Qantas launches Darwin-Singapore flights
Jan 18, 2024, 12:12 PMI have no idea what the people of northern Australia think and unless you've surveyed them, you're making assumptions. What we can say is that Cairns and Darwin, while undoubtedly lovely places, have a population under 300k combined. Qantas connects those markets to its main hub (Sydney). Si...

Qantas LAX A380 change will hit thousands of passengers
Aug 23, 2023, 10:39 PMYou know... There are other airlines that Qantas? Personally, if I was hanging around the LA area, the new timing works better for me... Only have to stay up for a few hours, rather than that whole day.

Qantas to fly Finnair’s amazing new business class
May 19, 2023, 01:26 PMHonestly, from a passenger perspective, why does it matter? Not every decision needs to bring out every armchair CEO. There will be a very good product flying between Sydney and Bangkok, and a bunch of other frequency improvements. This is a good thing.

Virgin Australia drops Delta for new United Airlines partnership
Dec 14, 2021, 10:06 AMYes, I think this is a good sign that there is no short/medium turn plan for VA international widebodies. Makes sense anyway at the moment.

Here is Virgin Australia’s new ‘buy on board’ menu for economy class
Mar 25, 2021, 10:54 PMYou're probably right, I can't imagine many people picking a flight on a meal. But moving to BOB is a revenue opportunity, but you kind of need to offer good options... Particularly on East - West flights where you have a captive audience.The flipside, will QF extract more revenue from the percep...

Here is Virgin Australia’s new ‘buy on board’ menu for economy class
Mar 25, 2021, 12:54 AMEven if Virgin continued to offer a "snack" on board, there was nothing stopping those who wished to buy something at the airport to take onboard... and if $7.50 noodles is anything to go by, the value proposition is not looking good.Overall, I'm doubtful the removal of food will contribute more ...

Qantas to launch new rescue flights from London, India, South Africa
Oct 16, 2020, 09:47 AM@auskiwiflyer - we don't have all the details, but generally looking at past examples indicates the government underwrites the cost of the flight and has a role in the pricing of the flight. Revenue obtained offsets cost to run flight. If flight runs at loss, the difference is picked up. Whi...

Qantas to launch new rescue flights from London, India, South Africa
Oct 15, 2020, 11:31 PMIm not sure this is correct. I understand the facility is larger than this and given they want to bring 1000 people home through here a month (at least what I've seen), that indicates it will take 500 or so at any one time.
