• There's a good million plus people who will live closer to WSI then to SYD, so I think that in itself should provide at least a good amount of passengers. SQ itself has an issue with the Sydney basin as for optimal timing for its dawn arrival into Singapore, ideally there should be a flight ...

  • In fact it's actually worse as they state you get a plus one with any QF, JQ or oneworld flight (ie doesn't have to be same flight) on the same day. This is limited to the same flight.Most of my travels are by myself, with the occasional second person. This change is terrible for people who alrea...

  • They went to cheap not getting IFE screens. It's fine for shorter trips, but for longer ones like this, especially in Business, should have had screens.In regards to the "Business" class, pricing should be closer to 2k return as it's really just premium economy. The 3-4k Business class needs a li...

  • Think the main issue will be the pricing. If say its cheaper than most airlines and still has good meals and service, than that will be ok if it's still a dry airline. Saudia does a lot of this already, offering some excellent value tickets.The issue will be if they want to charge EK, SQ level fa...

  • Being a dry airline is not necessarily an issue, just means they can't command the premium of other airlines. Looking at an example for February,  MEL-LHR in business return, Chinese Airlines start around 6k, Turkish, Finnair is 7k and EK, QR 9k.To be any chance, they needs to be closer to 5...

  • 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.
