    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    The earnings were numbered for a while with the Alaskan involvement with Hawaiian. Also they basically offered nothing in terms of priority boarding or lounge access. I guess they will probably align more to QF.

    Melbourne SkyBus gone up again

    I believe it's a contract between the Victorian Govt and Arnold Bloch Leibler who acted in the negotiation on behalf of Skybus. I suggest yes..exclusive rights.although for how long I'm not sure.

    Melbourne SkyBus gone up again

    Most airports in Europe are privatised. It's competitive practices that helps to keep some with lower prices.

    Melbourne SkyBus gone up again

    Competition is the key but say at MEL point to point with bags is really what people want. I think Skybus works reasonably well. Quickish and convenient but I see it's prices have risen again. Now a competitive company doing the same run would make a big difference.

    Triple Velocity points to Tasmania (book by 9/3/25)

    I should think so....I was looking at this ex PER. Prices quite expensive still but triple.points is a good return (on a choice fare).

    Qantas cabin refresh for 42 Boeing 737s from 2027

    Are we sure as yet that they won't just add an extra row in Y? It is after all what "we all want" isn't it....I'm sure they will tell us that sometimes. Still.mystified that they think on 24 year old aircraft in some cases it's worth all this refurb. It's certainly not for pax comfort.

    Which is the best airline to fly from Australia to Bali?

    Seen some reports eventually that CitiLink cancelled all flights in Feb and also for March to Bali from Perth! This seems to have been kept quiet .....?

    Hertz Pick Up at LHR - Beware [Forced an Unsuitable Vehicle for Planned travel]

    There is no reason why you should not receive a petrol car if ordered. The UK is not all electric for.hired cars...far from it...still well in the minority.

    Hertz Pick Up at LHR - Beware [Forced an Unsuitable Vehicle for Planned travel]

    Well maybe they can be car parks but then again think about the actual number.of cars on the road compared to Australia. I can hardly believe it until I saw that that only Australia can you have 6 cars on the road and a traffic jam. No lane discipline and generally poor driving. If the UK...

    Chinese warship live-fire exercise discovered by Virgin Australia pilot, Air safety body says

    Having looked at the organisation chart of the Australian Defence it looks like it could be doing with some streamlining and thus likely better comms between all. 🤭

    Chinese warship live-fire exercise discovered by Virgin Australia pilot, Air safety body says

    I think the point in question is did they know prior to the commencement of live drills? If they did you would think they would say so and as they have said they did not know...well then if they did...why say they didn't to the Australian public? In terms of did they know they were there? ..well...

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    Blast. I missed that and had to settle with 4 percent cashback ..still happy I bought in the "current" Virgin sale PER-MEL-PER with choice fare for tennis AO26 for a bit over 500 dollars return. Nothing like forward planning....😂🤭

    Chinese warship live-fire exercise discovered by Virgin Australia pilot, Air safety body says

    Yet Australia really continues to "ignore" the dangers of China. How many Chinese airlines are allowed to fly into Sydney these days? Well done VA crew for their own actions on helping the defence force! 🤭
