Can Airly’s semi-private jet service beat business class?
Dec 14, 2019, 07:23 AMThat's not quite right Russh7As at right now Glen Iris to Essendon is 27 minutes and to Moorabbin is 23. Acknowledged that it is not currently peak hour and times wound change if it was, but equally it is not a “freeway” between Glen Iris and Essendon - tolls are payable for the entire journey if...

Can Airly’s semi-private jet service beat business class?
Dec 11, 2019, 12:42 PMThe logical market for these guys from Melbourne is Moorabbin airport. Lots of big employers in the south east who lose over an hour of productivity each time an employee has to get to/from the airport, not to mention up to $150 in one way taxi fares. The incremental gain of Essendon is minimal a...

Qantas looks to add new Gold, Platinum frequent flyer perks
Nov 25, 2019, 11:02 PMGlad this is being looked at. I've dropped from P to G and will land on LTS at the end of this year. I won't have any real incentive other than utilisation of banked points to fly OW once my gold year has run out and then none at all. If, as LTS, I started each year at 300 status credits rather ...

Retaining Platinum: can I use points?
Dec 02, 2019, 12:43 PMThey'll likely off you a retain for 120k points. I chose not to go with it and use the points for a business flight instead.

Qantas double status credit promotion
Nov 19, 2019, 09:43 PMBizarrely, I just googled for it as well and it popped up with a âcongratulations, you are now registered messageâ. Of course the offer is closed so a moot point - I definitely don't recall getting the offer. I've been waiting/hoping for one too, so will be ann...

Time for Qantas to speak up against and ditch Neil Perry and Rockpool?
Oct 25, 2019, 12:30 PMGiven this from February this year, a bit hard for Qantas to take a moral stand...Qantas Airways will fork out thousands of dollars in backpay after discovering an "embarrassing" bungle that saw it short-change dozens of workers, while overpaying others.
