    VA to HKG from Jul 5 2017, ex MEL

    would have preferred if they had 2 red-eyes but I guess it isn't efficient unless they fly twice daily. Both my HKG bookings are on the 1230am flight

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    The only reason I knew about 86 being delayed was because I saw this post on fb In J On va86 tonight Hong Kong to Melbourne tonight and Virgin have taken the decision to delay the departure by 2 and a half hours as there is a threat of fog at Melbourne in the morning. Very disappointed as Iv...

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    I think 86 was a delayed departure due to expected fog this morning. Maybe the VA800s were cancelled due to fog as well

    Moving to Hong Kong - where to live?!

    I highly recommend Pokfulam too. I grew up on the Southern side of HK Island and you really do still get a little more peace and quiet. But apartments in Pokfulam are expensive and generally on the larger side so I'm not too sure about finding a place for under $20k/Month. I'd look at South...

    Moving to Hong Kong - where to live?!

    Do you have a budget in mind? To give you a start, a decent sized apartment somewhere Hong Kong Island (by HK standards, 800-1000sqft) will set you back ~$30k HKD / month). Do you want to live near your office, on the outlying islands and take a 45min ferry, in the New Territories and take a...

    Velocity WP - Op-up with SQ

    SQ does not do upgrades unless it is absolutely necessary op-up (Overbooked Y/W/J cabin). My aunt is a Solitaire Life PPS, as far back as I can remember, she has only been bumped up from J to R once and this was an actual op-up due to an overbooked flight. I'd say your chances of winning...

    Hong Kong if you want to see the Hong Kong on Tourism Ads, see the newest and nicest shopping malls, great restaurants and pubs. It is the "nicer and wealthier" part of the city Kowloon if you want to experience what most of the population live in, eat street food or local cuisine, shop in...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    I came from that page? So which of those fees are related to using a prepaid credit card? 0.15% or 0.4/58%?

    MH CEO comments - aircraft acquisitions, bundled fares & other topics

    wasn't it confirmed that they are giving them back and have no plans to continue using them? They never had the yield for an A380 KUL-LHR anyway, only had them because their neighboring competitors had them and didn't want to lose out.

    Award for Alan Joyce

    While he was lucky in many ways to bring QF back in the black. You can't deny him the successful strategy for partnering with EK to effectively bring the kangaroo route to the entire Europe and Africa with 1 hop. I think this helped QF survive the intense competition on that route from Asian and...

    VA to HKG from Jul 5 2017, ex MEL

    Finally managed to fit a MEL-HKG run in Sep. Can't walk away from a $450 ticket. Plane is empty. I have not been in the VA A330 in Y before. How is the legroom in Row 10? Is this the case of 737 Row 1 in J with little legroom or is it better than that? Do the standard Y seats have some sort of...
