Hotel Indigo Changi Airport to open by 2028
Apr 27, 2024, 11:34 AMAnother IHG hotel isn't really going to add much competition at SIN. The prices charged at the Crowne Plaza are ridiculous. If anything, the Indigo threatens to be even higher.

Qantas launches Qantas Pay card
Apr 16, 2024, 02:49 PMI looked at Qantas Travel Money last year as an option for a family holiday to Europe. Apart from not offering an Apple Wallet option, the exchange rates offered by Qantas were terrible. I went with Revolut instead.

Airfares fall as Australian flights return to pre-pandemic capacity
Apr 15, 2024, 01:09 PMFares to North America have begun to fall dramatically with lots of availability. This is partly driven by the big 3 US airlines introducing extra flights to Australia and NZ using fleet previously directed towards China. If China-US traffic recovers, I suspect many of these new servi...

Preview, photos: Cathay Pacific’s new premium economy seat
Apr 10, 2024, 11:57 AMI do worry about what the situation is when the seat in front of you fully reclines. It looks like you will be stuck just like the situation on QF but at least the extra 2" legroom on CX will make it slightly better. Good to see that there are 2 dedicated toilets for W on CX. Th...

Qantas launches Classic Plus Flight Rewards; bookings now open
Apr 08, 2024, 08:42 AMUnfortunately, Qantas' behaviour in recent years just means this change will be viewed cynically by most. QF claims that the number of Classic reward seats released won't be reduced. This is a fairly meaningless promise given the exact number of FF seats actually made available i...

QF Lounge Upgrades
Apr 09, 2024, 09:38 AMThere appears to be significant works between T1 and T2 at MEL underway which may be the beginning of the new Swing Gates project which will mean 2 domestic gates in Concourse C can convert to International as needed. If this is the case, the plan was for a new International Business Lounge to b...

I am trying to book an itinerary to Europe later this year. The QF website offers options on both QF and EK in both Economy and Business classes but shows no...

Experience on SQ 787
Dec 11, 2023, 01:21 PMThe Y seats SQ have on their 78X and regional A359s are not great. Even though the A359 is wider than the 787, the seats are the same width with the extra fuselage width just going into wider aisles.

Qantas A330-200s to Singapore
Oct 19, 2023, 08:59 AMI have flown on a domestic A332 (VH-EBE which has now been withdrawn for freighter conversion) on SIN-MEL which used iPads in Y instead of seatback IFE. It doesn't happen very often but can occur. You are more likely to get these older (Citylflyer) A332s on international services to Auckland, B...

October 2023 Qantas International
Oct 05, 2023, 11:18 AMQF has a crew base in London with a payscale significantly less than legacy Australian based crew. QF9/10 between PER and LHR and QF1/2 between SIN and LHR will basically always be crewed by this staff. When I flew QF10, I got talking to the flight attendant who had joined QF from a UK charter ...
