Date: June 2021 Hotel: Hilton Adelaide Booked: King Hilton Deluxe Received: King Hilton Executive Status: Diamond An okay rather than great stay. The hotel was busy, the check-in said local vouchers were doing wonders for business. Upgraded two room categories. Lounge not open, vouchers were...

The damaged plane in Darwin today was QF851 to Perth. Flight was cancelled

I'm in VA J tomorrow twice. VA online check-in tells me lounge access is available, yet it's not!

With the VIC/NSW border open and flights resuming, MEL and SYD lounges should already be open

Perhaps if AJ had threatened to cancel Anastacia's CL the QLD borders would not have taken so long to open up?????

I'm going to call this. I reckon this decision will get reversed

Don't worry @pchammond. I don't think this cat got upgraded either the other night :)

After an extended closure, the Adelaide Hilton re-opened last week. I checked in over the weekend. It's quiet but not deserted. However, it's worth noting a few points: (i) the Executive Lounge is closed; (ii) the f&b offering is pared back, the lobby restaurant is closed most days. The lobby...

I believe AA is making a significant announcement Wednesday (US time) regarding changes to earning/retaining AA elite status

To access the lounge, you need to go to the lobby and find the standalone lift (up the bar end of the lobby), that will take you to the mezzanine level. The lounge is nothing special but it's quiet and a good place to work. You can't see it in the photos but there are a couple of good-sized...

Alan Joyce was just interviewed on RN. Fran Kelly mentioned in the intro a seven-hour scenic flight around Australia taking in rock, reef, bridge etc. Didn't get picked up in the interview and nothing running in media yet. Does anyone know anything about this?

The absence of ATRs from the fleet raises questions about the future of routes suited to ATR sized aircraft - Albury, Port Macquarie, Tamworth etc. Will they be handed over to Alliance or dropped? Also, what will happen to Canberra? Does VA intend maintaining a similar frequency on SYD/CBR run...

Robyn Ironside has a fresh story on the Oz website saying Virgin will make an announcement to the market/media tomorrow (Wed) about what they plan to do with the airline...

Bridget Carter in The Oz had this story on 30.07 so maybe hear something early this week. Fears mount before Bain updates business plan for Virgin Australia "Virgin Australia employees and the Queensland state government face an anxious wait in the coming days to learn more details about Bain...

I like to think it's Clive P. Just the sort of half assed thing he would cook up. Or try too

This just landed in my inbox Wonder who is behind it? Any ideas anyone? https://www.travelweekly.com.au/article/mysterious-new-aussie-start-up-airline-set-to-launch-in-2021/

I'm a fan of the Afterpay product. I think it offers a great alternative to established credit providers. I think a lot of the pushback against the product comes from established credit providers, but nothing stands still in life. Sure you can abuse Afterpay, but you can abuse Visa and Amex and...
