    SC Run - BNE > CNS > BNE?

    I have done the BNE CNS BNE a few times, including in J class. It is the best value option ex-BNE unless there is a big sale on MEL. Ensure you look at the flights to make sure you book on the 737-800 to get a valid J class booking. If they then change the aircraft down to a 737-700 or an Ejet...

    Business Class Trip Report

    I flew Cairns Brisbane yesterday. Very bumpy flight however I had the comfort of a new BSI aircraft with Business Class seat to satisfy me.

    Business Class Trip Report

    I flew CNS BNE in late January in J class. There was a last minute aircraft change to a 737-700 without J class. I lodged my complaint on the website 1st February and received a response today. I am happy with the response time of 9 days (they state 21 days) and the recovery (credit) provided.
