At Sydney I generally find Ubers and Taxis very hit and miss so I just grab the train into the CBD as I find it's more consistent. Wait times have always been massive when I arrive.

Thanks, I was wondering where it was coming from. Normally I'd take this as an opportunity for an easy upgrade to a lie-flat - but having not flown any PE before I'm keen to try that, which will be like a free 737 upgrade minus catering anyway.

It's not even the earliest - there's one at 5am. Will be better when daylight savings is over.

It looks like QF503 BNE to SYD will be serviced by a 787-9 Monday week. Not sure if this is a common occurrence but as far as wide bodies go I've only ever seen the odd A330 on this route. Looking forward to trying PE for the first time though!

@twinaisle really enjoys hearing these experiences 🤣

Don't give them ideas.. "Rear lavatories can only be used after a purchase from the in-flight menu"

The devaluation is a shame, but happy there's no changes to status earn. It's another good reminder that hoarding points always carries risk.

The chicken miso was pretty good last night. There was also Penfolds X Thienot Champagne Brut Rosé available which was very nice!

Great, my highest priority is being able to get on a plane that day - the second is not spending an absolute fortune on a last minute whY fare (there's $330 J fares at the moment MEL>BNE). Refund to CC will be much preferred over travel bank.

Is anyone familiar with how late you can cancel a domestic business flight on VA? From what I've read it seems like up until departure is okay. I need to travel late in my wife's pregnancy and was planning on booking the last J flight for a couple of nights but would most likely cancel them...

I prefer to sit forward as there's less engine noise, and I prefer seeing less people in front of me as it feels more private and quiet (even though it's not).

We're planning a very similar itinerary for Nov-Dec this year. QF1 to Singapore, 2 nights in Singapore then on to Helsinki. Coming back we'll be overnight in Singapore before taking a flight the next day direct back to Brisbane. All one way CR flights.

After reading through a lot of the P1 experiences thread I can't personally see the value in going out of one's way to attain it.

24 Dec 2025 - SIN to BNE I9 denied for 2 pax. Might be too early so will try in a couple weeks again if loading stays light.

I would have a look through Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

The way you phrased this answers my question 😊 thanks!

Does anyone know if it's possible to request a release as WP with a non-family member travelling with the WP on the same booking? I know that it's clear that WP can only request on behalf of family if the WP is not travelling.

I always wondered if fare basis was taken into account - makes total sense that a full J or really any cash fare should trump an upgrade.

You would think being WP in 1A you'd be near guaranteed to be served first 😂

In my experience across 26 J sectors this year pretty evenly split between QF and VA, I've found QF to be far more consistent in how meal selection and the general formalities are delivered. VA has been 50:50 between seat position and status for ordering, with the presenting thing an outlier. I...
