Be quick to apply for this Qatar Airways status match
May 20, 2020, 08:28 AMI don't see that it would matter much, the main thing QR will be looking for are your Virgin flights so they can see you have an actual 'flying pattern' and didn't just get your VA status through some other status match offer.

Qatar Airways: free flights for Aussie healthcare workers
May 15, 2020, 09:51 AMThis offer by Qatar is a good and grand gesture that has been very poorly implemented. Asking people to come back every day to register is insane because as this is a worldwide offer the website is being jammed 24x7, around the clock. It would have made much more sense to ask everybody to registe...

Rex to challenge Qantas, Virgin on capital city routes
May 12, 2020, 03:51 PMBring it on. REX must have a lot of passengers who don't just fly from a regional centre to a capital city but would do so to board an interstate flight, so it may as well keep those passengers instead of handing them over to Qantas or Virgin or even Jetstar.

Indigo to take Virgin Australia back to low-cost roots?
May 12, 2020, 03:46 PMThe last thing I want to see is for Virgin to become an ultra low-cost all-economy carrier. Even with the idea of buying just the seat and then paying for everything else in bundles like Air New Zealand does, I think we would end up in a race to the bottom, a price war against Jetstar where Jetst...

Which aircraft is best for an overnight flight: Airbus A330, A350, Boeing 777...
Jun 26, 2019, 02:40 PMOriginally Posted by Grannular What cabin? What airline? Sorry, it would be business class. I'm flexible on the airline, it's just that having to step off a 'red-eye' flight and pretty much go straight to work means I really need to make sure I get a good sleep. I appreciate that each airline ha...

Australian AirTrain Services
May 15, 2019, 06:24 PMA few years back there was talk of CityRail changing the way the Sydney Airport Link worked, they would just have the trains running a shuttle service from the international and domestic terminals to Central, back and forth.
