• I take CX in PE between Australia and Asia roughly every 2-3 weeks. Loads are generally very strong. IMO if the product is good then it is worth paying for on a 7-9 hour sector..

  • This is fantastic news!!! Have been struggling to get seats on the 330 service regularly given the heavy loads....

  • I think both PAL and QF have struggled to make BNE-MNL work with any decent frequency, at least with a widebody. PAL is likely to move to BNE-MNL direct (and possibly increase MEL-MNL frequencies) once it takes delivery of its first A321neos next year.  The question for QF is whether it is g...

The remaining 300s range in age from around ~9-14 years (again not ancie...
