    Maybe the third runway is at Essendon?

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    Good call! I haven't been to Hobart for 43 years but am currently sitting in the VA lounge here (aka the Jetstar baggage weighing area - quietest spot on the airport). I'm still only giving myself 50:50 of getting home to Sydney tonight.

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    MY SYD-ADL-SYD journey was completed mucked p. Missed a meeting in ADL yesterday after being re-routed through MEL with a 4 hour layover. FInally arrived in ADL at 3:25 after more delays. Flight this evening cancelled, so now have to leave a lunch early to get ADL-HBA then HBA-SYD, finally...

    The Midlife Crisis thread

    I hear you! The tinges of regret I treat with some amazing memories of deeds past, and I try to focus on continuing to learn new things. The world fascinates me and I plan on much more than just crosswords (which I love, incidentally) when I retire, hopefully sometime in the next 5 or so years...

    Meet me in the SQ Lounge thread

    Wife and I will be enjoying the First lounge in Sydney on the 7th of July from about midday, and hopefully the Private Room or the First lounge in SIN on 11th from about 9pm. Happy to say hi to any fellow AFF members in J or F lounges. There used to be a few who suggested the J lounge was better...

    AFF Review: SAS ATR-72 Economy Class (CPH-HAM)

    All 5 of the pgsdiver family did the rail trip CPH -FRA, with a train change in Hamburg. The train actually entering a ferry was a hit with the kids (and me, if I'm honest). One caveat, though. It can get tough on the trip over to the German side. My eldest got pretty green, admittedly he did...

    KrisFlyer Star Alliance Round-the-World Award Planning

    Based on the previous poster it looks like 2xSIN is possible.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    As a further update, I finally had to give up yesterday and tried the priority number with no better result. Am now on my second try today. Tried at 6pm (couldn't do it any earlier) and was hung up on after 23 minutes.Am now on hold again. I've emailed them and will be straight off to fair...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Agree with Mattg. I've tried now five times at various times morning to evening over the past two days and have never been on hold less than 30 minutes.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    @RedSMS - I feel your pain. This is after my 4th attempt to ring QF to change a flight. Currently at 1 hour and 5 minutes on hold (after variously, 30 minutes, 54 minutes, 40 minutes on previous calls) so at least the rumoured 1 hour cut off is proven as a myth. I'm guessing that QF's woeful...

    Trouble cancelling a Virgin flight

    Hi all, Unfortunately a trip to BNE fro SYD was rendered impossible tomorrow, so I went online to try to cancel my VA flights.. No dice, says I have to call, then when I call it hangs upon me saying they are busy and that I should try to cancel online. If I was only slightly thicker than I am...

    Hyatt Regency Brisbane

    I stayed here slightly involuntarily after the VA outage in BNE last Friday. I have to say the staff were really good. I got there as the kitchen was closing and they rang and got them to make something for me. They were also really pleasant on departure at 5am next day. The room was a step up...

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Finally back in SYD this morning on the 7:05 service, after a night at the Hyatt Regency in BNE - where the staff were really lovely and kept the kitchen open to make me some dinner. KUDOS HRB. Since this si a lounge thread I wanted to compliment the VA lounge crew last night who struggled with...

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Seriously - it is now 21:18 and VA still have not officially cancelled the 1905 flight - what are they playing at? Even if they board now and hot rod it all the way down the coast it'll never make curfew. I don't understand why they would wait to cancel..........

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    I'm on the only flight not yet cancelled BNE to SYD, although it is showing a departure time of 2245. No way that is going to land at 0015........I'm off to a hotel.
