Check you actually get the two-for-one price I succesfully booked a two-for-one ticket last weekend. It did not go smoothly. The lady doing the booking at one point had given me the price for two tickets. I had questioned it, and she had said "oh, you are right" and then given me the price for...

I've spent a few hours today reviewing my current choice of credit cards. Much of the time has been reading posts on this site which have been very useful. A big thank you to everyone who shares their experiences and knowledge. I currently have an Amex Platinum Edge and a Velocity Flyer Visa...

In response to the OP, I have a trivial and more significant point. The trivial is fix the soap dispensors on the 747s so they are not easy to knock off. It is very annoying when someone has knocked one off its mounting and it has disappeared down the rubbish bin shute directly beneath them (in...

Actually that is not correct. From the Qantas website for domestic flights: "Children up to 12 years of age, are permitted one car seat and one collapsible pram, stroller or push chair in addition to the checked baggage allowance." Apparently, I haven't posted enough to give you a link that...

I have access to the Qantas Club. One thing I always do (including when flying business) is get off the plane as quickly as possible at the half way point (Singapore, Bangkok etc), get into the club and have a shower. I then grab a juice and a quick bite to eat and then spend the rest of the...

My wife and I are looking at travelling to the UK soon with our newborn. We'll be wanting a bassinet and I was wondering whether anyone had noticed any particular differences between the 777 and A380 bassinet rows.

That's useful to know. Thanks notzac.

Re: Virgin Money credit cards (linked to Velocity rewards) That's useful to know. Thanks notzac.

Both were Canberra - Townsville return on direct flights. I could get both ways in November but neither in August. Regards, Peter

Sorry, I got that slightly wrong. Turns out it is still an F class (as per a much earlier post) ticket that is required. Unfortunately, I can't see F class tickets on ExpertFlyer for Virgin - that site also suggests that F class is used for First which just adds to my confusion. Anyway, I...

I rang Virgin Australia and asked them to check whether there were tickets available on some days I am interested in. While talking to the lady, I asked what were the conditions she was checking. She advised that the two for one deal can be used when there is an S class ticket available and the...

Re: Virgin Money credit cards (linked to Velocity rewards)! I realise I am resurrecting an old thread, but this deal is now even more complicated. As Virgin Australia has abadoned the GO! Fare, you now have to ring the call centre to find out when flights are available. Not happy.
