American Express opens new Centurion lounge at London Heathrow T3

The restaurant has been renovated, which was sorely overdue. The buffet breakfast there was always spectacular, but the reno was long overdue. They’ll need it when the Westin opens just up the road!
ACCC approves Virgin Australia, Alliance tie-up on regional routes

Reminds me of an equivalent situation back in my time as a commercial sales exec at AN, when I asked one of the agency reps about where a particular travel agency’s allegiances lay - :“They’re Ansett-preferred, but they walk the streets at night with Qantas...”

I ultimately think your postulation is bang on, TRB. They are very much sympatico with both the QF/JQ and VA/TT situation of wanting to ensure they have blanket coverage of a region in both a LCC AND full service sense, while ensuring that only their LCC offspring services the ports that require ...
Will Qantas A380s get a new entertainment system or not?

Mar 01, 2016, 08:50 PM

The QF A380 Y class does not need an upgrade of anything - as someone who has flown it a dozen times, I can say unashamedly it still rates up there. I can rarely get through every movie & TV show on their IFE that I want to and, as several people have pointed out, anyone who is prepared will ...
