Compared to Sydney, Brisbane airport is a breeze to transit or clear security or immigration. It is far more spacious too.

few weeks after relaxation of travel, i had to go to JNB, the flight was 100% full, on the 787. There is a significant south african origin population out of sydney, melbourne.

You can bring guests with you for access, as long as they are flying on a QF aircraft i believe.

Unless your flight is less than 2 hrs, these profitable 2-2-2 may not be well liked, most people may connect from a long haul or medium haul, paying for international travel business class nowadays means one would expect lie flats. With SQ you would always get consistent lie flats except for thei...

For people who are much more aviation smarter than i'm, would BNE be lower than PER when it comes to economics of filling up an aircraft? Both TG and MH have stopped flying into BNE, but it looks like PER is getting a lot of love recently.

i thought almost 90% of indian departures happen in the early hours of the day?

QF used to provide half the status credits if you flew CX on a leg they were operating (60 on CX vs 125 on QF). Now that they are not flying the leg, would it not make sense for QF to provide 120 SC for this leg or wherever they do not provide a competing service?

Do you mean QF are dreadful because they provide only 50% SC when you fly CX?

For all the aviation wizards out there, couple of questions:1. Is there a policy/law that allows AU/NZ carriers to fly out of each other's countries to other ports easily? I'm intrigued how QF could fly out of AKL to JFK (and pick up new passengers), and how Air NZ is ok with that, and how come t...

Pre pandemic, they have provided consistent seats on business class from Australia to Asia/Europe, and best of all, excellent pricing.HKG was divine for transit. It would be great for CX to bring back more aircraft, and for us to enjoy true competition on fares on J to Europe and Asia.

the last line about price competitiveness is never going to gel with QF's team. 

True, but at the same time, there is a difference between paying for seats versus using points for business class (personal trips)! I would rather go Brisbane-Cairns-Haneda on "business class" on the max using points, than trying my luck with QF A330 which usually have no seats for upgrade/classi...

I'm going there in two weeks, with two kids, 10 and 8, let me keep you updated, unless we get someone else who can share their experience.

Main land china government is a little too obsessed with covid (and making its SAR) to comply with their outdated mindset on covid control. This most likely would be the reason why most corporates are avoiding HKG and preferring SIN or other cities. I would love to see HKG become the awesome city...

I guarantee these T’s & C’s were brought in without any understanding what got them to offer this in the first place.Why on god’s earth they would not allow for this to be redeemable on a group booking defies logic or shows their lack of understanding or even worse, the idea...
