  • US Global Entry trial for Australian citizens

    Jun 12, 2019, 06:12 PM

    I agree this would be nice but flying into LAX on QF93 last week (in economy) I was through immigration and at the baggage carousel before people in the global entry line were. I totally accept there are still the 2 hour stories described above, but, in my experience, US immigration processing is...

  • Oneworld to open its own airport lounges

    Feb 13, 2019, 05:22 PM

    As detailed in another article on this site, Seoul Incheon is the obvious first candidate.

  • Will Seoul see the first Oneworld-branded lounge?

    Feb 13, 2019, 05:19 PM

    Yes, all the OneWorld airlines depart from T1. This is an great idea. Qantas also have a daily code-share flight with Asiana so it's actually 9 airlines. I travel to Seoul every month from Melbourne and use either the Qantas/Asiana codeshare or Cathay Pacific. At the moment Asiana (very kindly) l...

  • Review: Qantas domestic business class lounge, Melbourne

    Nov 02, 2018, 06:19 PM

    Good news that they've moved the powerpoints up. I was in the Business lounge just after it opened and couldn't plug my MacBook charger in. I told the staff and they apparently hadn't been notified at that time, they used my charger for some photos. It still surprises me that architects overlook ...

  • Qantas to charge for 'extra legroom' seats

    Jul 28, 2017, 04:26 PM

    I also spoke to numerous Qantas staff and wrote to Qantas about this retrospective change. I'm a Platinum FF and I just went through all my future bookings and I can now select exit row seats for free not just on domestic flights but international as well. DBX-SYD and MEL-LAX exit row seats in ec...

  • Asiana Melbourne - Seoul Flights

    Aug 29, 2019, 03:21 PM

    Asiana plans to operate a number of charter flights between Melbourne and Seoul over the Australian summer, with one return flight per week between Boxing Day and February 21 2020, operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. Reservations have not yet opened.

  • Jetstar to start direct flights between the Gold Coast and Seoul

    May 03, 2019, 04:22 PM

    I’ve no doubt a focus on the ICN->OOL travel market makes sense. However, the case for reestablishing a ICN-MEL direct flight is compelling. There’s a view that building the case for it should be like the lobbying that went on to get JAL to fly to MEL. As soon as JAL decided to ent...

  • Jetstar to start direct flights between the Gold Coast and Seoul

    May 03, 2019, 01:50 PM

    Very interesting. I was at a meeting this week about flights from Melbourne to Seoul. Out of Seoul, Melbourne is the number 1 destination not served by a direct flight and out of Melbourne, Seoul is the number 1 destination not served by a direct flight. Re-establishing MEL-ICN is Melbourne Airpo...
