Air New Zealand brings back Wamos Air on Auckland-Perth
Dec 13, 2023, 04:04 PMIt's a bit rich that PE will be "reaccommodated" into Y, even with a fare adjustment. Some people don't want Y, which is how come they book PE. Money back if requested is the only fair process. Not a credit, money back.

Four of the world’s best daytime scenic luxury train trips
Nov 06, 2023, 10:22 AMA word of advice about the TranzAlpine train. There is no prior seat selection, even in the higher grade Scenic Plus class (which by no means is anything like First on say the Glacier Express). Allocation is on the day.

What makes a great hotel room for business travellers?
Nov 02, 2023, 09:35 AMThe caveat about Chromecast etc is of course the wi-fi. No-one wants constant buffering interrupting their entetainment but that will always happen on poor hotel wi-fi.

Project Sunrise "manufacturing" delay
Feb 23, 2024, 08:55 AMI understand the "manufacturing" delay on the QF a350-1000 relates to the centre fuel tank. I believe EASA has required this be redesigned and reinforced.

QF15/16 cancellation
Feb 13, 2024, 12:29 PMYou definitely should contact Qantas asap to see what is happening. Do you have status? The more of that you have the more your negotiating power.
