    Jet Hash is this JQ New Name?

    Precisely. Doesn't anyone remember been 21 ? And a joint in someone's bag doesn't affect the good order and security of the plane, unlike some cough in J getting hammered on sauv blanc on a flight to Perth or flying over the Ukraine/Iran/Iraq/Sudan/Georgia at 35,000 feet.

    Spliffs, Splendour and Jetstar

    I don't fly on Jetstar unless I'm down to a choice between it and nothing but kudos to the FA who did the right thing looking after her young PAX ex Splendour at Byron by tipping them off about the sniffer dogs at Sydney domestic. I'm no user but I am free choice and I loathe kids being busted...

    Virgin Lounge Food

    I find the interest in lounge and ob-board food kind of fascinating in an irrelevant sort of way. I don't fly QF or VA or whoever for a feed, I fly them to go somewhere. That's their function. They are not a catering service. Virgin's job is to go up, stay up, and come down in a timely and...

    I was in the BNE lounge earlier tonight and it was very very average

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    That's really interesting cause when I left Perth last night at 5.45pm local time, so 7.45pm Melbourne time, over 2 hours after that flight was meant to leave Melbourne, the arrivals screen in the lounge was showing that flight getting in only 15 minutes late

    I actually quite like the older style lounges like Perth. Unlike the Sydney lounge Perth doesn't look like a plastic surgeon's waiting room To Wetherex posted above .... Pizza gets my vote

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Oh, go on Poochie, have another ham and cheese toastie. When all else fails in the Virgin lounge, have a toastie, even if it's the 789th you've had this year. And if you only spread one sachet of butter on each bread slice, your cholesterol will probably stay static. If you do 1.5 to 2 sachets...

    Sydney Hotels

    I stayed at the Westin the other week. It was excellent Regarding the weak link comment about the Four Seasons. I agree. However, they are discounting and Four Seasons city view rooms are available at the moment for $175 on lastminute. I guess when a so called premium hotel has to discount ....

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Doing PER - ADL on the evening flight next Monday. Saver lite fare was $180 and the upgrade bid is $250. $430 for a 3 hour flight is okay, but it's an Embraer. You reckon they could fill a 737 PER - ADL. Someone should do a spreadsheet of lowest bids on three Y fares on point to point sectors...

    VA MEL ground handling...late night joke

    Poochie, if you have an ABN and are silver, why aren't you doing the pilot gold thing? Then you only need to accrue 80 status credits in 3 months to hold gold for another 12 months

    Hudson's coffee too. Vile. I should write to Toby's Estate suggesting they take over

    quick + cheap earn

    also itunes. I find they credit thru the points fairly quickly

    Think this is the best slot: dinner time in the VA lounge, any of them

    mmmm, maybe they could spring for bacon and egg toasties in the morning

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Re: Upgrade Me Auction worked for me, Aud$350 was debited, and its Business Class her MEL - PER next week. $230 saver lite fare with promo discount + $350 for upgrade me bid. $570 for trans con J class is fair. Sure beats the published rate

    ADL to PER on an Embraer190!!!

    I do the 190 in J class to NTL a bit. It's fine. Same at the 737 product. Small plane, but always a nice ride

    AFF Knowledge Centre general feedback

    Re: “Frugal Premium Cabin Flying” Discussion An interesting read, if only to neatly summarise the mess of various ff programs. I did pick up an interesting tip though. Points on Alaska can be claimed for Oz domestic flights. 40,000 points for a J class return to any point in Australia on...
