind across any decision...

Most US Carriers don’t hedge, ouch! Lucky they have strong balance sheets to navigate this in the short term. For this current half, Virgin is 85% hedged and QF 80%. Bain Capital will be spewing as they had been so close to offloading most of Virgin, then this all started.

Crude $105! Here come the fuel surcharges! Now it’s $110. Fair to say we might hit that $150 by the weeks end.

Try and get hold of a corporate code for peak, some are the same rate year round.

The Adelaide flights taking into account a 60min sign on and 30min sign off would have the shift as local time Indonesia 2245-1130am The Melbourne flight would be 2010-1155am It appears they are only running MEL-DPS 3 weekly in May.

Same with Cairns Jetstar upped to a A321. Then pulled back to the A320 after they left. I think half the issue AirAsia has is with the stupid MOVE booking platform they offer. Back in the day they had a simple booking platform but now they have just made it too confusing. I’m fairly sure...

Just ground the whole lot until this is somewhat sorted out. Feels like we are playing with fire here.

Crude soaring at the moment. I know VA and QF are largely hedged for this current FY, but the US carriers don’t hedge. I’d imagine QF and VA will start upping fares this coming week. VAs first real test under its new model and rising fuel.

I think this is just a small blip, for the moment anyway. I’d say traffic will be impacted over the coming months as those who book 1-3 months out will likely push bookings to other hubs, especially the Asia and Australia to Europe. Pricing will probably drop and going onto peak, margin might...

SQ looks like it’s the most expensive out of all for the coming month. They seem to have bumped up pricing significantly and they will still sell every seat. Good Value still in some Chinese operators.

All holding now.

I feel like you are trying to push some conspiracy theory. It’s simpler! Largest US base in the ME in Qatar!

Iran’s relations with its neighbours seems to somewhat complex, it’s hard to see where this now sits with Iran launching missiles into most neighbours. Qatar have said they have not been getting comms from Tehran before any of these attacks which is apparently at odds with prior communications...

The issue with Qatar seems to be the al-Udeid Air Base which is probably the biggest US target in the region. Iran has made a few attempts to bomb it today. Will need Qatar to talk Iran out of those ambitions.

Well that works for both parties I guess. The traveller who wants an exit option, and the airline who can now flog the available seat off for two to three times the original prior war price.

I guess QF doesn’t have any spare capacity to run an extra PER-CDG/LHR flight every day? I was trying to see if they could sub a A330 away from domestic to free up a 787

All Asian based LCCs airlines have poor form with Darwin. Tiger Singapore back in the day came and went, AirAsia have come and gone before, Jetstar Asia likewise. DRW is a high cost airport probably not helping.
