    JQ launches AVV - BNE

    The starter plus or flex bundles made the total fare $90 meaning an extra $41 spend. Given I was only paying $29 (with the voucher) I couldn't really justify the extra spend plus I don't get the satisfaction of having spent just $29 to get from Brisbane to Avalon. Sadly the return flight the...

    JQ launches AVV - BNE

    I was able to snag a BNE-AVV for $29, actual fare was $49 but only paid $29 thanks to the $20 voucher from the catch the stars promotion that was run. $29 for Brisbane to Melbourne is not bad and the best part is it'll probably cost more to get to/from the airport.

    Star Alliance Gold but status to Velocity

    Air Canada is a bit stubborn like Air NZ, they may insist that the airline you get the points with is also the one the benefits come from. Regardless the best approach is to make sure the Velocity number is on the booking (as this is where you want to earn the miles), then approach the *G check...

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    Oh wow this is some rookie coding: https://www.flybonza.com/controllers/bookingProcess/searchCalendar.php?type=OW&adults=1&children=0&infants=0&fromDst=MCY&toDst=MEL You can change destination/origin to get the raw result of prices. Additionally the whole site is delivered in a weird way...

    Changes to check-in times coming?

    Wouldn't surprise me if they change to 40 mins, Bonza do it and VA is just another LCC with a handful of lounges right ;) . Personally I think they should make it more time... Controversial but often those travelling with luggage domestically are those who travel less frequently so saying it...

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    Bit off topic but there should be 2x BA 777s in Sydney right now. Yesterday's BA16 never left so G-STBM has been sitting on the round since 6am yesterday, G-STBN has been on the ground since 6am this morning. I guess lots of BA pax around Sydney today?

    Current F Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Likely by design, NSW school holidays start on 15 April and it's likely to be very busy on that weekend as a result they're probably limiting the number of passes that can be used in the F lounge (which is why you're not seeing it) but the cap for the business lounge hasn't been reached yet.

    Jakarta Visa on Arrival, is it easy?

    I'm close to pulling my hair out on this one. I've tried multiple computers (Mac/Windows), multiple browsers (chrome, edge, safari), multiple internet connection and different sized photos (some png, some jpg but all under 2mb) with nothing working. It uploads both the passport page and photo...

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    Measured on my Apple Watch the 737 is quieter, so sure it’s better then a 717 but when the A220 is being run on routes like BNE-MEL I’d suggest the 737.

    Lounge access for Silver/all on CX178?

    Everyone eligible for lounge access on CX178 gets access to the house because the Qantas lounges are closed at that time (shut around 11pm).

    Jakarta Visa on Arrival, is it easy?

    Last year I did it in Bali you walked past an extra counter, taped your card for ~$50 and they stuck the visa in the passport, the whole process took 30 seconds with no hassle of having to upload via a website however if the egates for Australian's visiting Indonesia are now a thing then I'll...

    Air Vanuatu

    I'm a bit confused, apparently it's going through a C check in Melbourne according to the Vanuatu Minister of Finance. Apparently the CEO has been acting in that position for over a year and the gov is having to pump a fair amount of $$ in. A different article reports about $10m but I'm not...

    Jakarta Visa on Arrival, is it easy?

    Has anyone been through Jakarta recently and done the visa on arrival? I've done it in Bali before and was able to pay card which was very easy however smart traveller is say the following thing about Jakarta that they only accept cash: "For the VOA, some airports, including Jakarta's...

    SYD Named 5th Most Luxurious Airport in the world

    The Skyteam lounge is just an extension of the Plaza Premium lounge upstairs but branded as Skyteam with a tiny bit more food. If I had to rate the lounges at Sydney T1 (noting the only one I haven't been to is SQ F). Curious to hear if others agree. 1. Qantas First Lounges (spa, great table...

    Lounge access for Silver/all on CX178?

    CX providing their own Silvers lounge access has been around for a long time. CX Silver status only gives lounge access to that card holder (no guests) and only when flying CX (plus a handful of exceptions for codeshare partners).

    Emirates reward flight booked through Qantas and Aeroplan 50k status

    Yes you can as Qantas reward flights book onto the EK flight number. It’s worth nothing that the Aeroplan benefits on Emirates are very very limited. If departing from Montreal or Toronto you get Air Canada lounge access prior to an Emirates flight (plus 1 guest). If departing from Dubai you...
