You are welcome. Hoping you enjoy the food! It was crumbly but not overly so on my flight on the 20th.

Just returned on Saturday from LAX. Not actually sure what champagne was being served but I know I enjoyed a couple of glasses. I had enjoyed a few too many Margaritas in the Star Alliance lounge prior to the flight :D The food was quite delicious. I opted for the jamon starter and the lamb...

Hi everyone. Currently in San Francisco. Just wanted to come back and let you know that the check in agent in Sydney was able to tag my bags straight through to SFO and also printed my boarding passes for the next flight segment. It all worked brilliantly and helped the relaxation factor (if...

For me, the lead up and planning for the trip is almost as exciting as going to the airport and getting on the plane. I always get heavily into the research and reading and itinerary reading for my trips away. My partner and I are starting a business and so have decided to take a trip before...

I am also interested in this information if you wouldn't mind sending me the driver details you have? I will be arriving (also from Buffalo) into JFK on August 12th. Thanks so much. I googled Dial7 out of curiosity but the reviews were very, very mixed. I would still have booked it based on...

Terrific. Thanks for posting. I'll definitely ask when I check in at Sydney airport. It'll be a help if it can be done but won't be the end of the world if not. Thanks again.

I just booked a 4 night stay in NYC in August. Looked at airbnb and most viable options (location, quality etc.) were more expensive than hotels. I ended up booking the Courtyard Marriott Manhattan/Central Park. Apparently it's well situated. I got a basic room for $1023AUD for the 4 nights...

I don't mind children in premium cabins, provided the parents are prepared to react and take care of their child as best they can. Irrespective of the cabin whether premium or otherwise, or even any other location in public, I am only ever annoyed when parents just leave their child to cry...

I'm one of those people that used them! Two years ago, SYD to YVR via LAX. It all worked perfectly for me at the time, but I was quite nervous about how shoddy it all seemed yet I still went ahead. I booked about six weeks out from my departure date, saved about $2500 on the return trip from...

Thanks so much for your detailed reply. I'm pretty much certain based on feedback that I'll have to re check my bags for the SFO flight so I appreciate your info regarding where to go from TBIT so we don't wander around lost - wouldn't be the first time I've done that at LAX! I managed to use...

Thanks for the replies everyone. It doesn't sound like it's doable but I'll see what happens when I'm at the airport and try to remember to update this thread in case anyone wants to know.

Hi everyone, I have booked a flight with VA to LAX from Sydney in August. Once there, I have a connecting flight to SFO the same morning, that I booked with Velocity Points via VA's website on Delta. The reservation numbers for Syd to LAX and LAX to SFO are not the same. Does anyone know...

This exact situation has occurred to me just last week. I realised what must have happened, being that both my travel mate and I hold the Flyer CCs, but haven't yet contacted Virgin about it. I would suggest that they try to implement a fix for this ASAP, and in the meantime, I'll get on to...

Re: Virgin Business Class Lottery - now 0 for 2. Pay for Business, get Premium Econom So to continue with the theme here... I flew OOL to SYD this evening in what I had booked as a business class seat and service just yesterday afternoon. Flight Status on Virgin's mobile web site displayed the...

Looks like Malaysian Airlines doesn't agree with young 'uns in First Class. I can't post the link but AusBT has the story.

Is there any feedback from Virgin about what their IFE plans are for the new jets? I imagine this would encompass some sort of an upgrade across the entire fleet.

A question I've asked myself, short answer is I'm not one for confrontation. Plus the story is surely more entertaining this way.

First post! :D Travelling in long-haul J to Europe for the first time in 2009, I was quite excited for the trip ahead. First flight from Sydney to Singapore was fantastic. Was very quiet and the noise cancelling headphones made sure that any annoyingly audible noises were approprately muted...
