With the impending merger between USAirways and American Airways is there any point in continuing to accrue USAirways Dividend Miles given the number of miles required for awards and the lack of Oneworld airlines operating from Australia (other than Qantas for which awards are far too expensive)?.

From iol.co.za Qantas not kid(ding) around "Would you pay a shed load of money just to sit next to your own child on a plane? It may sound like a silly question, but one airline is assuming you’ll do just that. When I heard the news that Qantas had started charging for parents to sit with...

These fares are the new "Seats to suit" product which in effect makes the fare the same as a LCC fare. A full service fare is still in the region of $219 (Works, "Economy today")- $299 (Works deluxe).

Yes, a profit on domestic routes but they are losing money on international routes (VA) and if they do not start making a profit on these routes VBA will have to shut VA down. The share price is a pretty good indicator of the financial condition and future propects of any company. I am sure...

I was on QF453 last night (15/08/09) and someone was shining a green laser onto our aircraft coming into Melbourne. At first I thought that I was looking at a traffic light but then realised that it was far too bright. I think that the danger is that it would be distracting for pilots when they...

Will they actually fly the route once if the capacity is granted, or will they just block the capacity and then fail to utilise it like they did on the South Africa route?

It was announced last year that V Australia would be flying to South Africa from August this year increasing to five flights a week by October. Does anyone know if this is still likely to happen? Since the announcement the effects of the GFC are being felt in Australia and V Australia have...
