CPA now flying to/from WTB? Is this to align flights to quarantine facilities being located nearby? In lieu or in addition to BNE flights?

I wonder if Qantas will do this following the instability on the other side. As well as being a good marketing campaign to drum up business for Qantas, it may cushion the blow for many VA members who could potentially lose thousands of miles and their status. It could certainly be a helping...

Good to see crew keeping sharp!

What's the best way to setup an alert for cancelled flights? Would "New Flight Schedule Alert" trigger an alert if the flight was marked as cancelled (as opposed to a timing change)?

Interesting to see VA in Singapore this morning, as a Fokker. Charter flight I presume, although yesterday's flight seemed to be a joyflight... On the way to PHE now, which would be one of few ports in AU it could reach from XSP?

I'm trying to book 1 ticket DOM x INT (eg. SYD-BNE-HKG, same day) on premium economy and the booking engine supposedly suggests I have a 30kg baggage allowance. Elsewhere on the Qantas site, I'm led to believe I receive 40kg, as I've "purchased international and domestic flights and these are...

Paraplegic man sues airport after dragging himself through terminal As per the thread title. He was offered a wheelchair but refused as it would affect his "independence". While a sad story, I feel like at the airport he should be using the available equipment at hand and swallow any pride?

A Bombardier Dash-8 Q400 aircraft operated by Alaska Airlines subsidiary Horizon Air was stolen from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) on Friday night with no passengers on board by a 29-year old airline mechanic. The mechanic had a few screws loose? Horizon Air Q400 Crashes After...

A serious incident occured on MAS 134 leaving BNE where the pitot tubes were covered resulting in unreliable airspeed. Luckily MAS retrurned to BNE, landing safely albeit with hydraulic issues and loss of nose steering. Incident: Malaysia A333 at Brisbane on Jul 18th 2018, unreliable airspeed...

I've just come back from another trip around the world and I'm partially fascinated and partially concerned with the varying ways each airport and jurisdiction processes pax from landside to airside to aircraft. It makes me wonder that some processes are essentially a hindrance (it doesn't need...

I saw this a few days ago and thought I'd share. o_O The FA agreed he'd never seen this before. Maybe I've been sitting in it wrong all this time?

Sydney woman dies of septicaemia on Fiji honeymoon Condolences to the family. I couldn't help but wonder about: Why would they waste time organizing a Gofundme for urgent travel? Surely flights from Fiji to Sydney are relatively affordable, and they could have left before they needed a...

Hopefully the title didn’t hit too many nerves here, this thread is meant to be objective as possible! I recently had the pleasure of flying a Qantas flight for the very first time a few weeks ago, usually having flown Virgin. With these ‘fresh’ set of eyes I thought I would be worthwhile...

Just checked in for a trip. Noticed that on the BP there is a security number, with 3 and 4 the numbers printed on two passenger BP's. What do these numbers mean? Also is it possible that after check in online it may be possible to be upgraded to a higher class behind the scene, or are any...

Just noticed an aircraft heading back to Melbourne (from eastern Victoria) with engines on high throttle. Had a quick look on the MEL flight radar. Noticed that NZ126 was going outbound, with that flight the only flight with a route over eastern Victoria at this time. Now (if that was the...

I took these photos on 19 May at 8.30am, and now have the chance to finally share! Correct me if I am wrong but I'm assuming a Qantas flight from NZ. Melbourne was in thick fog this morning, and it surely was a very fresh morning. Photos taken from eastern Victoria. Sorry for the poor quality...
