Time for a late annual entry, having completed 4 years on AFF I somehow forgot to do my yearly wrap. I must be tired!

Whoever does communicate with Virgin about the Sabre transition – please take the following list of problems with them – gathered from trawling the numerous AFF complaint threads.

Shanghai.....I had a week’s business in Shanghai, a JASA with QF. It’s all coming back. QF400, a 734 and another lack of priority boarding. I must say I am looking forward to daylight savings and QF129 going back to a 10:25 departure. Much more civilised, no gulping down eggs benedict in a rush....but I’m getting ahead of myself.
