    E190 J class conversions start

    Maybe if they removed 3C, that would alleviate some of the above mentioned issues. 3A would be a great seat on a full plan in that case. Suppose then again, the issues would be inherited by 4C if that were to happen, but at least it would make more room for the rubbish cart. Speaking of sick...

    Runways at SYD

    Hi folks, I'm just wondering is anyone here knows how they decide which flights use what runways at SYD airport? I fly with DJ all the time to and from BNE, and it always seems to be the far runway with the longest taxi. Who gets to use the nearer runways? Is there some sort of pecking order...

    Bonus Confirmed Complimentary Upgrade

    Don't be complaining about that! Happened me a few times when I upgraded using points. They upgrade me, and then forget to take the points off me. One time they just took the points for one sector of a return trip. It was a half points promotion too, so it worked out at quarter points. SYD >...

    Guess I took the wrong turn at the top of the escalator when leaving the train station..

    Window Blinds on Transcon Flights

    Easy on there.. the truth is that the manifest shows everyone's preference to a dark cabin not, as well as status and ipad ownership of each passenger. Ipad ownership takes precedence over WP.

    Why can't I get row 3 anymore?

    Booked a flight 3 hours ago for Friday frmo SYD to BNE, flexi as Gold FF, and they allocated me 9C. First non row 3 seat for a while. Just went in again to look at it, and I saw that 3D was freed up since the booking. Pounce on it I did! :D Now to see if I can get a chance to change my Sunday...

    Window Blinds on Transcon Flights

    I did have issue with glare once on XFD on the K side flying from SYS to PER, thinking I should have sat on the other side.. If that was the issue, you would think that they would do the same in the back of the plane. XFA and XFB have the cameras on the IFE, but I haven't noticed if the other...

    Window Blinds on Transcon Flights

    This is exactly my view on it. Nothing to do with ownership of windows or any of that lark. Just don't want a dark cabin in the middle of a lovely day. To me the flight just isn't long enough to justify preparing the whole cabin for sleeping anyway.

    Window Blinds on Transcon Flights

    Yep, same issue is still here. As well as the handset being taped onto the holder with duct tape. That happened me last week, 8th Oct. I'll actually drop them a message now to advise them of the problem. I'm sure the more people tell them, the quicker they would address it.

    Window Blinds on Transcon Flights

    That thought did cross my mind.. Had I known they were going to do that, I would have moved from 1A to 1C due to the ongoing IFE issue on that seat!

    Window Blinds on Transcon Flights

    Hi folks, I'm not sure if this was discussed anywhere before, but thought I'd just mention it here because it relates to a Virgin Australia flight from PER to SYD. Recently I was sitting in J on VH-XFE on a 10:15am flight, arriving in Sydney at 17:30, so it was a daytime fight. We had a good...

    Changing a flight booking on SQ

    Just a quick update here. I spoke with the SQ call centre, and the flight was changed no problems and at no extra cost. They even checked with the airport staff to verify my baggage allowance, and advised me that I'm allowed an extra 20kg over and above the ticketed 30kg because of my Velocity...
