Caught up in the Brisbane storms with a bit of wind (Language warning for the video)

Recently shifted my mobile to Woolworths Mobile as I think they have the best deals of the Telstra MVNOsfor low-medium data users (Aldi is also good), particularly if you regularly shop at Woolworths. Unlikely to suit heavy data users. Benefits - Telstra network in the whole - 10% once only...

A warning for those dealing with franchisees rather than company owned outlets. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-07/helloworld-travel-agent-goes-bust-travellers-fight-for-refunds/100435274 Quite some poor behaviour imho in not immediately passing on refunds and taking full payment without...

Flown to Malta for repainting. Suggestion being that if they'd agreed with the Doctor Peters for a repaint, then it's not getting scrapped. Aircraft in question only 10.5 years old and serial #40. AF has one older aircraft but with a different lessor...

Following on from prior closed thread, didn't realise Rome2Rio had been developed by two Australians. Certainly been a useful site for me on a number of occasions. But good on them, great and all the best...

Under construction - due to open 2021. About 20mins South of Auckland Airport, being developed by NZ Bloodstock (horse racing). Relatively small at 120 rooms and Doubletree managed. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/property/114200008/new-hilton-hotel-coming-to-karaka Also didn't realise that...

Hilton has proposed a Canberra hotel https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6322741/hilton-pitches-canberra-hotel-proposal/ Proposed as part of an unsolicited proposal involving a World Trade Technology Centre park, so a long way off being final

Reports over on airliners.net that Virgin is going to get the split scimitar winglets on 20-25% of its 737 fleet (so 16-20 aircraft). First aircraft VH-YIV currently in CHC getting the refit, and believed the other YI* aircraft will also get it (these are mostly 2011-13 deliveries and equipped...

From posts on airliners.net @whatsaptodo @QF744ER NO detail on when his is likely to commence or how long it's for (OEB can't have that much life left in it)

HiFly has confirmed it's taking a single A380 ex SQ. Now up on its website A380 | 9H-MIP - Fleet | Hi Fly Former 9V-SKC which was owned by Doric. The other three 9V-SKA, SKB and SKD which are owned by Dr Peters are now parked at Tarbes Airport in France Will be interesting to see who leases it.

An interesting analysis of QF schedules from @vhebb on airliners.net from Sep 2018 So likely less 332s on domestic routes and a possible downguage (at least for Y seats) on some Asian routes.

Qantas Instagram is hinting at a new Indigenous Livery.

And we thought QF annouced things ahead of time. Well LH as announced a new J class product for its 777s .. to come into service in 2020. At least it will be before BER Airport Lufthansa News on Twitter Lufthansa News on Twitter

Sometimes Lucky comes through with some good stuff. Like QF is getting 789s, MH is getting A350s, and will be using them on short haul routes Dec and Jan before commencing KUL-LHR. So selected flights from KUL to BKK, SIN and PEN. And some J bookings will get F seats. Details on Lucky's blog...

From reliable handle EK413 on skyscrapercity: "Sources have indicated QF JFK services will be relocating from Terminal 7 to Terminal 8 towards the end of September. I ain't sure if Terminal 8 is A380 equiped, however certainly makes a lot of sense considering Terminal 8 is owned by American...
