At Bali airport this afternoon awaiting my flight to KL and witnessed the Jetstar DPS-SIN flight follows the same Australian rules doing gate screening for liquids.

Cheers we’re off an hour late on 8II mainly due to the remote stand tow. Unrelated note internet is not working.

Well it looks like 143 is cancelled and so is the return 146. Flightradar24 has 8II removed from VA95 but VAs own flight status system still shows it for now.

Excellent… I’m on VA95 this afternoon and the same aircraft VH-8II was scheduled for that flight.

I just passed through the domestic terminal and the new central screening is now open in a soft launch with two lanes operational. The door from the carpark/train bridge is also now open. Offical opening is end of next week at which point the ribbon cutting can occur and the VA security...

Melbourne doesn’t hold bags overnight so you’ll need to pick them up.

Interestingly mentioned by Ben but I can't find it elsewhere that the dining area is for oneworld Emeralds. The only QF press releases I've seen by QF refer to it being for P1 and WP but no specific OWE mention? Will be interesting once it opens as CX has just done something recently in HKG...

I'm surprised no photos online yet. A colleagues parents did fly out today and had sent them a text saying they are in a nice new lounge at Sydney international 🤣 they hadn't been to the old SYD one so hard for them to compare.

Is the route new if it’s been operated before? They flew OOL-AKL during Covid so it’s more resuming.

I think the same flight tried again a bit later.

Or released around same time as negative press layoffss before Christmas to try to counter? Very unlikely, pre Covid VA had a lot of cash stuck in the country. They had to sell tickets in local currency but couldn’t pull that cash back to Australia.

So many things to unpack from this press release but just a couple: 1. The first paragraph makes mention of the NRL launch, such thing isn't expected until 2028 so launching a route in 2026 is "ambitious" to say the least, will it run for 2 years in preparation of the NRL? 2. Announced at a...

This has not new and has been the case for 10+ years.

Whilst unique it’s not really 5th freedom. European airlines can fly any Euro routes under an open skies agreement. Very similar to how the AU/NZ agreement allows JQ to operate NZ domestic flights.

I’d be pushing for a refund and booking elsewhere if the price difference isn’t crazy. On one hand Air NZ continues to stuff people around (I’ve had multiple flights this year changed but I’m really flexible so will often ask for a route via a different city with 24 hour stop) but on the other...

Ever stayed at Raffles, if so how does it compare?

No clue how long but I suspect a while especially after all the recent press plus extra moving parts we don't use. I think what a lot of people are missing is that yes part of the upgrade was a new look website/app but also the servers which until recently had no security certificates...

VA website does suggest weather. It's not a generic BNE port message as other flights show other info making me wonder if the aircraft was damaged during this afternoons storm?

Been a known thing that throwing in reg (standing for registered) takes you back to the old site Australia's official weather forecasts & weather radar - Bureau of Meteorology
