much quicker now. Next business day. There is no pattern to this though.

I was watching this video https://youtu.be/dGXahSnA_oA about flight scheduling and the part of about N.America to S.America applies to Australia/Asia as well My only frustration with the new schedule is that I have always picked the days when VA89 was running, not keen on wasting a day on the...

yes, last 3 rows A/C & H/K on either side with curtains

I love travelling Solo. Regardless if it is mix work or purely for leisure. A little explanation of your list would be nice. I have only ever travelled to LAX solo as it is always for work and I spend the weekend + 1 day there. LAX solo can be lonely, everything is so spread out (unless you are...

Yes. The new Hong Kong airlines lounge is now in the Mid-field concourse, Gates starting with 200-220 I believe, this is where VA has departed from the last 3 times I flew. The old one was in a really awkward position between immigration and the midfield concourse. From the looks of it, I...

New lounge is up and running and in the 200s terminal. Nice views of the Tarmac, I'd say similar to CX J, just a little smaller.

Of my 3 flights so far, 2 have been good and they seem to work well with the crew. Just don't expect VA friendliness from them, more like CX crew. Did you want to know anything specifically?

The problem with doing this is it then becomes an expectation, this would also mean there is less chance of other SG pax paying for it. You might not be inclined to pay but a tall SG might, it sucks but all of us here need VA to be profitable, (inc loyal QF flyers). If the flight and all non X...

777. Just keep in mind you might get an old config 77W, shouldn't matter much as they schedule them in redeyes. One of the few carriers left with 3-3-3 config, enjoy it while you can. Apparently SQ has no plans to change but you never know.

No. I got there at 930 and all counters were open, about 20-30 at the normal queue and none at priority.

That is a long and skinny route though. Not quite 777/a350UULR routes. Maybe 787ULR but in a generation, it could change

Are trying to get to the EY lounge before the EY flight leaves? If so, I was there after the EY flight left and there were 3 hot food choices, couple of snacks and the full bar.

I don't see that happening. Qantas isn't a huge customer for either company, the current range of ULR jets are satisfactory for the ME3 and Asian airlines. Plus, I would guess that the ME3 (Particularly EK) will be using the A380 order numbers as a negotiating tool to convince them it isn't a...

Re: Posting of points My VA HKG flight on 17/8 has not been posted. Retro claim submitted. The last time they appeared without a retro claim within 3 days was back in June...

My return flight back on Sat night was much better. Ground staff still a little green, she wasn't sure if a WP was supposed to get lounge access and had to check. Surely I was not the only WP/SG in Y on that flight. No issues with PB I had the same crew again. Was told the senior crew came from...

Finally got a chance to fly VA MEL-HKG. I might be unlucky but I did not feel like I was on a VA flight. The crew were really "unpolished". Announcements were really poorly read, crew just seemed disorientated and cold compared to VA Dom/lax crew i have 3 more VA HKG flights this month so maybe...

Next time order SELECT. You still pay less or the same as a yellow taxi. I've been using that and I get a combination of VHA Caprice/E Class, Q5/7's. Definitely not Utes or microboxes.

Nocookies | The Australian Next Monday I believe.

They seem to think the protest at the Airport in Adelaide was an amazing success. They managed to delay the UberX launch by 1 week......

Straight into my Amex card. I'm not sure how the points would have calculated though? I know I would have got $50 for my efforts but I don't think I got the points as Amex would credit the points on the refund?
