    Virgin Australia Lounge Adelaide so sad so basic

    Never had a problem with the ADL fast track security. Was there a couple of weeks ago flying SQ ADL-SIN, having to go through 2 sets of security systems and not a problem. But I could reel of dozens of airports around the world where they are much more finicky.

    How much customer data does Qantas have

    It doesn't know I'm pregnant (I'm Not).

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Currently in Catania, this is hard to beat.

    Scams like these

    That's very interesting. Last week I received a text from the St George bank (where I do have an account) querying whether I had made a transaction at bookshop in Vienna (I hadn't). The text asked me to respond if I didn't recognise the transaction. I was a little suspicious but decided to...

    Airports absurdly close to the city

    What about Pisa (PSA)? 10 Minute walk to the CBD and a 5 minute walk fro my hotel. Pretty hard to beat.

    Economy x

    Yes Indeed. I flew MEL-ADL today and did a fly forward, so I was lucky to secure 4C, when I had 3A on the original flight. As it was a new config there's really no difference between rows 3 and 4 now. The whole thing is being devalued,

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Paired my 9,000 pts for 3x$130 spend offer with a 1,200 pts for $150 spend offer this week. All delivered on time, including some alcohol, and well packed (even a couple of "bonus" items). However, and this may be slightly off topic, the driver, who was a DoorDash contractor, demanded that he...

    VA IT Issues?

    Well, I received a "boarding pass" that I could print when I checked in online on the PC. It looks awful and completely unprofessional, but I guess I can use it. I can maybe request a nicer version at the lounge, but no worries. My point was that once I had checked in, the app couldn't display...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Yes, they do seem to have got a spurt on recently, perhaps in response to Coles' much better offers. I'm in the middle of a 9000 pts for 3x$130 and a concurrent 1200 for $150 just landed. Haven't seen anything quite like that for a while...

    Qantas Changes Acknowledgement of Country arrival Announcement

    Where else in the world is this sort of thing done? I don't recall hearing that much elsewhere...

    VA IT Issues?

    Just checked in online (via PC) for a flight to ADL and couldn't get a boarding pass on the app or sent to my email. Kept saying error. try again later. I noticed that they had "upgraded" the app (to not work), but has anyone else experienced similar issues.

    Are the days of Points collecting over?

    I'm not sure what planet you're living on, but I don't think many people with those sorts of incomes would find much of this relevant. Oh, unless they're asset rich and cash poor, of course.

    QF37 to QF1 transfer in SIN

    Unlikely there'd be much space available (in J at least), if my flight to AMS next week is anything to go by.

    Inflight theft

    Just have your valuables (if you have any) in your personal item under the seat in front or similar. That's what I tend to do. But then don't leave this item on the plane (which I have done, but with a happy ending).

    Paper towels enhanced from lounges?

    Been like that for a while. Was like that on 26 April when I was last there.

    UK Electronic Travel Authority ATA for transit

    If it were me, I wouldn't want to have any arguments (which you may not win) with check in staff at the airport, however remote a possibility. So I would just get an ETA as insurance. And who knows, there may be some issue requiring you to go landside for some reason.

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    Very simple to say, but pity VA didn't tell us what these new rules would be several years ago. “New” SC's aren't quite the same as “old” ones, in terms of their cost. Those that achieved the majority of them in the past are at a slight advantage, I think. Personally I just write it off to the...

    Virgin Wines points land after 6 months

    I took up a similar offer last month for 4,000 bonus points, and no points have yet been received. I gave Virgin Wines a ring and was told that I should wait for at least 30 days. Needless to say that I'll be following it up, but it doesn't make me want to buy any more wine off them. Makes the...

    eSims, what is your experience.

    Yes, I'm with Three UK as well. It's pretty good, but unfortunately doesn't cover Thailand, which I visit fairly often, so I then have to fall back on my Amaysim plan. Not a huge deal, though.
