Watch out for this sneaky change to the Tourist Refund Scheme
Apr 16, 2022, 06:23 PMGiantbird, except of course the items you brought overseas you should be declaring and paying GST on anyway. Assuming total value is over $900. So in theory doesn’t make much difference to most.

Watch out for this sneaky change to the Tourist Refund Scheme
Apr 16, 2022, 06:21 PMRegular flyer I am sure you realise this but the issue isn’t the exporting those items, the issue is re importing them when you return. In which case you are expected to pay that tax back. The core change of rules is the exclusion of exported items from the general duty free allowance ...

Qantas locks in domestic fleet order for Airbus A321XLR, A220 jets
Dec 17, 2021, 05:54 PMI think many, including myself when I first read and commented on this article are missing the fact that these new orders are being combined with the existing A320 family orders for the Qantas group. The Qantas announcement says both Jetstar and Qantas will be drawing from those orders. So t...

Dec 16, 2021, 05:18 PMA dash8-400 and even the smallest a220 are not even close to the same capacity. Dash 8-400 75 pax single class, A220-100 is around 120 in single class, 100-110 2 class. That’s a 33% increase in capacity. And besides Qantas are not ordering the smaller model, nor have they ruled it out eithe...

Qantas locks in domestic fleet order for Airbus A321XLR, A220 jets
Dec 16, 2021, 05:07 PMGold4life think the comment was in relation to the choice of the A321XLR specifically. What you have suggested could be done by a standard A321 or an A321LR. Says to me Qantas does have other plans for the A321’s that require an XLR and they are standardising on that model maybe to make fle...

Aircraft Code for 737 Max 8/9 etc
Feb 02, 2024, 09:40 PMI don’t think airlines like Malaysian that have both NG and Max variants deliberately try to mislead with plane type. Where the cabin configuration is near identical they will swap types at will based on operational need Same is done for A320 family operators too with CEO and NEO variants....

LOOPHOLE > AU-NZ Travel Bubble
Apr 27, 2021, 03:11 PMVery well put. And the thing I don’t understand about this bleating is if you have good reason to leave apply and if the reason is good enough you will be allowed to leave.
