    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    No-one really knows. But particularly if there isn't a gate fee at WSI Airport (there isn't a private party involved in funding), then I suspect there will be a lot of pressure for SYD to have the same..

    Scams like these

    Seen some interesting FB posts (mostly from US/ UK) to date, but I'm sure it will hit us soon of fairly sophisticated CC scams. Basically they call you (seemingly having both your CC number and phone number).. claiming to be from the fraud department and querying some recent transactions...

    Koala Airlines Discussion

    Koala has a new logo and website, including an AI Koala... https://koalaair.com.au/ The logo looks worse than the latest Qantas kangaroo imho, particularly around the face.

    Things Virgin Australia Does & Doesn’t Do Well

    Agree that VA has the prime position, but on my (admittedly small number) experiences the QF lounge has been perfectly Ok. The OOL VA lounge often seems to have better catering than SYD and MEL however The hours that impact those travelling on JQ are a bit penny pinching from QF however.

    "Coffee tax" creeping into IHG hotels

    Equally though a small upcharge can prevent a 10-15min wait particularly when some are perfectly happy with a machine.
