Review: Singapore Airlines first class lounge, Sydney
Aug 16, 2019, 04:04 PM@Taylor, It's not that SQ is Sydney-centric. This is a First Class lounge review (not Business Class.) There is also an SQ First Class lounge in Melbourne, because only SYD and MEL have a First Class cabin operation. The fact that SQ (and family) flies from Cairns, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, Me...

SQ to fly non-stop to Seattle
Oct 25, 2018, 12:51 AMVancouver is not sufficient enough of a money maker, even with an A350. The Ultra-Long-Haul 350's need a non-stop service plus high corporate traffic to be profitable. Otherwise it reverts to another aircraft type and a one-stop service, which is less appealing and even less profitable. Vancou...

Virgin overhauls fares, fees, Fly Ahead
Aug 09, 2016, 04:04 PMQantas may be prepared to offer a status challenge, (they dont seem to do outright matches these days) so suggest you give QF FFP a call and discuss! They offered me a challenge recently on BA Gold (equivalent to QF Plat) when I wanted to switch to QF so they're flexible.

Qantas to fly Boeing 787 from Oct 2017

Virgin Atlantic wants to fly London-Perth non-stop
Oct 29, 2018, 03:06 PMOriginally Posted by Stathis Replicating QANTAS's PER-LHR-PER is stupid, the route is monopolized it offers no growth. They will create their own route, where it doesn't currently exist, lowering the air time and increasing the flexibility, don't forget SQ out of BME. It is truely sad that there...

Virgin Atlantic wants to fly London-Perth non-stop
Oct 29, 2018, 02:53 PMAs lovely a place as it is, Broome doesn't make commercial sense as a refueling and distribution destination and here's why: 1. Added cost for crew accommodation in both directions, because they will not have allowable work hours to continue onward on the same flight.2. Added aircraft servicing c...

Virgin Atlantic wants to fly London-Perth non-stop
Oct 27, 2018, 10:21 PMOriginally Posted by Stathis Who said Virgin Australia wouldn't feed Virgin Atlantic? Of cause they would, just as Virgin Australia feed Etihad and SQ, in fact VA used it's metal on Etihad services between Asia and Abu Dhabi, so there is precedent. Of course Virgin AU would feed, I’m not s...

Did I see something about QF and Star Alliance Status matching?
Oct 27, 2018, 02:33 PMVirgin is not in STAR but for STAR Alliance there is an arrangement whereby Singapore Krisflyer Gold get access to Virgin lounges. Best option is to use the Melbourne airport cafe facilities and there are a few decent options around.
