Scones in the Perth lounge 😋

Remember that in Asia-Pacific, Platinum members already get free breakfast in almost all hotels anyway (any day of the week), so even less to differentiate the Diamond level (not that I'm even close to getting Platinum myself at the moment). See the second tab of this page: List of hotels with...

Currently aboard VH-XFE, and surprised to see it now has in-flight internet access! I don't think I've seen this commented on before, so sorry if it's a duplication.

Yep that's right, and a couple of others have already mentioned this above too. Poor terminology/description on my part in my original post, sorry! (and I can't edit it any more). I meant to describe how "regular" seats previously unavailable to those without status were (or still are?) able to...

I noticed today when checking a seat map that all seats (apart from Economy X) now seem to be available for selection even when not logged in to my Velocity account. I'm guessing this is probably a temporary tech blip, but I guess VA could have just abandoned blocking the forward seats for...

Breakfast PER-DRW at the end of May: Lunch DRW-PER in first week of June:

Yep - I think this is the best option for searching yourself for T availability. I made a gif a while back over on the ANZ thread to show where to type this rule: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/anz-rewards-travel-adventure-card.81066/post-1882890

And yes, at this point in the meal the cabin crew were topping up Champagne from the caviar course, white wine from the soup pairing, and now also red with the lamb. I'm a bit embarrassed about the number of glasses in that photo!

Roast rack of lamb was very tasty last year out of Sydney.

As a Perth resident It's such a shame to see VA cutting services (whilst understandable), especially after aquiring SkyWest. It wasn't too long ago they flew Albany/Esperance, and internationally to Bali and Thailand (and for a very short period Johannesburg, and that planned A330 route to AUH)...

Quite a tasty breakfast on offer in Perth this morning.

In addition to hype, they've also become better at hiding bad news. The old Velocity site used to have a fairly prominent link to "Program Updates" in the main navigation, and I have been unable to find it on the new website... until today! In the footer, the "Media centre" link (which looks...

I also use it for airfares - and, unlike hotels, you also earn loyalty points when booking through a third party site. Just make sure it's for a flight that you won't need to change, as the additional agent charges are a downside.

There seems to be a problem with some old link redirections which can be frustrating for users clicking old links or bookmarks (and which you also probably want to maintain and keep the SEO value of those links). When visiting my bookmarked link...

I guess this must still be a fairly frequent occurrence? I noticed two days ago (whilst checking a booking for later in April) that both my outbound/inbound PER-MEL flights in August which I had selected during the double status credits offer and upgraded to business using points have been...

Well it is food related!

Hawaiian Airlines and Virgin Australia expand codeshare agreement Hopefully this might now mean lounge access for those VA members on this route too!

Mine says "when you spend $700 or more" - they can get stuffed! :p

I believe the ability to see availability for more than one day at a time is supposed to be happening. Through the Velocity app it's now possible to see availability for a few days - and that's an embedded webpage, so hopefully will make its way to the main website soon.
