    Malaysian Airlines MH17 Crashes in Ukraine

    Seems airlines are now actively avoiding Ukrainian airspace. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BswazSuCUAAvyoT.jpg:large It makes you wonder why they even flew over contested space?

    Melatonin Recommendations

    I was prescribed it by a sleep specialist as i was having insomnia and in her words "didn't want all her good work undone" by me flying a lot. She told me to pick it up in the US. However said that usually it only comes in 3 and 5mg over there. She said to buy the three and take half. She also...

    Virgin Platinum Pointless?

    This is usually my strategy(it has not worked yet). Just a little painful. Especially when you know there are non status pax taking up what could be reward seats.

    Virgin Platinum Pointless?

    I have never been able to score an upgrade with virgin using points on a transpac flight. Yet always get the upgrademe offers. Little frustrating.

    777 PE for a tall person

    i have a flight in PE on a 777 coming up. I am fairly tall and hate getting stuck behind a bulkhead. I have currently selected seat 23b but even with the curve of the wall i am a little worried about not being able to stretch out fully. Anyone have any experience?

    Erk's Northern Hemiwanderer, June 2014

    Here is my time to shine :D They tend to fall under the bigger banner (which pirate metal usually sits under too) of folk metal. So such bands as skyclad, fintroll(although popularised would be a better term) and amorphis are usually viewed as the pioneers of this genre. Most don't tend to...

    Amex is offering 80,000 points if you sign up for a platinum card. Not sure if the timings would work though.

    Bonus 200 SC's for credit transfer.

    Its a pretty expensive way to earn status credits. Given the earn rate on my amex would be cheaper to actually fly.

    Bonus 200 SC's for credit transfer.

    Mine is for 300 status credits for 100,000 points. I wonder why the difference. I certainly don't need the extra, well over my requirements for maintaining platinum this year. Transfer the equivalent of 100,000 Velocity Points or more from one of the participating partners below by 30 June 2014...

    Dob in a dragon!

    Even then its not easy. Delta lounges in the US has this. I fronted with a velocity platinum card, turns out when you search for velocity it doesn't show up. You have to search for virgin Australia. This took them a while to figure out.

    SYD - LAX Flight

    I found the seat/bed a little hard, kept waking up with pins and needles in my arm(stealing some blankets usually helps). Doesn't happen with airnz due to that memory foam mattress they put down.
