Oct 22, 2021, 09:14 AM

Where will Qantas source their pilots to bring back these routes before the end of the year? 1000 pilots who haven’t flown since the pandemic will need 90 days of training and checking to be ready to fly again.
New Zealand travel bubble reopens with mandatory $150 COVID test

That's good news getting back from MEL is then sorted... but to get to Wellington from PER has become a real challenge at least on QF. The only possible non-quarantine route in July now involves a forced overnight in MEL and 18hrs travel. And now flight loads are being cut by 50% so p...

Asiana Club Frequent Flyer

Jul 14, 2020, 08:37 PM

For years flying THAI I could never attain needed miles in 12 months for * Gold Status. As an Asiana Club member you have 2 years to fly 40000 qualifying miles on Asiana or other Star Alliance airlines so it's easily possible to reach Diamond Status (equivalent of * Gold). After qualifying you n...
