Richard Branson hints at all-new US airline after Alaska spat
May 22, 2017, 07:35 AMIt may be a significant cost, but they also get a benefit (higher loads, higher yields, higher revenue) out of using the highly regarded Virgin branding. This is particularly true for international customers, especially in markets served by Virgin Australia and Virgin Atlantic. These customers ex...

Malaysia Airlines puts its entire Airbus A380 fleet up for sale
May 03, 2015, 12:51 AMHow this shambles of an airline holds a coveted Skytrax 5 Star rating is beyond me. No... I am not talking about MH370 or MH17. MH was poor before these tragedies. EK, EY, CX, SQ, QF any day before MH.

Alitalia to get new business class, become 'five star airline'
May 03, 2015, 12:46 AMI travelled on them in January. It was by far the worst airline I have ever travelled on. I boarded the plane and this musty stench hit me in the face. Then I took a look around to a sea of old greyish ("ish" only because they were partly brown from years of dirt caked on) leather benches. The ba...

Virgin Australia's new TV commercial: have your say
Sep 09, 2014, 03:34 PMPretty lame. Unlike the Singapore Girl ads (some didn't have the plane in it either) you don't even get a sense of the product nor the destinations. When you live in Sydney and watch a whole bunch of Sydney scenes (see them everyday), it doesn't really drive you to go somewhere else.

I will be flying from SYD to HNL in early April on an A332 and i've been look...
Jan 16, 2016, 04:57 PMWhoops my previous comment is blank... fail.As an educated guess, SYD-HNL will probably be the last flight to be upgraded to refurbished A330's. This was the last international leg to be served by a Qantas B767. It also probably isn't regarded as strategically important as other A330 legs. It is ...

Could the new 777-8X fly direct from Sydney to Heathrow?
Mar 05, 2014, 06:38 PMI would guess that margin would be eaten up by the circling holding pattern at Heathrow. Brisbane or Darwin might be able to do it though. Would be interesting if we could make Darwin the nation's stop over port to Europe with such long range aircraft. But surely that won't happen.

You are Alan Joice- what would you do in the next 12 mths?
Mar 02, 2014, 12:58 PMI would not say that they make a fortune out of the program, but it at least enables QF to cover some of their costs. For the most part, particularly on domestic flights, Qantas staff only have access to empty seats. This often leads to staff being held on standby until the very last minute. Even...

Which international routes are QANTAS likely to cut tomorrow?
Feb 27, 2014, 12:40 AMRight you are. It might just be ETOPS-330 but of course QF doesn't have a 777.
