BNE SilverKris until SQ246 boards.

Yeah, when I sat down the first thing that came into my head was "I could use a Chux and some S&W around this cabin". FAs usually get embarrassed when I bring this kind of stuff up, and I don't like doing that to them. No reply on twitter. so meh. Case closed.

No, I gave up giving feedback to VA years ago. Only reason we still fly with them is the ease of booking reward domestic J.

Melbourne to Brisbane VA319.

Have never seen so much cough around the air vents/lights today in my life while on a VA 737. Is this a sign of average maintenance? A filter needs changing? Looks somewhat disconcerting:

VA319 MEL-BNE breakfast. Omelette with smoked salmon pieces on top. Very nice, needs seasoning - salt and pepper gets it over the line. Alternate was bircher muesli, also a good choice.

This Dr Tim guy is one of the reasons we spend a lot of effort minimising our tax.

Re: Easy fix for VA - new 737 J class! Indeed. Just put new versions of those seats 737 fleet-wide - with IFE screens. Done, move onto next problem. Otherwise folks will again be complaining that they booked J in SYD-PER and ended up with the regular J and not the transcon J when irrops...

Don't waste any more time on it, just get your card provider to pull a charge-back. VA are just as bad as well when things go awry.

One call to Amex would have sorted them out. But yeah, it isn't 1980 anymore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbs6xL3FilM

Watched it last week. Lookes like a good QF ad. Interesting that the woman who didn't fly that much (actress/muso?) got an upgrade to J. And they left F alone completely.

MEL-CBR VA289 Dinner - beef short rib, quite nice. Cheese was way off. Strawberry polenta cake in a box was blergh. 1F had mushroom soup: You could have chicken on top if desired. Tasted OK. For such a short flight the service was good, however if you plan to eat make sure you're in row 1...

That's a whole box of awesome, but with VA ditching the aircraft type we can only dream. Then again I'm still waiting for footrests in 737 J.

Re: Virgin, the modern day Robin Hood. Taking row 3 from platinums and giving it to a VA needs cash. Cold hard cash from passengers. I wonder what their next revenue-raising idea will be?

re: VA to HKG from mid 2017 [From Where?] I wonder how they will handle any IRROPS out of HKG? However this is a great step. I hope they can offer some decent catering in Y and have plenty of reward seats. Lounge access ex-MEL could be flaky, I suspect it will be T2 domestic before security...

Re: Left Bose QuiteComfort 35 headphones on a Virgin Australia Brisbane to Sydney fli Brown stuff happens. If you leave your headphones in the seat pocket of (say) row 7 and someone from row 15 follows you, they could just pick them up and keep walking. Please note that I don't think people...

That's about normal. Just write it off to an accident and move on. Any energy expended on this would be wasted.

I don't. Classes exist for a reason and we're glad for it. We pay much much more in points/dollars to have a nice quiet flight experience where waiting is for other people, from check-in to collecting the bags at the destination. The last thing I want is some first-time flyer interrupting my G&T...

Total long shot - if you take the train between Brisbane and Caboolture, just before Carseldine on your right there is an auto wreckers. Inside you can/could see an old Bedford Ansett (with the last logo faded away) stair truck.
