This came up on my feed from The Australian on Instagram. No release from Qantas or any other news platform that I can see so far, so hard to say how reliable it is. If it is true I expect we will see more news on it in the coming weeks.

It appears Qantas have gone for the Thomson Vantage Solo seat. It’s a good seat, can’t say I expected (or wanted) anything else, and I’m sure it will be more than comfy for the 5-7 hour flights it will operate.

Obviously not as nice as the wide-body seat, but I’m sure many will be happy to take that hit for a direct flight.

At SYD T1 tonight. Haven’t seen that tail on a FID in a longgg time!

Am I missing something here? Found a vending machine today. Cash not an option, card only, and every transaction had a 2% surcharge pre displayed before tapping.

Not only is card surcharging illegal when there’s no other reasonable alternative way to pay the headline price, but 2% is excessive. Only the most premium of cards charge over 2% with most Visa’s or Mastercards within 0.5% to 2% at a max.

Obviously surcharges are being outlawed, which is great, but more needs to be done about businesses who have and still do take the piss.
