For some reason as of this morning I have not been able to post a like on any comments. The like button at the bottom of the comment screen has disappeared. Does anyone know how to get this back?

I'm in the Syd lounge now until about 10:30 then I'll be in the Bne lounge about 15:30.

Flew Syd-Mel-Syd over the weekend. Snack to Mel was carrot & ginger muffin and a honey & something muesli finger (not big enough to classify as a bar). On the way back it was Carmen corn chips with spicy tomato salsa. Both snacks were very tasty.

I threw gold dust at him and when he collapsed I just removed it - easy. All whovian's know that.

I am in the Melbourne lounge now until about 16:30. Over by the window in a Cyberman T-shirt.

I am in the Sydney lounge for the next 15 minutes.

banana0692 is that requal plat or new to plat? Either way well done!!

I have Syd/Mel/Syd departing this Friday and return Sunday, then Syd/BNE/Syd next Wednesday followed by Syd/Mel/HBA/Syd in April. Need to find another 230 SC before end of May for Plat re-qual. Might have to take the family to Fiji in May - what a hard way to earn SC's!!!

Re: Nice Wines I have DranK Recently - Red or White Before Christmas we had a 1998 Metala (bought in 1999) which I must admit I was worried about as my storage isn't what it should be but geez it was nice. I was very pleasantly suprised. After Christmas we had a 2008 Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz -...

Hope you enjoy the trip anthon.

banana0692, If they have set up a second account in your name, then they have probably done that with each employee that travels. Whilst I understand your reluctance to make waves with your employer as you like the place, as most people have commented here, it is against the VA T&C's to have...

Good points. I guess he just needs to wait for the Amex points to flow through then.

Why not do a points plus pay?

Banana0692 why don't you just ask your employer for the name of the ff number? That will tell you who it is going to and whether it is dodgyish (the company) or really dodgy (PA or someone else). Then you can have a conversation with them about the merits of what they are doing. If they...

The Qantas Board will announce that they have finally figured out what a knob AJ is and that they won't be renewing his contract. Also that Emirates is buying a 25% stake and that they will use the funds to purchase 777's or 787-8/9's to breathe life back into QFi.

I was just perusing the VA website for flights to New York when I found SYD to JFK via LAX in J (bus saver)for $5,761 return. Dates I was looking at were 21 May to 20 June 2014 (on VA1/VA6690 and VA6572/VA2). It was about $900 dearer the PE saver both ways and substantially cheaper than regular...

I don't think so either. I'd like to see: 1. points upgrades from saver fares for platinums 2. Lifetime recognition 3. Upgrades with points on partner airlines for platinums (although with Virgin not being in an alliance, this may be difficult to do)

Got to agree with you wholeheartedly there drewbles. Is it a bummer if they start to charge for it? Yeah sure, but if we weren't supposed to be getting it (in some instances) and now they are just enforcing the T & C then just build a bridge and get over it. As drewbles said, it was great...

tinkybelle, how is this a big deval for you even though you don't use it much? Seems contradictory. This is no biggie for me. Have only had it suggested to me at check- in a few times, but not for a long while. If I asked and got rejected, then I would just shrug and make up for it in the lounge.

On a similar note, I almost didn't receive my points from a hertz rental because they thought I was trying to use 2 loyalty programs so I think they do cross reference. It took 2 weeks to sort out. I wouldn't risk it if I was you, just pick which ever one will give you the best results.
