Feb 06, 2019, 05:31 PMI was in on the press conference. Paul Scurrah was remarkably non-committal about what he would do or where he would take the airline. No commitment to profitability.

Business class choice: Qantas Boeing 737-800 or Jetstar Beoing 787-8?
Jan 16, 2018, 05:48 PMGo Garuda is my advice. Reverse herringbone in business. Especially good on the DPS - SYD red-eye. Got a good 6 hours sleep, and off to work the next day. Did the daytime flight over in economy, and it was perfectly fine.
