New Route for Australian Airlines
Just checked on the company announcements from Qantas today, and they've announced seasonal flights on Australian Airlines to Sapporo in Japan from Cairns, to tap into the Northern Hemisphere snow season (and no doubt to let all those freezing their butts off in Sapporo fly down to Cairns for some sunshine too 
). Certainly a shame that there's no miles to be earnt, but still nice to see the expansion coming on a route I certainly hadn't heard being speculated about before. At least in a couple of weeks lounge access will be allowed, hurrah!

Hokkaido is Japan's premier ski area, and I highly recommend a vist. In particular, the Sapporo Snow Festival in February is truly amazing.
