I think MEL got the inaugural A220 flight as well from memory. I guess the plane is named after Victoria too.

Would hard blocked show as a block on EF or occupied out of interest? Looking at my first flight, looks like all F seats are ‘occupied’ sadly…. Won’t bother going to airport T-3 hours if they’ve already been allocated to diamonds…..

Have they announced the inaugural first flight route?

Hopefully they are similar to the new QF A220 fleet which I find really comfortable (for Y). The new VA737 seats I find very very hard and on a slightly odd angle for me. I haven’t flown NZ Y for a very long time so couldn’t compare!

Thank you, looks like I’ll be heading to support to be there right on T-3 hours (MEL)…!

For benefit of anyone trying, I tried to call up - no dice. Interestingly told that F is reserved for those travelling with infants 😂 Will try at OLCI.

Don’t suppose you’ve ever tried calling ahead of OLCI to beg? :) I try to minimise time at airports… but might have to break that rule if can’t use OLCI!

Hi there Flying shortly on some CX 777 flights in paid J as a OWE (QF WP). F seating is on the flights but not selling F, so they are blocked off for now for J seating later. I saw on some blogs that you can request these seats as a OWE at physical Cathay check in at airport? Does anybody...

Disappointing but not surprising.

You will get them in business on that flight :)

That will fall for sure…. Checking if my corporate rates have loaded…

Had first QFLink group boarding out of LST the other day. Great to see it in action outside the main ports!

Also in the camp of avoid Air NZ. Only exception is when I fly them (domestically) on a QF code which has actually been a fantastic arrangement long may it last!

Personally I won’t be changing any of my business trips to the US. Don’t go there by choice for leisure anyway, so no change to that plan. Clearly though there is a significant reduction in travel/planned travel into the US though, the UK and Canadian numbers are quite astonishing.

Well we can only hope the hot dogs aren’t thawing out somewhere in hiding ready to make a reappearance….

I completely agree with you it varies wildly for all the brands both within IHG and Accor. I always look deeply into the individual hotel, can’t trust the brands alone. For example the Mercure Doncaster (MEL) is fantastic, new modern property > Voco Brisbane which is just a lipstick cosmetic...

Finally…. But it will be a faux IC for a while, as I echo what everyone else has been saying - this property is incredibly tired. Any insight as to when we can book?

We moved flights once and took the bassinet seats from someone (had Bubs with us). We subsequently then didn’t make the connection…! So those people bumped out would also have seen non baby carrying folk in their seats… This was a while ago so not guilty for your flights :)

Don’t suppose anyone has test driven a Polestar 4 yet?

Not to mention you can get better interest rates than ING too!
