    Bonza Airline Discussion

    I just had a quick scan of Facebook and there is a group focused on Bonza called Scum of the air quickly filling with endless complaints of not being able to get a refund and cancellations. 200 new members this week suggests whatever positive sentiment there is for Bonza is quickly evaporating.

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    Interesting account of a trip doing the rounds on reddit tonight. Bonza passengers flying out of OOL to MKY being offered either to catch a Bonza supplied coach up to Sunshine Coast for an alternative MKY flight or Bonza credit. https://www.reddit.com/r/GoldCoast/s/bWyAZoSJvM I would have...

    Two-nderful

    Does not entice me as a business traveler - only makes them another Jetstar/leisure airline in my mind.

    VA lounge in Cairns

    For that $48 dollars, you'll get lounge (tiered or club member), a meal on board, and in the near future free wifi enabled for international flights. On the flip side: $69 dollars for the Marhaba lounge if you must have a lounge, lets call it $20 dollars for a snack and drink off the...

    Qantas Club renewal wrong expiry

    Yes I’ve had the renewal email wrong last two times - it usually takes a few days and then your QC expiry will accurately reflect in the app.

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    Flair hasn’t been able to take bookings over the weekend. Never a good sign. Wonder how long bonza has if flair collapses.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure Fleet - Spend $110M

    I was on VUG this morning in row 4 and the seat bases were already coming apart. Not a great look for a new refurb. Agree with others that the new seats are less comfortable.

    Qantas NAB credit card points

    Points from NAB (for me at least) land when the statement is issued. So you have until your next statement issue date to spend and that is what will influence what points land in your account. Payment of the statement has no influence whatsoever on the points received.

    Qantas NAB credit card points

    Your points are always linked to your statement period. It’s not linked to if you have paid the balance or not and paying in advance will not influence it. Always consider it as whatever you spent during that statement = the points you earn - any refunded transactions.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    It may just be me, but I feel we are entering the part of the VA menu cycle where the meals are starting to get very repetitive. The pasta with chorizo has been around a few months now and getting very stale.

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    They have only really slashed J pricing well in advance and on routes with a decent amount of competition. Anything in the next month they are still charging you through the nose. At least VA or even Rex there is some reasonable fares in J in within 30 days of departure. Heck on Rex some of...

    AA to fly BNE to DFW [confirmed]

    Booked on the inaugural flight into Brisbane due to being in Texas that week. Wonder if AA will do what Qantas does for inaugurals or if it will be a non-event.

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Anytime a QF J fare is within in $100 dollars of the VA J fare - I am going Qantas. I suspect I would not be the only one tempted by that. VA-J is slowly getting worse - use to be a hit 9 times out of 10, but more like 6 times out of ten now days. At the same time my perception of QF J is is...
