Bid minimum + $1 (yes, $1) and was successful on tonight's MEL-BNE....Mrs Hawk also bid minimum + $1 and was unsuccessful as we're on separate PNR's. Is the protocol to send back a glass of red and crackers?? #askingforafriend 😎

The dividers shouldn't make a difference really. The existing VA cabin dividers took space out that it may not have needed to, whereas the FJ divider could well only be to top of seat height. What they bring to short-haul is that differentiation between J and Y that would cost them very little.

In BNE lounge for the next hour. Can guest 2. Reasonably busy. Fusilli pasta w/sausage or creamy Broccoli penne on offer today

I find that if I make a flight search in the app and then don't proceed I'll get the reminder email, but haven't had a bonus offered before, so it must be a new targeting strategy the Work Experience kids have come up with.

Called Velocity and spoke with offshore. They told me I'd have the statement within 2-3 business days...it was in my inbox within 30 minutes. Current total is sub 7K, so Forever Gold isn't going to be a target for the moment.

Always interested to see how far above minimum for a successful bid.

What was the minimum?

Have had a flight where I was asked to put it up and then have had another (more recently) where it was (rightly) allowed to go under. Considering how tough it is sometimes to get overhead space on some flights, it's helpful to have it available.

That looks like the Korean chicken I had on BNE-MEL on Friday. Chicken was nice (although zero spice) however the broccoli was well overcooked and mushy.

Did anyone happy to get lucky over the past 24-48 hours in this space?

True. For mine this is friend of a friend, so I am trusting that its legit, however (as always) caveat emptor.

Dilemma for the day (as a Swans fan) - take one ticket in a Lions bay (at cost price of $410)....or hang out for the chance that two tickets will come available???

It's a prescribed match by the Vic government, so if you get caught selling for over the face value, there's a fair penalty. Having said that, a lot of people who bought packages are trying to offload for face value now whilst the market is hot with disappointed Swans & Lions fans.

Same here. Flew down from Brisbane to watch the Prelim with Dad and then spent half an hour negotiating with the QANTAS app to grab him an airfare while he drove the M5. So having said that, we both have flights to/from MEL + a hotel, and now just looking for a pair of tickets. I picked up a J...

I was in SYD earlier this month and same thing occurred. Seemed quite deliberate, but as she was so noisy about it, it seemed a bit fake as well. Tough gig to get right, but looks like it's all about recognition.

In BNE for the next 40 minutes, can guest 3. Breakfast on offer is scrambled eggs, sausage, baked beans, and the coffee queue is currently 15+ long 😑

Successful bid of minimum $85 on BNE-SYD for VA908 cleared at T-25. Got the "you have been outbid" email at T-48 but when VA's booking service showed 6 seats available for purchase still, I figured a minimum upgrade would be fine. Have bid minimum on the return (VA957) however as there's only 3...

That's strange, as I've been in the BNE lounge previously when Link flights have been called (although can't recall if they were on the board or not).

BNE lounge for the next 45 minutes. Can guest 3. Scrambled eggs and baked beans on the menu this morning and it's not too busy.

Having just returned from a BNE-YVR and return trip, I can advise that my seats were available on 17/6 for 22/7 outbound & 31/7 return..so 6 weeks in advance. YMMV here, however there's regularly Y availability and hence you could always book THAT in and then wait for a J seat...
