    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Re: Virgin Australia Business Class Catering No, was in J. but it shouldn't matter if it was F or J. If it cant be served right, it shouldn't be served at all. Hate to imagine what they serve in Y!

    Re: Virgin Australia Business Class Catering Was a steak one, it was warm but the whole experience was a let down.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Re: Virgin Australia Business Class Catering Last toasted sandwich I had on QF was soggy on the bottom and dry on the type. Not really what you expect for a J price meal. A toastie is the sort of thing that has to be perfect if you are going to serve it.

    I have had enough.... [Offloaded after Flight not called in VA lounge]

    Aren't they just validating your eligibility to enter? I don't think the old system or Sabre lists those that are in the lounge at a given time, the Velocity system may do.

    I have had enough.... [Offloaded after Flight not called in VA lounge]

    I'm glad some airlines don't make calls int he lounges. Otherwise there is a constant stream of PA's, not very conducive to a relaxing environment.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Princess Fiona, where does it show on the reservation that an upgrade has been issued? I've received plenty of upgrades but never noticed anything prior to checkin.

    Why do they turn day into night?

    Maybe there isn't enough space to offer a proper dinner service twice. When I hang around in the galley chatting with the crew it seems every inch is used. All of the long haul international flights i've been on have either had a lunch/breakfast or dinner/breakfast. In some instances...

    Has the HSW gone downhill in Elite Treatment?

    Re: How do Hilton treat you as an Elite? It's the small things generally speaking. No note, water, upgrade etc. Being charged for internet and having to argue to have it removed as a Diamond.

    Seat selection in new system?

    Seat selection in new system?

    I have the same issue on the A330 and B77W. Not sure if its a related to the seat map issue they had after the Sabre cutover. It's a bit annoying.

    SC on Upgrades

    I have had the same happen on the flights where I have bought a flexi and upgraded using points or the WP complementary upgrades, as well as points redemptions. All in Business class. All booked post Sabre.

    On board recognition - who gets any?

    Not on VA, and I'm still not sure if they do it. I have had the only spare seat in Y and J on a couple of occasions, On one flight I was having a good conversation with he CS and asked if there were many WP's onboard and she said I was the only one. So I welcome the shadow but not 100% convinced...

    On board recognition - who gets any?

    Maybe the majority of the time however I have sat next to across from a 'Club' member on a couple of occasions when I've been in 3A and J was empty. Maybe there is a level or 'Club' membership or depends who it is?

    On board recognition - who gets any?

    Perhaps the pax was a 'Club' member? that still doesn't mean you shouldn't at least be greeted or provided with a paper. As others have said, it's the small things that cost nothing that make you more inclined to remember a positive flight. Again as Rooflyer said, if you are going to greet me by...

    I was thinking the same thing only today. It used to be near the top when logged in but I cant find it either.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Oh good. I'm using it as the return journey in place of a regular trip that normally takes me a little bit north on arrival so dont want to be left without a journey home. Are you travelling on the same day as B11 is scheduled?
