    Jetstar Boeing 787 refurbishment adding more Business Class seats

    They are moving to a higher density premium cabin which does carry some risk on the commercial side, certainly could be some opportunities to get hold of some cheap upgrades. I was quite surprised they opted for such a high premium cabin, I’d expect a bit of trial and error on pricing/upgrades...

    Jetstar Boeing 787 refurbishment adding more Business Class seats

    7News ran a story on this tonight. ‘Bid Cash’ is coming for Y upgrades. Looks like still perhaps a week or two away and yet to be repainted. Cabin looks now complete, looks like they still working underneath with parts off...

    Virgin Bali expansion, next up CBR-DPS

    Virgin needs to do something with DPS the are losing market share to JQ. I think MCY-DPS was a missed opportunity. Outside of that Darwin, Hobart are a few options.

    JQ Starter Refunds

    They give noting back and they circumnavigate the taxes bit by having a large admin fee. They might have a compassionate policy it’s a death or a family member. Perhaps ask on the chat .

    Looming Jet Fuel Shortages?

    Fairly sure Geelong still produces Avgas. Doesn’t appear to be much though. Let’s see what happens with the oil price today, bit over an hour till open after the weekend pause .

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    It appears that Didi can do dropoffs but not pickups. The Airport needs a bus of some sort. I see the local MP is looking into that but who knows how long. The airport parking fees are not great for locals, at least Melbourne still has $14 per day. I see most walking down that long airport...

    JQ Price Beat Guarantee

    I do miss the old old Tiger days with the price beat, especially when TT wasn’t that popular and they had nice low fares during most peak periods and days. Especially the old ‘taxes only’ fares they had on promos.

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    Do you prefer Didi or Uber in Cairns (for drivers)? I’ve never had any luck with Didi even though I see cars on the map.

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

    I do expect a Covid like surge for the Euro summer if this conflict is someone heading for the exit next month. QF would be wise to up its Perth to Europe schedule if they can source capacity.

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    Are Australian drivers capable of driving at such speeds? Some of the nonsense I regularly see on the roads that are 100 is bad enough. The issue with 120/130 in Oz is I know most will sit 5-10 below the limit which is annoying.

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

    I mean, if you are not needed to arrive on that exact date and time if schedules change last minute, then I would probably chance it, if I had flexibility. I’d have a look at what EY is planning in the comms they put out and see what is actually moving, try to work out if they are getting...

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    I want to go Airport to Smithfield Shopping Centre weekdays around 3pm, Uber estimates are only quoting $30 pool or $40 solo. Am I simply dreaming with these rates and they will simply just cancel?

    Jeju Air Flight 2216 Crashes in South Korea

    Looming Jet Fuel Shortages?

    QF has significant financial commitments due in the coming years. A year or two of deflated earnings (oil aftermath) if it drags on won’t be kind.

    McKinsey & Co article on the economics of an airline flight.

    I think the cost benefits around outsourcing everything is slowing diminishing. Airlines globally are facing cost pressures from all corners, we are seeing many put the investment back into in house engineering, and also with new labour laws rolling in across many nations, the cost advantage of...

    Virgin Australia lounge in Cairns

    They must want a premium on the rent front. No doubt VA attempted to renegotiate post collapse but no dice.
