    What profit or loss after tax will QF and VA record for 2012-13?

    Virgin didn't increase fares, hence why they couldn't cover the carbon tax. So i wouldn't expect any reduction if it is abolished.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    It's not just limited to VA, QF in my experience have been more inconsistent than my VA experiences. I think its part of customer service type roles.

    Re: Virgin WIFi IFE Aircraft are still being tested, YID is the only one that they make a point of telling people when they are flying on it. It will be launched soon and those with it installed will be actively marketed as such.

    Why won't PAX turn off their mobiles when instructed

    There is a big difference between a WiFi device on a WiFi Capable aircraft and WiFi on one that isn't and mobile transmitters on aircraft. All of the VA Aircraft that are getting WiFi installed have to be 'TPED' approved/tested. This is basically certifying that the WiFi (not mobile) devices...

    VA v QF in PE to LAX

    Recently flew VA W to Abu Dhabi (J return). Second time in W with VA and the service, seat, food were all great. In my opinion VA is better and for the difference in price QF isnt worth it. What do you get for that? On VA, The W bar was stocked with wine, sparkling, beer, soft drinks and water...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    That's disappointing, I've had this dish both on the short haul domestic and the coast-to-coast service and loved it. Maybe a bad batch from the caterer in CBR? I would provide feedback.

    Perhaps it's just my good luck but have always got through to the right area and almost straight away without any significant holding. I doubt I'm doing anything different so all I can do is put it down to luck?

    That's not right. I get the reward seat availability being different but you would think with those numbers a seat in the upgrade bucket would be available. Maybe try at the lounge tomorrow?
