    1 hr connection AKL

    Hi all I'm going to be doing a flight on NZ, namely flying into CHC - AKL - ADL. VA's website offers a flight with a one hour connection time. I would prefer this option over the Australian transit options as it is the shortest time and I don't have to fluff around collecting baggage in two...

    J cabin on non-business marketed routes

    So I've been thinking about booking a trip overseas (I mean tassie!) for a bit of an adventure, likely LST. DJ fly all three different birds there each day (via MEL), E90, 737, 738.

    Using seat selection to try and get free middle seat

    So I logged on to update seat selection for my return flight and I see this on my outbound flight. Now when I travel with my family (four) I never do this. I'm just a considerate person! Does this stuff work if the flight is empty? It must annoy staff - this flight is relatively full and if...

I...

    What’s in a brand? Ruminations on Virgin Australia and Qantas | Australian Aviation Magazine Article is ok at best, but the comment quoted below from a pilot I found very interesting. I believe QF might call this lowering their cost base?
