    A new member is planning a trip to the US and wonders what the AFF view is on internal US airlines. In particular, as our member is a Platinum Velocity member, he/she is weighing up Delta vs Virgin.
    Both seem to have similar prices, I am a platinum velocity member will that get me extra luggage allowances, lounge access etc?
    The AFF view is pretty clear – Virgin America is the favourite.
    after a LOT of research, in terms of the actual flight experience I think Virgin America is a sensational airline and Delta is terrible
    I've flown both; I can safely say that once you're in the air, Virgin America is by far the better airline -- the service is friendly, the interior is better than Virgin Australia's new one
    Virgin America is amazing to fly with, Delta sucks dogs balls. It's chalk and cheese really
    One lone voice does barrack for Delta
    my experience of Delta was fine. I found the cabin crew were very friendly and helpful
    Regarding lounge access and status credits: both airlines offer Velocity Status credits, but Virgin America don’t offer free lounge access to Platinum Velocity frequent flyers, or anyone else for that matter.

    Who are the Sydney guests?

    My email says we are meeting at QCC Mascot to bus from there. Must be a coffee spot near?

    No lounge for me. I'll be coming directly from the CBD and don't really feel like lining Melbourne airports coffers any more than is absolutely necessary ;) Also it'll be just easier to drive to the...

    With the 787s coming on line will there be more promotion opportunities for current FOs or will Captains just change planes?

    I got badly caught in Darwin at the IHG a while ago and got a huge bill (>$100). Never again, Hilton now gets a lot of my business and I also carry my own dongle.

    Very annoying.

    Novotel AKL airport also has the 100 Mb limit.
