I jog every day of the week, and it's no different on a holiday. I always exercise first thing in the morning so it's done, and I can enjoy the rest of my day. It certainly helps with all of the extra calories consumed!

4.78 from 21 trips. Not exactly sure of what I did to warrant anything less than a 5 :lol:

Firstly, this is super generous of you and a great way to share a bit more info about our collective love of flying. I fulfill all three of your entry requirements, and this is actually my 50th post haha. My favourite airline experience is when I was travelling with my family, it was our...

In 2015 my partner and I headed to the US with VA, and we took about 8 flights inter-US on Delta, one on United. All US domestic airfares were booked via Expedia, first class (except a couple of points redemptions). I booked each leg separately and found this to be the best value at the time...

Much like a couple of others here, I don't pay for lounge access specifically. It comes with the airfare that I book, which is usually by way of a points redemption or an upgrade. In some cases, passes via my CC or FF status. I love the lounge. It has nothing to do with feeling like others are...

I don't recall the last time I was offered a tablet in VA domestic J. It was probably December 2015 if I had to pick. I do have my iphone and an external battery pack which suits me fine for short hops to access the wifi entertainment, though I would still expect they should offer something...

Breakfast SYD to OOL VA515 10:10am departure 19/5 was a tasty toasted sandwich with egg, bacon etc. Quite enjoyed it. Not sure why, but two rolls were served on my side plate with no actual bread basket service. Didn't eat the rolls as it seemed superfluous. Ah, the photo appears upside down...

Received the email this evening to great amusement. Many thanks for the several thousand velocity points :-)

I have to tell you, I wasn't complaining *yum*

The 737 J seat is certainly basic, but I would opt for it over Y, especially for 10k points as an upgrade cost. It's a lengthy enough flight to warrant the upgrade for the extra room and improved catering. The only things missing in VA 737 J (IMO) are seat-back IFE and some kind of leg...

Breakfast service VA916 SYD to BNE Sunday 14 May. Only pax in J and after a big weekend, I found the heavy'ish meal to be completely delicious. Tortilla wrap, filled with scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese, topped with salsa. I enjoyed it almost too much :-|

I had started filling up at BP as a result of the partnership with Velocity. There are a couple located close to my business that are generally well priced, so it wasn't any effort to collect a few extra points. Disappointed that this is coming to an end, though it's an easy fix with a switch...

Shameful behaviour against anyone, whatever their beliefs/position.

Makes mental note to avoid morning flights.

Small? No. Smaller, like I said, yes. Compared to Princess/RCI/Celebrity/HAL especially. By all means, OP may want smaller than that and your suggestions are good if that's the case.

Check out Azamara Cruises. They just announced their first ever Alaskan itineraries. Sailing in 2019, however. They are smaller, more inclusive ships with passenger numbers of about 700.

Love Instagram - try to share travel and general life photos pretty regularly. Mine is https://www.instagram.com/adgetazza7

Only if you're Yassmin Abdel-Magied.

I partook in the Velocity membership drive promotion, with the offer of 5000 points per sign up. I had 10 sign ups and accrual of points on each new account as per the T&Cs but only ever received one lot of 5000 points. I contacted Velocity through the missing points form, and later received the...

I was looking at the 4 GranCoupe but couldn't resolve the rear 3/4 styling in my mind so stuck with the sedan. I think it'll be good to change it up and get something different. The Merc C Class coupe certainly looks good! Not that my opinion matters at all but I would also go the C over the TTS.
