Rex Airlines lounge access guide, fleet, frequent flyer status [2024]
May 01, 2024, 10:04 AMI have flown REX on 2 return trips between Hobart and Melbourne this year, all in business class, with a 3rd return trip coming up in a few weeks time. I found them to be a quality airline, but there is some room for improvement.Firstly, I find the website to be a bit cumbersome. Upcoming flights...

Singapore Airlines switches Cairns to an Airbus A350
Mar 28, 2024, 12:42 PMWith 128 flights a week from Singapore to 7 Australian cities, combined with Air New Zealand's flights between New Zealand and Australia, a sound financial argument could almost be made for Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines to start a 50/50 joint venture domestic airline within Australia. An...

Review: Qantas Sydney-Auckland-New York QF3 business class
Jun 15, 2023, 03:33 PMI noticed yesterday that QF151 (MEL-AKL) departed an hour and 45 minutes late, and landed in Auckland about 20 minutes before the scheduled departure of QF3. QF3 pushed back on time, so obviously no time to be able to make the connection. I would have thought that QF3 would have waited. Qan...

23-hour marathon: Qantas restarts New York flights
Jun 14, 2023, 03:14 PMI have been following QF3 and QF151 (MEL-AKL) today on Flightradar24. I noticed QF151 departure was delayed aprox 1 hour and 45 min, and touched down in AKL about 20 minutes before QF3 pushed back. My educated guess is that any passenger on QF151 connecting onto QF3 would not have had time to do ...

BONZA gone belly up - Opportunity for REX
Apr 30, 2024, 10:23 AMAccording to the ABC website, BONZA appears to have gone belly up. If true, this could present an opportunity for REX to recruit some more pilots, cabin crew, and maintenance staff. Maybe take over some of the leases for the Max 8 aircraft as well as take off and landing slots at Melbourne airpor...

Qantas A220 - seatback IFE screens or not?
Dec 19, 2023, 03:53 PMI prefer airlines provide fast reliable WiFi so I can bring my own IFE device. I'd be amazed if anybody on an airplane did not have a iPhone, iPad, laptop, or some other electronic device. The weight saving by not having an airline provided IFE system can lead to a lower fuel bill, which can lead...

Qantas Frequent Flyer Trap
Nov 04, 2023, 09:14 AMI rarely use BP, and when I do, it's only because they've made it worth my while (ie offered bonus FF points). Anyway, on the half dozen or so times i've used BP, on one occasion the points hit my Qantas FF account within 4 days, every other time it has been the next day. And a golden rule of mi...
