I was impacted by this as I was flying MEL-SYD on March 2. Got an SMS on Saturday advising of a schedule change and for me to contact their call centre - which turns...

Rex cuts Sydney-Melbourne inaugural launch flights
Feb 22, 2021, 02:46 PMI love their spin on how the blame falls on the "Brunetti's hotspot outbreak" and nothing on perhaps due to an overall lack of demand to fill all their flights. I was impacted by this as I was to fly up to Sydney on March 2 . Got an SMS on Saturday 20 Feb advising of a schedule change and ...

Tips for staying trim when travelling on business
Sep 26, 2018, 08:07 AMThis is a small step but overall I find it does help. I always walk at airports and never use the escalator or travelator. Of course if one is lugging a 10kg carry on and dog tired, then that's a different story. On occasion when I have a 4-5 layover at Singapore Changi , I have walked all the w...

Jul 06, 2022, 10:17 PMThis is not surprising one bit. Looks like a lot of new staff are not even given frequent flyer 101 training and are literally thrown in the deep end.I had a similiar experience with the Singapore Airlines call centre in Manila. This was a premium cabin number too. The staff member literally ha...

Virgin Australia acknowledgement of veterans
Nov 05, 2018, 12:37 PMAs Australians, I don't think this sort of lip service is warranted nor expected. It seems really awkward.
