Mar 16, 2023, 10:13 AMMeh I'd prefer the lemon mint at boarding, Arabic coffee and date, Moroccan mint teas after dining to help digest. Water in between or you de-hydrate.

Now on sale: Virgin Australia launches Cairns–Tokyo flights
Dec 14, 2022, 10:02 AMConsidering business class direct return fares are around $8k to $10k return from Sydney/Melbourne I'd say people wanting a bit extra comfort will pay for the Virgin business seat and stop over for the $2k return current price tag

Qatar Airways brings its A380 back to Perth
Sep 13, 2022, 05:56 PMFlew Qatar into Perth just yesterday on the 777, every seat full with last few unsold filled by staff. I posted in community thread a week ago under QF - all flights I was seeing including SQ, EK and QF to PER are 90-100% full some even weeks in advance. Aside from tourism rebound Perth also has ...

Qantas eyes non-stop flights to Chicago, Miami
Sep 08, 2022, 10:40 AMHow are all these destinations being mentioned going to be served with 12 A350s? Majority would not be daily which is an inconvenience to have to suit Qantas schedule then your own.

First because you can double dip on OneWorld alliance and use that to your advantage when travelling VA domestically or if ever having to use QF.

Options for flights
Jan 16, 2023, 01:19 AMIf you are looking at flying premium and chasing status also, why not Qatar? I'd avoid their first class on A380 and opt for their Q suites, but if you are adamant on first then hop down to Sydney for their A380, and then onto London.
