    Optus Outage - How is it affecting you?

    This is the last straw for me, the arrogance for them to hit me with an invalid late payment fee when they won't reimburse my phone bill for a service they can't provide

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Virgin Australia Boeing 737 Max 8

    Is this the first livery paint job we've seen since the logo rebrand? I guess this confirms they won't be adopting the inverted colourway on the tail.

    What cheeses me off

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    This is a significant weakening of the lounge proposition whether it affects you or not. This is a benefit is paid for through loyalty or your QC membership fee, if lounge overcrowding is the problem, that's QFs problem to solve. Blaming customers for lounge yield mismanagement is the weakest...
