    Recent Decline of VA service

    Of course, flying DRW-SYD would be ecstatic getting a maggot bag (pie), snot block (vanilla slice) and a choccy milk in Flexi, and something full stop in Saver.

    Recent Decline of VA service

    That's seriously going downhill! Anything that might even remotely belong in a servo's Bain Marie of Courage doesn't belong in J. What next, Chiko Rolls?

    Recent Decline of VA service

    Noting the sodium nitrate content in the red Frankfurt, and what that does to the body, I am prepared to compromise: Bavarian Weisswurst (white sausage) with pretzels and sweet mustard.

    Hot Dogs, while cheap, made of unpleasant things, and not at all high brow, are immensely satisfying. Nom nom nom

    I hope the DRW lounge when built embraces DRW cuisine. Laksa and/or green pawpaw salad for breakfast, and lunch, and dinner.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    I am planning a status run CBR-MEL-PER-DRW. It requires eight hours in PER from Midnight to 8am departure. How should I kill time in the wee hours of the morning. Will I be kicked out the of the terminal until the lounge opens again?

    Back at home so can do attachment - here is a Flexi meal as served 27 April DRW-SYD.

    I don't travel Flexi often, when you are going to Darwin you generally don't need it, as flexibility is measured in 24hour blocks, but agree. My last meal DRW-SYD was Flexi. I got a Sandwich wrapped in a plastic bag, a muesli bar, but at least I, got a bottle of wine. There was no ceremony, and...

    Travel Report - Family holiday across sea to Bali ex DRW during the NT School Holiday

    Re: Travel Report - Family holiday across sea to Bali ex DRW during the NT School Hol Jimmy124. Flightwise, DPS definitely cheaper than CBR, and more pleasant than camping in the house. They are all coming south for snow before Mrs Here2go's 4 year contract winds up and she heads south too...

    Travel Report - Family holiday across sea to Bali ex DRW during the NT School Holiday

    All I thought I'd do a quick travel report DRW-DPS return for my young family and au pair (and me CBR-SYD-DPS-DRW). 4 April-9 April. I had booked a package through Flight Centre, as both my wife in DRW and I in Canberra were busy. I flew VA ex CBR on an ATR to Sydney on a VA saver fare, with...

    So I have learned. As I said at the start of the thread cautioning myself, caveat emptor.

    My bad. Will work on trips later in the year. Just painful in the meantime when all my travel is self-funded and not work subsidised.

    2 for 1 Platinum Virgin Money

    She's Platinum thanks to pooling and status matching. I'm throwing everything at her so she can gift me gold - and I'm doing all the travelling. She ends up flying Qantas most of the time for work.

    Just called the call centre, and asked if we were on the same PNR, but flying on different flights, if this would work. Answer is still no. :(
