What is the holdup with starting the building work? assuming that is on AIAL not QF, as they would need the additional space built first? so they can shift the lounge partly over to the new space then re do the current space? QF should really just tee up a deal with EK to fully use there...

ZL390 SYD-BNE last night was chicken schnitzel with veg. Was an pretty good main, would rate it over some meals I’ve had on VA.

Did ZL390 last night SYD-BNE 2x pax $35 each accepted at the 3hr mark. Think the whole cabin was upgraded from the convos going on.

It’s basically near impossible for New Zealand based members to keep status now, unless we want to do some self qautrine! We don’t have any local ways of earning SP, the best way is VA J on the Tasman which currently isn’t an option now.

If VA has cancelled 1 flight of four on trip, does that mean you would be more likely toget an refund from them? they just cancelled my MEL-AKLflights.

Is anyone else have this strange issue with the VA website not showing updated status / points information when making an booking? I'm still getting RED months, after getting GOLD which impacts seat selection at time of booking. Also note the as at is the 23/Dec/2020 - its like there SYNC...

My status upgrade was processed on the 25/12/19 and shows on the APP, but just noticed when you log-on to book an flight the booking engine still has my old status guess thats why I'm not seeing any better seat selection yet....

Seems random, the in last couple of weeks. AKL-SYD: posted a couple of hours later SYD-BNE: posted the next day BNE-AKL: post before landing Take it is an very manual process at VA with someone having import them manually?

Which still seems to be very heavily promoted on the Tasman, the last couple of flights the basket came around couples times and were encouraged to take an couple of items. On the Tasman some FSM leave the snack basket out in the galley too, and mention that you free to grab snack when ever...

Probably an hard place for VA, pre the NZ breakup I'm thinking lounges for WLG/BNE International was never on the cards. Wonder why they didn't just go with the SQ lounge or Plaza Premium for BNE? I find the VA International lounge at BNE to be ok (solid walls would of been great), but then...

SYD-BNE VA973 (23/12) 6pm departure. Masman Curry (Beef) with rice

VA140 AKL-SYD (24/12) Ham Hash Cake 7.15am departure delayed to 10:15am departure. Would have though it with the delay it would of been re-catered with Lunch, no being an midday arrival into Sydney.

VA140 AKL-SYD (3hr delayed). $16 worth of vouchers supplied, with the check-in staff suggesting that you could use them to buy something onboard *great service* hopefully there is now lunch loaded on board, rather than breakfast. Also seems like Virgin Samoa is still an thing in AKL.

Sounds like VA has an very slow to post rewards system then?

BNE-AKL - November 2019 (PM) BBQ Pork on Noodles
