    Velocity/Virgin websites are RUBBISH

    Hopefully this means that all business fares get chauffeur service. This would be a huge differentiator from qantas who just axed the service on routes to LAX.

    Velocity/Virgin websites are RUBBISH

    I lost seat assignments twice on a recent trip. Had picked out two seats well in advance went to look at how full the cabin was closer to the date and noticed i didn't have any seats. At this time there were no window/isle pairs left so had to move into the centre. Went to check in to the flight...

    Transit through LAX

    Went through this morning. Was a little confusing you need to ignore the visitor signs and walk towards the signs that say U.S. citizens and kiosks. Walk passed global entry and they will eventually direct you to the right place. The only thing you need to know is it only works if you have...

    Its actually become useful for me now. If it's on power and on my desk and I can say "hey Siri" and it will activate. Rather than having to hold down the button and hold the phone.

    Transit through LAX

    I must have all your bad luck. Always seem to have horrible experiences with LAX. Transiting through on friday hoping all these reports of new kiosks will be a change for the positive.

    If picked for Full Body Scan...

    Hearing all these stories about tissues, folded clothes etc getting picked up is amazing. I have a set of 6 piercings in my arm which have never been picked up by a scanner or a patdown. Wonder what else they can't detect.

    Don't upgrade to an iphone 6 if you are 1 handed user. It is now too large to use one handed, really frustrating.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    I basically got on and slept due to the late departure. Unfortunately it was my first time in QF F and was really looking forward to the tasting menu. Was a comfortable bed though!

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Well, just announced QF1 equipment change. Now will not be departing until 10pm. Certainly getting my money out of the FLounge. The banana maple tart is certainly worth missing out the bread and butter pudding :D

    Well posting from the Flounge. I had my first experience here :) Which was some what extended due to a almost 5 hour delay of QF1. After my meeting i decided to depart and head straight to the airport rather than attempting to find an empty desk in the Sydney office. Breezed through security and...

    AirNZ Sydney Lounge access - any advice appreciated

    From memory you can pay for access if it is not busy at 55$ a person. Just checked still can according to this page. International Lounges - Lounge Information - Koru - Airpoints - Air New Zealand - Australia Site If none of you drink then it is probably not worth it. The lounge is nothing...

    Garuda CGK-HKG in J, truly amazing!

    I flew this on SYD->DPS looks like a similar hard product. The food looks very different in terms of presentation, wonder if thats a recent change. The bed was pretty comfortable although as they don't put something down over it there was a noticeable gap where the seat fold are(which happens...
