Apr 16, 2024, 03:05 PMCapacity up maybe but we are absolutely being taken for a ride with airfare costs out of Australia across all classes. What happened with the airline inquiry? Not much, well maybe all fixed with a few extra Chairmans Lounge memberships.

Apr 10, 2024, 10:50 AMI agree with most of the previous commentary. Great in the air, not so great on the ground except for the lounge at Heathrow which in my opinion is pretty special.
