Yup, as above, all good advice. Here's how I see it.
You take the following basic rules:
Delta first class counts as "business" for Velocity SC earn
Many first class flights in Delta are cheaper "Y-up" or "instant upgrade" types, which count for the full SCs; but there are caveats, so keep...
Just had a peek at the source. The fonts seem to be DroidSans, or Arial, or sans-serif; in that order preference. Maybe it's a bug with Safari's ligatures in DroidSans?

Re: Virgin Australia streaming IFE
Good idea and good intention; from a technical point of view there's no problem either.
I'm guessing the issue is with licensing with the movie industry (and TV and music industries)...
If you get a set of the Priority Baggage tags, keep 'em after your flight, and just re-attach them for yourself next time prior to check-in. A bit cheeky but you're entitled to it :cool:
I think it may have been a sale... I was browsing through the "View Best Fares" pages a few nights ago, and I vaguely remember an "on sale until midnight 19th March" notice for some. If anyone has better memory than I do, please confirm/deny...
So, some "experimenting" with UpgradeMe Premium Bid...
VA1207 CBR-BNE. Bid range was $150-350. Bid $150. Outcome: success!
VA1226 BNE-CBR. Bid range was $150-350. Bid $150. Outcome: success!
Both flights on E190, upgrading from Saver Light fares, with Velocity Gold membership. First flight had...
Ah, gotcha.
Saver and Saver Lite fares count as "Discount Economy", so I suspect you'd get 20+30 status credits one way.
If you booked Flexi, that counts as "Full Fare Economy", so that's how you'd get 40+60 status credits one way.
Be careful about scraping your tyres (ahem, tires) on the kerb (ahem, curb). Of course none of us ever do this in Australia ;) but when you're on the other side of the car, you can lose track of how far you can or can't get.
Scraped rims are the least of your worries. We blew out a tyre...
Here's a good one. We flew VA8002 (codeshared with AirNZ, it was actually NZ102) SYD-AKL right after the changeover on 18th January 2013. (As previously mentioned.)
By March, nothing had posted, so we filed a retro claim and got this:

Instead of making it cheaper in points for upgrades, they could make it so Platinum members earn points at a faster rate than anyone else. This would give the same effect...
...only they already do this? ;)
A little bit more information on this.
A lot of signs in Japan are in English... and as a result, although many Japanese aren't great at speaking English, they're more accustomed to reading it.
So if you're talking to someone and they look confused, try writing your question on a piece of...
Ah, yes. Thanks for reminding me...
When I talked about "first class (A)" above, that's technically a "Y-up" fare. I recommend searching for "Y-up" on this forum for more info, but basically it's a discount first fare with one huge disclaimer/drawback: if you miss your flight or otherwise have...
If you want to go Delta and do a "status run", I just had a look at their prices: US$548 in first class (A) from LAX to either O'Hare or Midway, connecting through Memphis, Minneapolis or Detroit. (Lots of choices of route.)
In theory, this should get you 80 + 40 status credits per person. With...
