If the VA flight is $5 cheaper you could just drop by Woolworths beforehand and buy yourself a whole box of "Brekkie Slices"!

It's why I don't have much sympathy for the airlines having a crack down on carry-on bags. This is a self made mess. If it wasn't for the airlines penny-pinching (both charging for the bags and cutting costs for baggage handling) then they wouldn't have to worry about the cost of delayed flights...

I did see Virgin doing some spot checks at SYD last week for the flight I was on, prior to boarding starting. But again, just weighing the bags, not checking the dimensions or even if the passenger has several of them and no scrutiny of the personal item. I reckon for most flights you'd be fine...

That is... very odd.

It's quite possible that there's no breach or mistake been made anywhere and that this is the result of a BIN attack. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-14/cybercriminals-stealing-credit-card-number-bin-attack-scam/103223086 Ultimately the retailers, networks and banks could work together to...

Tried just now, no issues at all.

Are you talking about the passengers or the baggage handlers?

I was in the MEL lounge yesterday evening and noticed the same, there were a few staff there bustling around with trolleys, collecting up cups and plates and wiping down tables.

There's a lively thread about this on Whirlpool. Seems to be about 2 months at the moment. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9l10x4y2?p=41

I've found it often just leads to an error page, it's not the most reliable...

I've only stayed here once, but a similar experience to others here, very positive and excellent status recognition. It's just so very handy if you're arriving late or departing early. Just a few minutes walk from the terminal through an air-conditioned walkway. I hope they keep the 24-hour...

I was in Hanoi over the break and there was a bit of this as well. However, pretty much all the tourist sites and areas had plenty of free toilets available.

When you do the search you'll know it's an IAP fare because it will have a dark blue banner across the top in the results. Here's an example.

To describe this new charter as the "bare minimum" is almost overstating what's in it. There's nothing new here, just a restatement of obligations that the airlines already have that they've been shirking. We need proper reform and a proper customer compensation scheme like the USA, Canada, EU...

The paradox is that no matter what Qantas does, no matter how badly it treats its customer, they always seem to keep coming back for more. I'd expect whatever changes they make will be even more dramatic than the changes Virgin has made, because they know they can get away with it.

Think you could be waiting a while, how long have we been waiting for Qantas to get it together and let us use a proper password? On the plus side, the Virgin and Velocity apps have never shown me someone else's boarding pass...
