    Bonus Upgrade, Points and status credits

    I wouldn't trust a VA computer as far as I could kick it, so just be prepared in case that charge comes through.

    Virgin Happy Hour [Thursdays]

    You need to be fast, only a certain number of seats per flight will have the discounted price. Sometimes "Happy Hour" is for book first, think later trips [e.g. when those domestic J sectors went for $200 in 2012]

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Flew Air North to Toowoomba last week, had two beef lasagnas and several pinots. In economy. $0. Delicious. VA have really dropped the ball. Now let's get back to VA J meals.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    A percentage of crew is just downright lazy or "all talk and no action". They shake your hand and smile when you sit down (creepy) - do the minimum then vanish ASAP for the rest of the flight, only to reappear and shake your hand as you deplane (double creepy). I think "making a moment for each...

    Virgin to cancel flights to Bali and fly tiger air ?

    Garuda? They use a more suitable A330 - so there's more room to walk around for a stretch - and more toilets.

    Wifi in Virgin Lounges

    This. Telstra data is now $10/gig, can't be bothered trying to use free WiFi. By the time someone else messes about trying to get connected, I've already synced email, Dropbox and ready to go.
