    OOL Lounge

    Was passing through OOL earlier this week and grabbed some pics, but not as nice as the most recent ones found here (no curtain up as at Tuesday arvo, but is up now)

    The DJ Op UP Thread.

    Mate, I can tell you the craft down BNK->SYD was an all economy old school bird, 3 aside (didn't take notice of what kind of craft it was, my bad) and the one back SYD->BNK was a 737 something that had the business class seats fitted. Sorry, I took notice of what type of 737 it was, but have...

    I expect there will be a couple of people attending who can guest you in, but I will certainly cover you if no one else can.

    Gentlemen, 1400hrs on Saturday the 2nd of June at the "OOLounge". I will see you there. Should I (or someone else) kick off a new thread for this??

    Nice trip reports, lovestotravel. (almost said mr). Sounds like the J is a work in progress still, but heading in the right direction and making genuine progress.

    Thanks for the onsite updates, lovestotravel. I appreciate the effort (I'm sure a lot of people do, but few than write thanks, so here's mine). I shall follow suit next Monday.

    What are Velocity "base" points ?

    At the moment, for my booking booked and ticketed through VA from BNE to CDG via SYD and AUH, the base points are calculating as you would predict (the rate for the relevant class multiplied by the miles travelled), but the BONUS appears to be calculated on not the "Base" points, but as a...

    OOL Lounge

    As a matter of due course, I'll get a couple of iPhone photos of the WIP Monday week (the 21st) on the anticipation that it will still be WIP at that point. Does anyone going there before then feel like taking some pics for us??

    Delta Lounge T5 LAX for Plat on VA

    Indeed, Fruitcake, I was aware of VA's "lounge" facilities in LAX T3, how they are occupying the space left by the Alaska Airlines boardroom now they've moved on, but like you, and others, find it pretty underwhelming. The shower situation would be the biggest bugbear, limited booze (both in the...

    Delta Lounge T5 LAX for Plat on VA

    If flying with VX, into T3, it is a long walk to T5 for lounge access, something like 15 or 20mins. I've sprinted it in 4 mins a few times after a debacle with luggage not coming off a DL flight on the plane we flew from LAS->LAX and managing trying to check into a VX flight. Not a pleasant...

    Virgin Status issue

    Working as intended and a better system than the alternative, imho, otherwise indirect flights would possibly be even more expensive as they would have to factor in the value of the additional status credits. You might find the calculator here useful for pre-calculating or checking SC award...
