Review: Aerotel London Heathrow hotel (Terminal 3)

Dec 17, 2019, 07:10 PM

Those looking for a proper AC outlet for more power-hungry devices like straighteners though will instead need to plug-in in the room proper, as there isn't an outlet in the bathroom.Or in any bathroom in the UK, as it is not permitted under their building codes.
Qantas resumes lounge pass access at London

Jul 17, 2019, 11:01 AM

I think there are two important factors to consider.1. The available space in LHR T3 for a mega lounge complex simply doesn't exist. It would be difficult for QF to source a larger continuous facility. Even if they could, the rent would be astronomical and would not pass any reasonable business c...
How important is priority boarding?

Jun 28, 2019, 09:48 AM

For me, it's more about the location (and aircraft type). If I am in Japan for example, I will board last. I know there will be plenty of locker space, and I don't have to spend longer onboard to ensure my bag has space.In the USA, I am ready at the gate and boarding as early as possible!
Qantas launches Brisbane-San Francisco flights

Jun 17, 2019, 03:07 PM

The Brisbane Airport masterplan includes a monorail to be built between Intl and Dom terminals, and a long term carpark. This could be delivered as early as 2022.I wouldn't be surprised if this was the next major project after the new runway is delivered.
Airbus sees high interest in sleeping bunks

Both Qatar and Emirates already fly to Auckland, Cape Town and Sao Paulo and Los Angeles non stop. That leaves Buenos Aires and Santiago as the only commercially viable routes out of range. But the longer range A350-900 purchased by SQ could do that distance with full payload.

Airline profitability

Aug 20, 2020, 04:27 PM

Many airlines have used aircraft cabins to increase freight capacity. This works well for airlines with a home market of South Korea, which is a huge exporter of small consumer electronics and other manufactured goods suitable for passenger planes.A large percentage of Australian air freight expo...
Would you drink aircraft tank water?

Oct 28, 2019, 09:21 AM

The tank water is generally safe to drink. Airlines conduct regular checks of the water filling stations, and equipment used to service aircraft to avoid bacteria entering the tanks. It's common practice for small amounts of chlorine to be added.Most airlines have a no uplift list for their short...
Sudden QF price changes

Aug 23, 2019, 12:20 PM

The other week I was booking a flight with Qantas, and wanted a price with extra bags to compare prices. I entered my details but didnt even get to the payment screen when I abandoned the transaction.That afternoon Qantas sent me an automated email stating they were holding my seats and the price...
Air Baltic - Yes or No

Not sure where the negative reviews are coming from. They have a nice new fleet of A220s (previously C-Series) and were the most punctual airline in Europe last year.For a point to point, you will be fine.
Will I earn Velocity SC on Delta flight JfK to ICN?

Jul 30, 2019, 08:24 AM

In that case, you'll earn status credits and points on this itinerary. It appears to be an error with the velocity calculator that those city pairs (and many others) are omitted. MSP-ICN is included in the calculator, so there is no strange exclusion for South Korea in the VFF DL relationship.
