China plans take-over of HNA, sell-off of airline assets
Feb 20, 2020, 01:25 PMIt's logical that China would like to have a share of an Aussie airline though. They own so many other assets in Oz already. Would be nice if ANA bought the share now. They have some good links around Asia that would be good to use as a connection hub to replace hk.

China plans take-over of HNA, sell-off of airline assets
Feb 20, 2020, 01:20 PMI really don't get why China doesn't merge all the airlines into one. Would be so much easier. 3 big ones compete with each other but owned by the government. Just the usual chaos that defines China though.

Feb 06, 2020, 12:14 PMA great shame. This was so much better than Qantas. Makes the recent Virgin Atlantic code-share link a somewhat waste of effort too.Yes, we can go via LAX, but not a preferred choice.

Jan 05, 2020, 12:22 AMVA are generally substantially cheaper and better for biz class flights domestically than Qantas. Overall Virgin has a much better value for money service than qf I find.

Qantas flights to Vancouver after Boeing 747 are retired
Dec 16, 2019, 11:59 PMOriginally Posted by jason.ng174 Surely they could rotate some 787s out of Asian routes and replace them with A330s? I guess it depends on whether they actually need all the A330s on the domestic / Syd - Auckland runs A330 doesn't have the range to do SYD - YVR. 787 is probably the only option at...

Return to FIFO, booking + status run ideas?
Nov 29, 2019, 09:48 PMIf you have a usable amount of points with SQ, it would be crazy to lose them if they expire. So use SQ in your case. Or better yet, considering your trips to NYC, build your status with VA and transfer your SQ points to VA. Note that you do lose some points in the transfer exchange rate though. ...

VA23 - MEL to LAX cancellations
Sep 13, 2019, 11:41 PMVH-VPF is on the way back from Singapore now. It's been there since 3rd September. Probably just some required heavy maintenance at VA's part owner SIA facilities. Good to get it done before peak season hits.
