• I'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...

  • I 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...

  • This 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...

  • I 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...

  • The Malaysia Airlines lounge is long gone and the only lounges down there are Qantas business, Singapore Airlines, Amex and Plaza premium which took up the old Malaysia Airlines spot. Up until recently there was a small Cathay Pacific lounge  next to the Qantas lounge which is now closed and...

  • Part 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...

  • As 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 PM

    Yeah 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 ...

  • I'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...

  • That's good. Example of the change is discount economy goes from 1,875 FF / 20 SC to 4,500 FF / 45 SC (Australian East Coast to US West Coast, one way ). Most status credits are now doubled, with business from 90 to 180 and First going from 135 to 270.
