  • Qantas’ newest jet spreads its wings to Singapore

    Nov 06, 2024, 07:09 PM

    This will be interesting to see.What I would like to see out of Adelaide is we have a service on the a220 run via Darwin through to Singapore(Like what we had between 2001 and 2006,I don't know why they discontinued the nonstop at the time which had been running that way for the period Nov 1982 t...

  • Big changes coming to Virgin’s Singapore Airlines partnership

    Nov 06, 2024, 07:03 PM

    I have been flying SQ for as long as I can remember and things like the service even other airlines talk about and they are price competitive in a lot of aspects.If I was in a hurry and needed to get to Europe and Home again straight through then via Doha and Qatar has the advantage but if having...

    Oct 17, 2024, 08:55 PM

    I am wondering how many points would be it be now to get an Adelaide to Singapore return on Singapore Airlines in Economy.I know it's 56,000 currently but what will that be in the future.

  • Virgin moves to spend-based Velocity status earning

    Oct 17, 2024, 08:53 PM

    I am not likely to spend more than $1000 a year on flights on VA if that so these changes don't affect me as such but what about the people who fly fortnightly or monthly for work as opposed to leisure.

    Apr 24, 2024, 09:21 PM

    A further incentive for me to use Didi even for the shortest trips.I have noticed the airlines have gone from points with limo companies to ride share operators in recent times.

  • Qantas A220 - seatback IFE screens or not?

    Dec 19, 2023, 08:43 PM

    If they can do similar to Virgin offers on the 737's by allowing one to plug a phone into the unit and get their entertainment that way It would well work but one thing that would help is offering up to the minute programming.I flew VA Adelaide to Sydney both ways a year ago and there's only so m...

  • What are people's observations of loads on flights?

    Jun 28, 2023, 06:11 AM

    this was a long time ago for me but I remember on Qantas ADL-SYD I had 98 passengers out of 116 on a 737(This was back in the days of the 733/734)and onwards to Bali on a 767 there was 161 out of 229 from memory.I am guessing it was the period before schools were about to come back.of course almo...
