I've PM'd Velocity Rewards about this thread asking the Virgin rep to follow and reply here in the thread. Jenifur Charne

Re: JetBlue flight attendant Steve Slater swears at passengers, then exits plane Rea Or perhaps not wanting to be whacked yet again by the same unruly pax. It also has me wondering why his colleagues on the flight apparently did nothing to assist him in dealing with the ill manered pax...

One thing to consider when you buy the luggage is wether or not you'll be using that luggage on an Australian domestic flight, as international carry on sizes are larger than what's permitted on domestic flights. Jenifur Charne

2 questions for the Admin related to this thread: 1. why can't AFF say up front on the subscription class selection page as to what payment methods are accepted? 2. why is there no PM link to you on the subscription class selection page for non-Paypal subscriptions? Jenifur Charne

Using your average cost for the flights of $90, and the total budget of $9000, on DJ this comes to 100 flights. 1 $90 flight short of Gold. By my calculations, at that $90 price per flight, it takes 45 flights to move from Red to Silver (20,250 points at 5 points per dollar spent), and another...

Another suggestion would be to PM the known reps from Virgin here on the forums about this thread, so they can know of what happened and also read the complete e-mail that you'd intended to send. Jenifur Charne

I also have the same problem as the OP with the points and SC not showing up in my account for the BNE-SYD return flights for my day trip I did to Sydney 2 weeks ago. I used the online claim form for missing points, and the system responded with the claim that the points were already credited...

You're more than welcome, CrazyDave. I first made mention of the issues regarding OLCI and Safari 4.0.5 in Win7, in the first post of my trip report. http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/trip-reports-and-trip-photos/new-flyers-first-flight-sydney-24552.html Unfortunately, at the time, I...

I apologise in advance for sticking another spanner into the discussion, but in this thread, mention has been made of the total cost in air travel to attain Gold status on Qantas and Virgin. The question that comes to mind is: Is Gold in Virgin the same as Gold in Qantas, or is Gold in...

Questions that need thought: 1. Japanese restaurant and set menus: Which restaurant (Kabuki at the Stamford Plaza Brisbane Hotel, Sono at Portside Wharf at Hamilton, or Sono at the Queen Street Mall) and which set menu at the selected restaurant? 2. Pre dinner drinks, Friday. How will we be...

Just waiting to see if any show stopper bugs are reported on, in Apple's own support forum for Safari for Windows. The fact that regarding Safari, the site seems to have issues that seem to be browser but not OS dependent has me concerned. But the Mac users, so far, have yet to say which...

Easily getting a very good seat via OLCI using Firefox, is precisely what happened with the BNE DOM - SYD DOM T2 return flights I did back on Jul 29. I'm a Velocity nothing red, I did the OLCI for them on Jul 28, and I was able to get seat 5F on both flights. What OS/browser? Jenifur Charne

There are some bugs in the OLCI system. Some bugs on the DJ site seem to be browser/OS specific. Others are not. I cannot get holiday bookings to complete, nor can I do OLCI using Apple Safari 4.0.5 for Windows, in Win 7 Home Premium. Yet using Firefox in the same OS, OLCI and holiday...

You missed some screen shots. The ones of the relevant pages on the Jetstar site. Without having the screen shots from both airline sites, it gives the call centre droids at Jetstar, room to evade the necessity to fully honour the publicly advertised claim by Jetstar. Jenifur Charne

That depends on who has control of the Senate. When it's in the control of the party that also controls the Lower House, the Senate is merely a rubber stamp. eg: the Senate under Howard when the Liberals controlled both Houses. When it's in the control of the major party in opposition in...

What aircraft make/model did you fly on? You should have properly configured your printer so it prints data from web pages at full size, and made certain of that before attempting OLCI. Whilst waiting at the gate at SYD DOM T2, did you notice any elderly or families make themselves known...

Another thing that makes Airtrain a ripoff is they do not do concession fares for pensioners. Jenifur Charne

Bowen Hills is also a station that Airtrain stops at. The best station for getting the most value for money out of an Airtrain fare is Roma Street, as its same $15 fare for Brisbane Airport to Eagle Junction as it is Brisbane Airport to Roma Street. So if you're doing Brisbane CBD to the...

I wonder what AA will do about the codeshares fares they reorganized with Mexicana recently due to the FAA downgrade to Mexico? American Airlines Current Travel Notices On AA.com Also, this has me wondering if Mexicana did their bankruptcy filing as payback against the US for the FAA downgrade...

Good call, Synthetic. :) Looking at the stuff in the start of what Bali Belly had posted, I'd missed Khe Sahn as well as the Redgum track. Cheesy, how much longer do you think it'll take you to get the compiled playlist done? Jenifur Charne
