Virgin Australia will launch its daily Sydney-Hong Kong nonstop service at the start of July 2018. The airline said it will join Cathay Pacific and Qantas on the busy Sydney-Hong Kong route from July 2 2018. It will operate Sydney-Hong Kong with its fleet of Airbus A330-200s featuring 20 business class seats with direct aisle access for every passenger and 255 seats in economy at eight abreast. Once Virgin Australia commences Sydney-Hong Kong flights, its Melbourne-Hong Kong offering will drop back to five flights a week, from daily service currently.
AirAsia will relocate operations at Singapore Changi Airport from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 effective 7 November 2017. All AirAsia flights scheduled for that day will arrive at and depart from Terminal 4. Departing and arriving flight schedules will not be affected by the move.
Guests departing from Terminal 4 are advised to arrive 3 hours before departure to ensure sufficient time to move through the new terminal, while those arriving in Terminal 4 are advised to inform their loved ones of the change.
Guests can reach the terminal via taxi, private hire cars, bus and personal transportation. Those using MRT services will need to head to Terminal 2 arrival hall and take the free shuttle bus service that will ferry guests to Terminal 4. The shuttle bus will be available every 10 minutes for 24 hours a day, every day of the week.
AirAsia Singapore CEO Logan Velaitham said the move to the new state-of-the-art, fully-automated Terminal 4 for all flights departing and arriving in Singapore is in line with AirAsia’s vision of becoming a digital airline.
“This year, the focus in Singapore is to embrace Fast and Seamless Travel (FAST). We collaborated with Changi Airport Group (CAG) to automate and innovate our check-in and airport experience. When you fly out of Changi with us, expect a fully automated service with FAST from door to gate, which integrates seamlessly into our own innovations on mobile and web,” he said.
He added: “Our ground staff have been upskilled into brand ambassadors for the airline, to assist guests with last-minute value-add services at check-in, such as buying travel insurance, inflight wifi or upgrading to Hot Seats.”
At Terminal 4, AirAsia will deploy 19 check-in kiosks, 14 auto bag drop machines, two document check counters and two payment counters at Row 4, with group check-in services available at Row 5.
Guests will be able to check-in at home via web and mobile, print their bag tags at our self-service kiosks and drop their bags at the auto bag drop machines when they come to the airport, or proceed directly to the gate if they have no check-in baggage.

Most credit cards have either “up to 44 days” or “up to 55 days” interest-free. But, be wary. It doesn’t mean you get 44 or 55 days interest-free from the moment you buy something. The “44/55 days” refers to from the start of your statement cycle to your statement’s due date. This is what we mean by “up to”. So you could get between a week interest-free or a maximum of 44 or 55 days.
Paying your closing balance in full is the best strategy. Remember if you don’t pay it in full each month, you don’t get your interest-free period.
Unpaid balance transfers mean no interest-free days.
If you haven’t repaid a balance transfer, all other purchases will earn interest immediately. There are no interest-free days. Only once you’ve repaid a balance transfer will your interest-free days resume normally.
