    General Discussion/Q&A on Coronavirus (COVID-19)

    The United States are way behind when it comes to testing. Given that they have just distributed a bunch more test kits and both numbers quoted have increased dramatically the numbers will start to even up very soon.

    DFAT Warning [Do NOT Travel overseas]

    Virgin Australia have just announced it is cancelling 100% of all international flights till June. Sorry I missed the start date. So yes, it is seeming to be more a case of being able to get home... by commercial means

    DFAT Warning [Do NOT Travel overseas]

    I think there is more to it, the people that mentioned it to me are not those that would just say something for the sake of it. Also, just had a msg from a colleague in the U.S. who is based in Seattle and is currently in California, his work rang him at 3:30am advising he needs to get to LAX &...

    Whats the best USA sim card deal at the moment?

    From talking to someone this afternoon, the plan that they are currently on with AT&T no longer allows tethering, plus it used to be an unlimited plan. However that is just one plan, from one person, personally I have not looked at AT&T's offerings

    Whats the best USA sim card deal at the moment?

    Tethering gone yes... Unlimited has not gone, HOWEVER... once you hit 5GB you will be slowed to 3G or lower data speeds (they still haven't updated the T&C's on the My Account page, as Tethering is still an inclusion) I visited a corporate T-Mobile store yesterday, and they rang head office...

    Whats the best USA sim card deal at the moment?

    I have been in the U.S. for the past 2 weeks using my T-Mobile SIM... Originally it was unlimited, but the last renewal only 5GB/4G then watered down was available. I have tried to tether using various hacks, none worked. It just comes up with a message on the other device to contact T-Mobile...

    AA's Admirals Club 30-day Membership: QF lounge access?

    With the exception of the Flagship lounges the QF pubs are far superior to most AA lounges. In regards to refreshments, most have a soda and coffee machines, plus have pretzels and cookies for snacks. Some bring out Veggie trays in the afternoon, but not all. Drinks at the bar are mostly free...

    AA's Admirals Club 30-day Membership: QF lounge access?

    Sorry to all parties if my tone came across abruptly or rudely... just it was getting frustrating that the answers being given (away from AFF, by AA) had nothing to do with the actual question being asked. Based on Oneworld status, you have no access rights at all without Emerald or Sapphire...

    AA's Admirals Club 30-day Membership: QF lounge access?

    Por930 why are you complicating things??? As has been stated numerous times you have access with your PAID Qantas Club membership. It has nothing to do with OneWorld reciprocal rights. (they are quoting access based on this) So far this year I have travelled with colleagues who are exactly in...

    Directly from AA when I enquired over the weekend regarding the drastic change in some P/A fares that changed last Friday (some 300% increase)

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    I believe 2-5-2 is not possible due to the trim (weight distribution of the aircraft) plus the interior would need unique fittings which would significantly increase the cost of the new aircraft. Think of it this way, you would effectively need to stand on the aisle seat, or move right into the...

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    It was simply based on the calendar view available, and yes, it changes every day... that I can attest to after almost 9 years of standby travel in my last job. The numbers are mainly used by staff who have access to the staff travel portal to check demand etc on certain days... it offers no...

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    I just checked with my neighbours, both QF CSM's and he said he thinks staff travel will not be included in seat utilisation figures. He also logged into his magic iPad and showed me the waitlist numbers for all JQ3/QF3 & JQ4/QF4 flights for the next month, plus just as many AD75, AD90 bucketed...

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    For some reason I think that only covers revenue passengers, not staff travel. For those that travel on these sectors would understand, you usually have up to and over 25 staff trying to get on the flights most days. When I was there a few weeks ago, there were 30 pax travelling as...

    JQ schedules 787 to HNL from Feb

    Not likely to happen on JQ3/4 as a good time of the year they are running at close to capacity. I am also in the same problem, the 2 others I fly with are both aisle people, and I prefer a window, which was easy to do with the 2-4-2 config... 3-3-3 means we either take a risk of having someone...
