Richard Branson to support Virgin Australia’s new owners
Jun 01, 2020, 07:10 PMWell said, @pete sw. You virtually summed up my own experience and expectations: am also a V-Plat, and I very much enjoyed the LCC years of Virgin Blue too, equally I've always regarded QF as a good airline although for some weird inexplicable reason I could never summon much enthusiasm for them ...

Qantas still cool on flights from Perth to Paris, Frankfurt
May 23, 2020, 09:57 AMThank you. The more I find out, the more it seems my initial impression about PER airport management throwing its weight around like a mad monopolist was indeed correct. This "squeeze 'em dry" approach never works long term. Thank God Changi management (my most frequented 'monopoly' airport) does...

Qantas still cool on flights from Perth to Paris, Frankfurt
May 22, 2020, 11:54 AMBeing unfamiliar with the politics of Perth Airport, it seems to me that airport management there is very strident in its approach with QF and VA over fees and other issues, compared to other capital airports.

Thai Airways headed for bankruptcy court, restructure
May 19, 2020, 09:47 AMNo matter which party/coalition is in charge, Thai Gov't policy for decades has been to maintain TG (not just for the sake of having a flag carrier) as a vital piece of economic infrastructure on the premise that tens of millions tourists flown in every year spend big and support the broader econ...

Here's my similar experiences, and how it might help you to get your points. My past three flights with Hawaiian Airlines flying business class were not credited, despite...

Terrible customer service in Madrid
Dec 27, 2019, 09:02 PMCustomer service in southern Europe is often brusque and what you experienced at Iberia is commonplace. It's their 'normal'. But coming from places like Australia and Asia - where service is typically more focused and polite and sometimes even quite friendly - it can take some getting used to Spa...
