Rex delays launch of frequent flyer status perks
Oct 03, 2023, 10:52 AMI'd imagine a big reason why they only added lounge access on their top tier was the current lounges they have are more or less built for the existing regional traffic they have and probably can't cope with the probable increase in 737s and the expanded passenger base it brings. Its at least...

What’s next for Qantas in the post-Alan Joyce era?
Sep 05, 2023, 04:59 PMI think the art of surprise is a good thing. You hear all these stories from overseas articles about free upgrades and I think the Australian public get a bit annoyed that it never happens here. Its a very simple thing She could do probably straight away and you don't even need to publi...

What’s next for Qantas in the post-Alan Joyce era?
Sep 05, 2023, 11:43 AMThis is why I like the Cathay lounges at HKG, they have a huge list of what drinks they do. It's annoying that QF don't do something similar, as I don't understand why this has to be a mystery and then when you ask, you get the, we don't do that.F&B beverages need to be improved in most cabin...

Qantas boosts Tokyo flights from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane
May 19, 2023, 03:04 PMI didn't think the whole split with Melbourne and Brisbane sharing the Haneda Slot was a good idea and they should have just tried one port for the second slot. Haneda is a bit overrated as it is the Domestic connections where it really excels but most people are just heading to Tokyo anyway...

Qantas A220 - seatback IFE screens or not?
Jan 05, 2024, 08:36 PMPart of the reason why we haven't seen the Qantas A220 interior is that the economy seats apparently don't have their padding installed due to a certification issue. In regards to the IFE, I think they should have it installed as they market themselves as a premium airline, and since the A220s wi...

International to Domestic Connection Time at Narita
Oct 20, 2022, 05:20 PMAs long as your flight is on time, you should easily be able to catch the ANA flight. JL uses terminal T2, whereas NH uses T1, you can connect via the shuttle bus. Just remember domestic departures desk at T1 is at a separate part of the airport to all the other check-in areas. I've usually found...

Rex Syd-Mel very low pax loads
Mar 30, 2021, 02:41 PMYeah some of those numbers are very low and not sustainable in the long term, but it's still very much early days so hopefully they have factored in low numbers for the first couple of months and an eventual pick up starting around Easter. With all the lockdowns and other restrictions, you'd be ...

London and Hong Kong lounges closing permanently?
Nov 06, 2020, 03:04 PMI'd imagine the issue with the lounges is that they will probably be closed for another 12 months, so that's why unfortunately the staff have been let go. I could imagine the HK lounge closing due to the better relationship with CX, but with the London one, I think this is more to do with the lik...
