    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    I hope they only allow the animals onto designated flights and passengers will know there will be dogs and cats on board so we can avoid those flights. I love dogs but have no desire to share a confined cabin with them and all that entails. Yes, there are smelly, annoying humans sometimes but...

    How do I select seats on Virgin booked using Krisflyer miles?

    Probably only one of the few times you won't get sent a "We value your feedback" request!

    How do I select seats on Virgin booked using Krisflyer miles?

    I've still got a good stash of Krisflyer miles but as we are unlikely to fly overseas again I think I will just convert them to Velocity points before they expire. I'll lose on the conversion but will use less Velocity points for bookings and will avoid all the problems with flight numbers and...

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    Somewhat harsh response I think. The man makes the point that he changed to an earlier flight to ensure he connects with his international leg. You may be technically correct but surely we should all expect that the contract we enter into with an airline is honoured by both parties.

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    In October we had a 2 week holiday in Airlie Beach, About a week before we were due to leave home our return VA flight from BNE - MEL (2nd of 3 legs) was cancelled. Virgin booked us on flights that meant an overnight stay in Melbourne. Rather than fly over 2 days we decided to add 2 more nights...

    Article: Qantas Considers Bringing Call Centres Back to Australia

    In 2023 with the massive immigration numbers into Australia it doesn't matter whether the call centre (Qantas or otherwise) is located overseas or in Oz, there is a real problem understanding the accents. At least the Qantas staff should be trained properly.

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    I have stopped spending money with Qantas in the sense I am no longer earning points, not entirely for the lecturing but other reasons such as lack of reward seats and overall service. I have been moving over to Virgin for about a year now. I still have Qantas points but am running them down on...

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    Obviously you belong to the other 50%. Most people, including myself are all for social justice, respect & equality but don't want an airline, large company or sporting body lecturing to us about it. They should stay in their own lane.

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    I would like to see elimination of Qantas pushing political/social causes onto us. It's not hard to understand that by doing what they are doing they potentially alienate 50% of their customer base.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    You wont see the $50 in your FB's account. Once you spend at least $50 on your 5th shop it will come off automatically when you scan your FB card and spend at least $50. They don't tell you that, you have to work it out for yourself!

    No Virgin Redemptions Using Krisflyer Miles

    Without knowing which route you are trying to book I just found plenty of reward availability using Krisflyer miles on Virgin for 3 different domestic options for next year. This is definitely a big improvement on what has been the case late in 2022. Which route booking are you trying to make?

    Article: Why Does Everyone Want to Visit Europe in Summer?

    I agree Matt. Last trip in the northern summer for us was way too busy, e.g London very crowded, packed like sardines in the Vatican Museum and you could barely move in San Marco Piazza. Never again, next time it will be in a shoulder season.
