  • Qantas eyes Chicago as next non-stop Boeing 787 route

    Apr 04, 2018, 05:45 PM

    Difference is that whilst QF would get some connecting Canadian traffic through YVR from its partner Westjet, it would be nowhere near as much traffic as from AA in ORD or another of its ports.Air Canada on the other hand has a huge network in both Canada and the US so can filter people through Y...

  • Virgin Australia changes airport lounge access in Los Angeles

    I suspect you'll actually get looked after as I doubt very much they'll make you split up. Please report back!

  • Virgin Australia enters codeshare partnership with Air Canada

    Dec 17, 2016, 01:38 AM

    I am with you! I'm based in SYD but YYZ is my home airport so this news is spectacular. AC have great connections out of LAX with flights leaving every few hours, making the long trip home a bit quicker than routing through ATL/DTW/JFK or any of the others that DL fly through. Plus, when stage 2 ...

  • Virgin Australia relaunches Melbourne - Los Angeles flights

    Sep 26, 2016, 05:01 AM

    I go to California a few times a year for business (and fun) and frankly would MUCH prefer the afternoon arrival. That Sunday evening flight out of BNE sounds amazing, and one I will be looking forward to trying when the time comes. Understand it doesn't work for people with connections, but if ...

  • QF Platinum moving to Malaysia - any experience with Enrich or others?

    Sep 27, 2023, 09:02 AM

    As the subject line says, I am a QF Platinum who is about to move to Malaysia. Given MH's dominance out of KL to the rest of Asia and Australia, I will likely be doing a fair bit of travel with them. Given the very poor QF earn rates on MH I will clearly need to change FF programs. Curious as to ...

  • EK409 - any advice on lounge given the v/early departure?

    Sep 27, 2023, 08:58 AM

There was a surprising number of people at MEL int'l given the very early departure as a couple of flights leaving between 5 and 6am.Security and passport control were open after I checked in at 245am and a short walk later was in the MEL EK lou...

  • EK409 - any advice on lounge given the v/early departure?

    Aug 06, 2023, 04:50 PM

    Hi all,On 18.08 I am on EK409 MEL - DXB with an extraordinary departure time of 5.15am... I am curious as to others experiences, as to what to get up to at 3am at MEL? I presume the QF Flounge will be closed which is a shame, but guess EK may have their own? I'm a QF Plat flying in EK J class if ...
