Jun 12, 2019, 06:12 PMI 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...

Will Seoul see the first Oneworld-branded lounge?
Feb 13, 2019, 05:19 PMYes, 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 PMGood 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 ...

Jetstar to start direct flights between the Gold Coast and Seoul
May 03, 2019, 04:22 PMI’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 PMVery interesting. I was at a meeting this week about flights from Melbourne to Seoul.
