Apr 24, 2024, 09:21 PMA 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.

Singapore Airlines switches Cairns to an Airbus A350
Mar 29, 2024, 07:30 PMI could be wrong here but most of the VA flights have a SQ code on it within Australia.I would be most interested to see how many Adelaide people on the way home opt for the daytime Singapore to Perth flight clear customs and immigration then recheck their luggage for the domestic sector home on ...

Cathay Pacific’s Australian rebound
Mar 28, 2024, 05:58 AMI would not be too worried if Adelaide did not return.You can currently get way better connections via Melbourne or Sydney using a Qantas domestic service to link to Cathay CX100 OR CX104 and in the other direction CX161,CX101 OR CX105.Maybe the Chinese student market from Mainland China and Hong...

Qantas A220 - seatback IFE screens or not?
Dec 19, 2023, 08:43 PMIf 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...

MEL-DRW - Using Embraer's for a 4 hour flight??
Sep 10, 2023, 08:34 AMOriginally Posted by williamjs Yeah, it is pretty funny, they now exclusively use the same on ADL-BNE. Pretty disappointing to go from QF mainline to that.

What are people's observations of loads on flights?
Jun 28, 2023, 06:11 AMthis 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...

Apr 13, 2023, 06:28 AMWhat does one do these days.I am not sure if bringing my own phone with YouTube music and other videos counts as an option
