    The Best and worst Places you've been to?

    Worst: Venice... boring for anyone under 30. Best: Cordoba or Bergamo. Both underrated cities with great history and architecture. Love the Muslim influence on Cordoba.

    Amex Plat Edge flight 'Not Valid For Earn'

    Made a booking this week using my free return flight with Amex. Cancelled the next day. Had $306 credit shell (after the $80 fee) and used it directly with Virgin to book new flights with different dates, times and destinations. Considering the annual fee was $350 this makes it a pretty sweet...

    Virgin and Velocity websites - enough is enough

    To be fair, given Virgin didn't spend $5 million on a new song by an out-dated artist and a poorly filmed ad campaign, they could probably throw some dollars at their web design team.

    No show on the second leg of a return trip? (ie cheap one way?)

    Might not get points/SC for it, but it's not like they are going to hunt you down with a SWAT team.

    Pricing, it's happened.

    Funny analogy given the price premium of Apple products to Microsoft, which the 'general public' are willing to pay.

    Status matching by Virgin Australia

    True, but I think it is indicative of many people's opinions of status matching compared to BIS status.

    Pricing, it's happened.

    Except that with Yield Management, higher prices normally mean they have sold enough tickets of the lower fare buckets. If Qantas is 50% cheaper, then they have more than likely been left with too much capacity. An extreme example would be claiming that Virgin are crazy because tickets are...

    Pricing, it's happened.

    I have noticed an increase in prices, however I am sure shareholders would rather Virgin sell tickets for the price they have calculated to give a profitable return than get involved with price wars with a dying competitor.
