Jayden Wong’s TR’s are refreshing to watch compared to others who use clickbait headings, to grab views….i.e. Noel Phillips. Unlike others he also funds all of his own travel, so you get an honest perspective, I really enjoyed watching his VA77 vlog. To offset the production delays, I wonder...

Smart money would be on following in QF/NWK’s footsteps and acquiring some midlife A319’s and working with the mining companies to have their strips upgraded for the ones that are currently only suited for F100’s. When I say midlife, I don’t mean end of life scrappers like QF/NWK has invested in.

Just had a msg from a ZL contact you’re both correct it does indeed feature a BSI interior. I’m still hearing the next 2 incoming aircraft are being sourced from SQ.

Does -8ZL feature a Boeing sky interior (BSI) or the older dated style?

PER-DPS flights are also upgraded to A321NEO’s from what I can see it’s all daily services. Next 3K needs to rebuild their hub out of Singapore to support these new routes and enable daily connections to places like Penang. They‘ve only got something like 10 A320’s left, although they are in...

I can appreciate, I’m one of thousands affected but here’s my story. Please bare in-mind I’m just an ordinary 40 something traveller who funds his own overseas travel and I make around 3-4 trips per year to SE Asia and the occasional long haul flight to the UK and USA. Prior to Covid, I’d worked...

Looks like -8IA went up to HND yesterday and didn’t return on VA78, guessing the return flight was cancelled as she’s gone tech. FR24 has -VBZ operating today’s outbound VA77, but it’s looks to of been not departed and been CXLD.

Struth! At those figures maybe VA should just cap the flights and use -VBY/Z and as already suggested use the MAX on something more profitable. At least these 2 73G’s are owned by VA, so you’re not paying huge leasing costs. Can scimitar fitted -800’s do DPS with a full load year round or do...

MAX8 -8IA has been operating on the HND route seemingly flawlessly for a week now, any insight or data on recent load factors and overall performance compared to the 73G’s?

Instead of AKL could QF3/4 of operated via HNL instead of AKL? This flight could’ve replaced the current A333 operated on QF103/104 for redeployment back into the network. Outbound pax could clear immigration in HNL, like they used to in LAX when transiting onto QF15/16 to JFK, effectively...

Yep 100% an amenity kit and a mattress topper was left for me at my seat when I boarded QF71 last month.

For those that may have missed it, REX have picked up 2 x former SQ/Silkair 738W’s 9V-MGA and MGB, due for delivery in June and July 2023. An brilliant opportunistic acquisition of high spec aircraft which currently feature a C12Y150 cabin, for fleet commonality I’m surprised VA didn’t grab...

Possibly coming across to cover for 73G NHW which suffered an engine failure yesterday evening whilst operating VA471 to BNE, aircraft is expected to be out of action for sometime whilst a replacement engine is source and transported across to WA.

When one of the domestic product A332’s EBA, EBC, EBE, EBG, EBJ, EBK or EBL operates a regional International flight to say SIN, CGK or DPS does the wifi work offshore? I’m aware that the iPad streaming IFE still works but curious to know if you can access your socials and play YouTube videos...

It's also the bigger picture that needs to be taken into consideration such as the days worth of network delays and passenger inconvenience, today's QF9 MEL-PER is already being operated by a A332 which means they can't turn around the incoming QF10 -ZNF to operate last nights delayed QF9 and...

Ok it appears you’re using flight tracking software moa999. Any idea what configuration QF71/72 is going to use? I’m guessing without asking or checking it’s primaile going to be domestic A332’s.

I believe -EBO will become the 2nd A332L.

EBG and L do occasionally appear in Perth, appears to happen when QF107/108 is upgraded to a A333. -EBS is back in-service operating QF61 to NRT.

EBG and L still show up on transcontinentals from time to time with the Skybeds. I think if anything these flights will be popular with young and old alike, just like people opting to fly the EK A380's in/out of PER over their 777's. It's actually really smart strategic planning by QF and...

I'm 6'1 and fairly solid, I'm also a hardworking regular Australian who doesn't have 100,000's points to upgrade to W or J class.Seat measurements don't mean anything to me either, it's all about real world comfort and ergonomics. The Y seat in the QF Dreamliner is an exceptional. I flew QF9...
