Rex cuts Sydney-Melbourne flights
Feb 22, 2021, 02:58 PMI love REX's spin on this blaming the "Brunetti hotspot" as opposed to perhaps an overall ability to fill these flights. I was impacted by this as I was flying MEL-SYD on March 2. Got an SMS on Saturday advising of a schedule change and for me to contact their call centre - which turns...

Rex cuts Sydney-Melbourne flights
Feb 22, 2021, 02:46 PMI love their spin on how the blame falls on the "Brunetti's hotspot outbreak" and nothing on perhaps due to an overall lack of demand to fill all their flights. I was impacted by this as I was to fly up to Sydney on March 2 . Got an SMS on Saturday 20 Feb advising of a schedule change and ...

Tips for staying trim on the road
Sep 26, 2018, 08:07 AMThis is a small step but overall I find it does help. I always walk at airports and never use the escalator or travelator. Of course if one is lugging a 10kg carry on and dog tired, then that's a different story. On occasion when I have a 4-5 layover at Singapore Changi , I have walked all the w...

Get Star Alliance Gold from just one flight
Mar 06, 2018, 01:38 PMWorth noting on the Promotions page after submitting your information, one particular T&C along the lines of "Please note your membership MAY no be valid at partner lounges..." (Sorry I should have copied and pasted it). That't a very pertinent T&C to make note of! Particularly as I am m...

Govt crackdown on TRS rebates
Mar 06, 2018, 01:22 PMI am surprised this TRS scheme is open to Aussie passport holders in the first place. In most other countries (ie the ones I've mainly used it such as Singapore, EU) it is only open to tourists/non-residents. Seems to work well there without any issue.

Virgin Australia acknowledgement of veterans
Nov 05, 2018, 12:37 PMAs Australians, I don't think this sort of lip service is warranted nor expected. It seems really awkward. I mean, if VA was a government run airline, then I'd kind of get it, but its not even that.One could argue further about this cause, should supermarkets do the same for veterans (express que...

Virgin Australia and Star Alliance
Nov 02, 2018, 08:19 AMJoining an alliance certainly wont happen under JB's clock. He has been strongly opposed to this, instead focussing on building invididual partnerships with airlines. This is where VA is weaker in the sense that it cannot offer the global coverage and frequent flyer benefits that it's rival Qant...

Difference between T2 and T3 KrisFlyer Gold lounges at Changi?
Sep 27, 2017, 01:22 PMThe T3 one is a tad more glamorous than the T2 one. The T2 one is much darker, with less natural light surrounding it. Like the T3 set up, toilets are outside, which is a hassle in itself. The food options on offer were about the same time the last time I used them both a few months ago.
