I received my card, but there is no mention of the 100,000 points when I spend $2,000. I had this card before, but I can't remember if any of the literature that arrived with the card mentioned the bonus points, or do they just appear when you make the minimum spend without any mention of them...

I'll use this one, since it was posted on my birthday!

When you're in a taxi, and at the end of your journey you wait for the seatbelt sign to go out before taking off your seatbelt!

3rd year as Platinum, and only had one upgrade, and it was after everyone was boarded on a 737-700 from MEL-SYD. 3A/C/D/F were moved to row 2, while our original seats were filled with people from further down the plane. We were told it was a load balancing exercise, and it was only the seat...

My level of satisfaction would have depended on what I saw when I boarded the aircraft. If the J cabin was less than 100% full, or better seats appeared to be unoccupied in Y, then I would have been less than satisfied. In all likelihood I would never have got to see the inside of the plane...

Looking at the FF Program section on the profile, I just want to know how a non WP got a row 3 seat in the first place! ;)

I've seen them on the VA new A330s, and on the SQ A380s.

Saw this article on new.com.au today, and thought it was such a poorly researched article.. How old is that aeroplane, really? | News.com.au They are listing signs that the aircraft is old, and m any of them are incorrect. They say that old planes have illuminated "No smoking" signs instead...

I found the AMEX Free Flight redemption to be most flexible for me in the past 12 months! Flight was due to depart BNE to go to SYD at 8am, which it did. I turned up at the checkin desk at 8:05am, and when they told me what flight I was on, they told me that it was gone, so they put me on the...

I've just sent a PM.

I was told in the SYD lounge last year that they were planning to get rid of XFA/XFB once they get more 332s in service. Not sure how many more that was though. At the time XFC/XFD & XFE were all in service. XFE was only a few weeks old at the time. As an aside, did the IFE in seat 1A of XFE...

Re: Purpose of a Virgin Lounge thread I'm in the Sydney lounge now too. Beer?

Ever wonder what would happen if armrests were done away with completely?

And only the armrest, not a few inches extra elbow room into the seat on each side! (Hope the non status fella in 3E on my Virgin flight last Sunday is reading this.. how he got a row 3 seat in the first place is a discussion for another thread..)

I'm in the BNE lounge until who knows when! Waiting for a 4pm flight delayed until at least 6:10pm! If anyone is around, sure join me for a beer. Think it might be nearly time to change the name of this thread..
