  • Qatar Airways brings fast free WiFi to Australia

    Oct 24, 2024, 12:33 PM

    Looking forward to using this with the expanded tie up + additional flights to Europe between Qatar and Virgin Australia and all the perks. That’s a great option. Great wifi on all international flights.

  • €400 ‘green tax’ for Europe’s frequent flyers

    Western world has gone mad - tax has never done anything other than allow governments to run bloated departments and new social programs. A tax doesn’t cut emmisons one micro gram - this is crazy.

  • Do Qantas’ upgraded meals hit the spot?

    God that looks underwhelming- for al the rage about QF offering a service no one else offers domestically. Glad I don’t pay overs for that.

    Wow what an impressive seat / suite and hard product.Looks a-lot like VA’s J seat / suites.Combined with above average food and satays. This looks like a top travel option, at most likely a great price point.Well done MAS. 

  • Qatar Airways to take 25% stake in Virgin Australia

  • What is the future of Virgin Australia?

    Jul 31, 2018, 01:25 PM

    Nice piece CityRail.Some points 1) No new service (HKG) will make money from day 1, especially when the big guys react as they have time and time again, new entrant = dump capacity.QF = 330-380, CP 330-777. Not the only factor driving decision but no doubt it’s part of the intent.70% LF fro...

  • Delays to Virgin Australia flights VA1 and VA2

    Jul 21, 2018, 09:53 AM

    There are and have been massive terminal and runway works both of recent times and currently underway that greatly effect flights at LAX. I’ve traveled with VA multiple times and always left on time. I also agree with Mitch VA has the best product and that’s proven with the best busin...

    Jul 01, 2018, 09:33 PM

    Ridiculous are we in 1970.

  • What's the point of staying loyal to Qantas?
