  1. Seven weeks of joy have come to an end

    by , 31st May 2011 at 12:22 AM
    As the title suggests, I have had 7 joy filled weeks and they ended today. The last seven weeks have seen me flying with Virgin Blue/Australia on Monday mornings. It really has been a enjoyable, the staff have been consistently friendly and helpful. I have always got great seats when it comes to checking in. Unfortunately Virgin Australia doesn't have seat preferences and as I don't do windows I've had to move from 3A to 7 or 8 aisle a couple of times. Towards the end, however, check in had me ...
  2. Two hours with a CL bag tag

    by , 25th March 2011 at 06:03 PM
    I had an interest flight last night, SYD-ADL. I made the big push and got the 17:25 flight, which is way early for me to leave work, an early start to my europe trip next week. I boarded up front, there was no priority boarding (just mention that to continue a theme), more like the ground team member said to the flight team members "just start boarding them and while I get clearance".

    Anyway, I had 4F on a 73H. I get to row 4 and start to organise my crap. When this dude ...
  3. Delayed again - consistency is a problem

    Well, just a quick little note about my weekly Monday morning flight. It was with DJ this week. The Lounge was as good as usual. barista coffee was great. I finally opened my eyes and found the thin bread.

    Once on board the flight it was of the usual standard. There were 2 gold velocity members on the flight and we both got our pre-boarding call - 100% on DJ. My usual early morning sleeping flight. Crew were professional and friendly. I told the welcome FA that I liked the new look. ...

  4. Karma evens up the score

    by , 21st February 2011 at 05:59 AM
    Currently sitting in the ADL QP, I'm on Qantas this week for a break. Entry was funny. Flashed the card, when through the ritual of have you checked in? Yes. We need to see you BP, with an indication to go to the service desk. Where upon the kind CSA printed me a BP. I decided to mention that I didn't want a BP, to get blank stares in return. Then I explained that with the card I don't need a BP and at that point the first CSA kindly said "some of them don't want a BP". Interesting exchange, ...

  5. Priority Boarding Again - with Virgin Blue

    by , 16th February 2011 at 09:56 PM
    This week I was on Virgin Blue again on Monday morning. Their priority boarding worked a treat. I was pretty happy and I also liked that the first 2 or 3 rows in Y had empty middle seats. The crew were also really friendly, helpful and professional. But they seem to be that way on most of my flights on all airlines.

    However, I didn't really want to talk about the things that work well. I wanted to mention the something that is really becoming routine. A 30 minute delay for the flight. ...
