    A Complete, Updated List of Fifth-Freedom Routes

    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.

    Article: 6 Things Stopping Me Flying Air New Zealand More

    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...

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    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...

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    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?

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    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

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Prior to covid you could in J order anything off the Y menu for free. Now they have a different drinks selection for J (which is ironically a step down from the paid options in Y) and then a "pantry" selection of snacks.

    Accor ALL Signature Discussion

    Assuming you're a returning subscriber it's a slightly worse deal per point but I guess if you've got a lot of Accor stay coming up over the next 4 months then could be worthwhile. 1 month at ~AU$130 = 5000 points or 0.026c per point. 4 months (first at ~$130 then $186 x3 so $688 total) =...

    Velocity domestic routing for connecting flights

    Force recollection as VAs policy is not to through check luggage. Have you tried calling and explaining what you are after?

    Accor ALL Signature Discussion

    Yes. This has been the case the last few cycles where a different slightly worse deal for former subscribers. Nope, sale runs through to 3 December so no rush I guess.

    Honestly what is the point of QFF now

    Your travel date is still during school holidays and in the middle of a small tennis event. Just because it's two months away doesn't mean anything and in fact if you look at closer dates you'll find more seats as it's not impacted by either of the above.

    Club Jetstar Extras announced: Qantas Frequent Flyer Extra

    I've seen some reports that QF Gold/Plat get access to the ICN oneworld lounge when on JQ in a similar setup to CHC/ZQN partner lounges.

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    I've had some, at first I thought overly sweet but in reality it's quite dry.

    Accor ALL Signature Discussion

    They are all over the place with the promos. LoyaltyLobby got hold of some T&Cs that had 40/35/30% off which weren't updated so indicated 1 November to 22 November. That was quickly removed and replaced by a Pre black Friday sale ranging from 30-15% off having dates 10-12 November (brazil...

    Qantas Abandons Haneda Slots - Unused

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Didn’t end up going to breakfast so no idea. Got a coffee and donut on the way to the office at daily bread.

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    As a WP I’m impressed and like the idea. I’ve got WP with both VA and QF so this makes VA a even less attractive given Economy X was a major benefit of VA.

    VA wifi trial Nov 2025 - free messaging

    Disagree on that one, speeds/ping is so much better than Qantas and because most people don't pay I usually get speeds of 40-50mbps sometimes higher.
