Pity airlines find this so difficult. Meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, and any grain that's not wheat, barley or rye: it's all gluten-free! And yet every airline snack has a thousand ingredients with loads of crazy numbers and always wheat...

Thanks Scottz95! So won't help if I become Etihad silver?

Hi there I am booked on VA641, VA29, EY31, Canberra-Sydney-Abu Dhabi-Paris. My booking shows that I have '2 bags included' on each sector. Is this false for the EY sector? The call centre told me I have '30kg' included across the trip due to the EY allowance being lower. According to...

Have they fixed the sinks in the men's bathroom yet? I went through their in August last year and there was only one sink with a working tap. Came through again a few weeks following that and there was still only one bloody sink! How hard is it to install a tap? Also, it was hard to find who...

Same! Booked my first VA flights in a while yesterday for that period and then received this email today!

Just make sure you grab a bite to eat somewhere else!

Champagne is nice but it would also be nice to be able to eat a proper hot dinner in the ANZ lounge after 9pm at night. Had the misfortune to arrive there at 8.50pm a few months back to find that there was nothing left to eat.

SORRY I POSTED THIS IN THE 'ASK VELOCITY' AREA - COULD A MODERATOR PLEASE MOVE IT? VA Gold here just back from flying Etihad Melbourne to Abu Dhabi and Alitalia onward to Milan (and back). I've got to say, Etihad have their work cut out with Alitalia. The economy seats seem to be designed...

Entertainment system is OK. Seats are average. Flight attendants realise the product is a bit embarassing. You can't get a cup of green or peppermint tea and there isn't a water dispenser. The meal is tiny. The lounge is packed to the brim and wifi unuseable.

Yes, the meals are fairly ordinary and not particularly large. But better than Delta! The crisps are Ruffles, pretty bloody ordinary. Nothing healthy.

Agree SQ outposts are difficult. It took a lot of discussion with the check-in agent in Hanoi to get him to speak to his supervisor who seemed aware of VA. He kept trying to tell me that VA wasn't in Star Alliance. I was showing him a screenshot from the website and he was getting all...

Velocity Gold status, Saturday/Sunday I flew Hanoi-Singapore-Melbourne with Singapore Airlines and then VA to Canberra. Luggage had SQ priority tag. Checked in with VA and it seems that without me noticing it the agent REMOVED my SQ tag and didn't put on a VA one. I would have understood it...

From anywhere like London, Paris, Madrid, Rome to anywhere in Scandinavia, etc.

Same for me! Annoying.

That's what I had in mind, I'm keen to try the international product! ;)
