In Adelaide lounge. Is mini sausage rolls, cold bread rolls and pumpkin soup the standard dinner meal for virgin lounges? I am sure Brisbane a couple weeks back had some chicken dish or something with substance. Hopefully the food on board is better...

Getting cars turned to cough real quick didn't it? I was still getting a hire car maybe 50% of the time but just whatever was cheap and easy on the day until Covid, then couldn't get a thing so haven't even looked really in over a year. I'll see what they come back with for dummy bookings, I was...

So it's been a while since I have had to do the rental car thing, I used to have Hertz platinum or whatever it was (the top level) years ago which was generally good and would get upgrades and free hires a bit. I have mostly been using uber and taxis for business trips in the last 5-6 years so...

Is there an easier way to see reward flight availability than the Virgin way of showing flight options that is extremely frustrating and not user friendly? I am looking at a weekend from ADL-BNE from 17-20 June. Qantas you select your dates and can see what is available, cost (points/dollars)...

I am also gold with virgin and I am pretty sure they call flights, and at the very least the staff can check delays etc. for you and the boards in the lounges are correct.

This is a rant... So here I am sitting in the Qantas lounge and they tell me that they don't get calls for Jetstar flights. The monitors also won't be updated if there are delays. The computer in front of them tells them there is a delay but it might not be correct either. Every other city I...

I am taking my kids away for the first time since Covid and we are flying out on Christmas day from Adelaide. Does Qantas usually do anything in the lounge ke on board? We will be ok the lounge at lunch time so hopefully there is some food the kids will eat as I doubt much else will be open!

Virgin is definitely closed out of OOL. Couldn't even find a human at the check in zone! Ghost town...

I have been gold since mid June due to discover gold. Flown a couple of times. Have had no letter or welcome pack. Flown a couple of times, lounge in Brisbane was the same as lat time I flew through there 6yrs ago with less food and drink options, Gold Coast wasn't even open. Honestly apart from...

I am travelling remotely through QLD next week and flying out Saturday. It was supposed to be in the afternoon which gave me time to shower somewhere on the way back to the airport but offcourse lockdowns and QF cancels all their flights again so now it is earlier in the morning and I am gonna...

I have to take a bag that is total dimensions 247cm but under 23kgs, on Qantas I would just chuck it in oversized. I assume virgin is the same without any fees?

I had hertz platinum a while back and ended up getting upgrades every time and lots of points for free hire. But that was 10 years ago. I hope they are still as good.

So what is the best car company to get status with? Hertz or Europcar?

My review date is today. Just says "Great work, you will maintain gold status!" I assume I will get a welcome pack eventually and a new card. 1622780323 How many of you are likely to move your main flying to Virgin from Qantas now you have Gold/Platinum on both?

I flew today, booked yesterday. Only saw this at the airport when I was getting my card up. Probably missed out on it for this flight but will be useful tomorrow when I book to get home.

Coming from Qantas I am used to status and points being credited basically when you land. How long does virgin take? I'm not in a massive rush but I do want to book some rewards seats that I need some flights credited for at some point!

Thai beef salad was good in Adelaide, extremely avg. in Brisbane this week. In fact everything in Brisbane was average at best.

So I did the discover gold status match coming from Qantas. I know things are a bit different now with how things are running with Covid but I just wanted to add my perspective and get feedback from others if I am just being biased or things are usually different. Check-in - About the same but...

I have applied for this offer but only because it won't cost me anything and I have previously taken a few flights a year on Virgin. Not sure if I really want to fly Virgin enough to get the 80sc though to retain the gold in 3 months. I will see how things pan out come January. If this travel...

Spoke to soon. Now in the Adelaide lounge. Opened at 3pm. Flight is at 4:05. No beer on tap. Basic food. Full table service. Nothing to complain about.
