https://www.emirates.com/media-centre/open-letter-to-customers-from-sir-tim-clark-president-emirates-airline/ I know many of us saw the floods last week in UAE with DXB and Emirates getting absolutely destroyed operationally, but I was just reading Emirates' CEO Sir Tim Clark's response. I...

Seems Accor has a new(?) product in China. This is only for mainland china, HK and Macau apparently and the benefits don't extend past that. Regular A+ will also have reduced benefits (like no free night availability) and potentially no 50% dining (to be confirmed). Whats interesting is for...

I have an upcoming trip to Taipei and recently took another look on Accor and noticed there's now another property besides the Novotel at TPE. This is located in Taipei City fairly close to TSA (which is pretty much in the city centre anyway). https://all.accor.com/hotel/C2I6/index.en.shtml...

Starship's 3rd test flight launch just happened and it successfully flew into space and is now the largest object ever inserted into space (by a large margin). Clean launch, clean hotstage separation, booster did a clean burnback for re-entry and maneuvered in the atmosphere. It did fail to...

Cathay just posted this onto their YouTube channel. Looks like a reasonable refresh.

It seems SYD has decided they will increase movement cap from 80 - 85 per hour following a major weather event.

Can I have my baggage checked from HND - SIN without it connected to SYD and recheck it myself? Also can I leave my luggage out in the carousel for potentially 1.5hours? Basically i have a slight dilemma. I want to buy some duty free alcohol at HND airside, but I also want to go out at SIN...

I know this is a thing on JL's own flights where they have a small baby indicator for where the infants are. I just never realised they showed this for their partner flights on the same itinerary. I'm not sure if I can get just a pure QF booking to show up in JL MMB, but I had a JL leg in this...

It appears that to go with the launch of JL's new a350-1000 HND -JFK they have a new dedicated check in for first class passengers. They have stated that status won't grant access to this check in area. https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/inter/service/lounge/hnd/first/#ANC05 May be of use for anyone...

Friends were discussing potentially buying OWE with AT (Royal Air Moroc) through their 3x Status Booster. I believe this is a subscription where you will earn 3x Status Miles for a cost (198 EUR/90days) https://boost.loyaltystatus.com/ram/ For AT Plat (OWE) I believe you need 75k miles with...

Seems like this year's predictions are out for those travelling to Japan around late March.

Major earthquake just happened an hour ago, sizeable aftershocks continuing. Hope everyone travelling in the region is safe. Tsunami evacuation issued already for certain areas. Warning for the whole coast on the sea of Japan side...

I've been shopping around for some new belts (regular use) and had a thought, there surely are airport security ok belts that we don't have to take off. Just wondering if anyone has any brands or designs that they use for travel.

I was looking at changing one of my QF bookings and noticed that JAL has changed to the b773 from b789 starting April 1. I'm not sure if this is seasonal or long term change. But this does mean that F is now back for SYD <> HND. Edit: seems I can only see it for April.

Old news but I don't think it's posted here. ALL is going to be operating and taking over a bunch of Daiwa hotels all over Japan. Most will be rebranded and renovated as Mercure or Grand Mercure. There's also a bunch of new hotels being added to ALL so Japan's offering will increase by a...

I was just looking around on JQ in the other thread for CNS - KIX to see if they would swap it to a 321 and noticed they will have BNE - KIX direct. A bit of searching for dates and notice this will be schedueld to start in February next year with 4 flights a week on the 788. JQ 23 BNE - KIX...

Going through MEL T1 this morning and more than half the automated bag drop kiosks were down. Luckily lines weren't too bad compared with security. I normally HLO domestically so I don't notice but is this a common occurrence?

Just came across articles that stated MH will offer free wifi to all passengers starting Nov 1 on their a350 and a330s.
