    Don't transfer points (Velocity Email)

    Nice bonus. I would have been in the same boat and needed >10 years to transfer all my points in my balance, not to mention all the points coming in, Instead I've been using FB points to buy Y tickets as I figured I'd never be able to transfer them quick enough. Hindsight's a b**** I'm still...

    Let's talk about Economy X

    I'm assuming you're a SG. I don't know of any WP who has complained about YX. I never sat in Row 3 as a WP due to narrower seats and I have a DIY phone holder to watch movies without neck pain. YX was a huge plus to me. It is even better now in Row 4. I sit in Window now as it is less...

    Don't transfer points (Velocity Email)

    Must be a long time ago as I don't remember that. But if it was the same deal, 30% bonus here I come :)

    CBA better be on this time. Whole pile waiting to be transferred.

    Don't transfer points (Velocity Email)

    Looks like VA is having a massive promo on the 1st May. Just got an Email. Supposed to be "record breaking deal". I am guessing better than the standard 15% bonus they offer throughout the year. For a company not doing that well, I'm surprised they want a massive liability on their balance...

    First Trip to Hong Kong aboard VA J class

    Loved reading this TR. Showcases why I like flying VA so much (and sometimes go out of the way to fly VA). I guess growing up in Hong Kong meant that I never noticed these things (ie. the smell) you've mentioned but always nice to read from another perspective.

    Change to SQ Earn Rates

    points adjustment received :). Would have been nice to get an Email to say it was done.

    Change to SQ Earn Rates

    Got an update via phone call after another Email (finally). Person on the phone confirmed they will honour my old rates. They need more time as SQ had to credit it and they are working with them. Ps. My flight in question was in between the 6th March. YMMV especially on those that took flights...

    Qantas has filed Johannesberg – Perth flights from December 7th 2018

    IIRC, VA had to make a 1 hour detour when they used the 773

    How low can Etihad go ?

    The 5 773's barely cover the 3 routes that they run. They did think about using A332's but changed their mind.

    No phone boarding passes?

    Don't think it is CASA. VA just requires phone BP

    380, is the end near

    Looks like one of them (again, everyone talks about A380 to drum up press coverage so I will only believe when it flies). I suspect it will be SKB/C/D. SKA already had its engines removed and sold? I believe

    Change to SQ Earn Rates

    I can't understand why they can't compromise and credit SC's and not points then. I am a WP and my renewal is up end of may. I needed the last 30 SC's missing to maintain WP and I am sure as hell not giving VA extra revenue by doing a Status run because of this. I am not on my fifth Email all a...

    What's your Uber experience?

    I wonder how that will be profitable without gov subsidy outside of morning and evening peak. Even filling 13 seats at $5 is barely profitable if the entire trip takes an hour inc picking up and dropping off all pax

    What's your Uber experience?

    You will eventually find a driver. However, it may not always be the closest driver and you will have a longer wait time. The Mrs has a rating of 4.1 and never gets the closest car. So the App will quote 3 mins but the car that gets the job is 12 mins away. This is because every driver between...

    Sydney Airport Domestic Pickup

    My car has been fined for picking up at Drop off zone. Came in the mail. Somehow I think they share the details as the car which was fined had VIC plates.

    Madness: Last QF9 A380, First QF10 B787

    IIRC, QF did invent the PE Class

    Madness: Last QF9 A380, First QF10 B787

    The specs on that seat did show it was going to be narrow. But not that narrow. I can understand QF's logic behind this. Of all the specs on a seat, pitch is always the one that is used and most "marketable". If they had a smaller pitch and wider seats, they couldn't shout about it as much as...

    Madness: Last QF9 A380, First QF10 B787

    Anyone notice how narrow that seat is? He isn't a big guy but if it weren't for the girl in the middle leaning against her boyfriend. They would be rubbing shoulders.

    Non-ATO government spend

    I was trying to work out why Coles CC didn't pay out points on my recent AusPost payment. ~$100 in cc fees down the drain....... Thanks for the heads up
