    I hate the coffee ordering kiosk in the VA Brisbane lounge

    Admittedly when they initially had two self-serve kiosks running this was much quicker than the current situation of only one kiosk working. Having said that, this beats the hell out of the prior AM peak hour shermozzle of two people working the coffee machines and one of them stopping every 4-5...

    Not even. I've had better mac and cheese out of a packet. Yes, there will be a feedback email going in.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Mrs Hawk and I did BNE-SYD yesterday mid-afternoon (1535 departure). PDB's of OJ and still water were there pre-prepped on the tray. We were on one of the ex-Silk Air birds, so no divider however our CM was quite vigilant in firmly turning back the 2 or 3 who tried to use the J lav. Meal offer...

    Fair enough. For a while there I thought it had gone back to 1AC-1DF-2AC-2DF, however 🤷‍♂️ Having said that, Mrs Hawk and I are doing BNE-SYD tomorrow in J, so let's see how it goes.

    It all comes back to staffing. If the lounge isn't staffed appropriately and managed (as well) then things like this don't get done. Keep sending feedback people.

    Brisbane Premium Lounge Entry

    Whilst YMMV, my recent experience with the Premium queue at VA has been excellent. Rarely more than 7 or 8 in it, which MAY be because the Premium sign is stashed to the wall side and the "Assistance" sign is much more prominent. 😎 Unfortunately the Premium Lounge entry has been shut outside of...

    Cancellation fee for duplicate flight booking

    Still better than REX'S denial (admittedly many years ago) to refund ANY of my incorrectly booked SYD-ABX when I meant to book ABX-SYD 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Agreed, VA should be better. By contrast, Mrs Hawk and I went BNE-SYD & return last weekend in J - both without a divider - and not a single invader (for want of a better word) from Y. As always, YMMV. 🤷‍♂️

    Virgin Australia to lease more 737s

    I had a TSV-CNS booked for early 2014 on an ATR however the route got canned and they tried to re-route me TSV-BNE-CNS. QF runs 5-6 services a day, which also link into their milk run (CNS-TSV-MKY-ROK) as well as to Horn Island and ISA. Whilst it might be nice in theory, I doubt VA could make...

    Virgin 737-8 Max Business Class - No Divider

    Onboard VH-IWX and we have old layout, but no divider between rows 2 and 3. Makes for a LOT of legroom in row 3 today 😎

    Admittedly I'm not a fan of eggs either, however with a pinch of salt these were okay. Also noting that the bacon, beans and rosti were all (relatively) separate to the eggs on the plate too :) I'm surprised with the current cost of eggs that alternative breakfast options aren't more prevalent...

    Yesterday morning on my BNE-SYD we had a Byron Bay cookie pair supplied on the side with breakfast...forgetful me didn't snaffle them and they went back to the galley unopened 😪 Breakfast options were either Bacon, scrambled eggs, beans and rosti (which was delicious even if the eggs were a...

    It's all good, I had to drive home from the airport last night. More a comment in this case than anything.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    On a delayed MEL-BNE last night (353) - scheduled 20:50 departure pushed back to 21:55, which ended up being 22:18 push back and 22:48 wheels up...courtesy of some Melbourne fog rolling in as well. We were on VH-VUQ, so new layout, no divider or "magic rope", however didn't have any invasions...
