Called to cancel today - didn't state outright that I wanted to cancel, but that I was considering it. The agent asked if a cheaper card would be preferred but that was all, then proceeded to go through the cancellation. Didn't ask why I wanted to cancel and certainly didn't offer any retention...

There's no guarantee that any given flight will have J CR available. You might have more luck in the ~2 weeks prior to departure, I've found Emirates tend to have availability closer to departure these days.

Success for BNE>ABX 30-03, 1 passenger in economy with N4.

The international red tail sale ends tonight, but there is now a Queensland sale that ends on the 12th Feb, so I wouldn't expect anything until after that..

Urinal? 😂

At Sydney I generally find Ubers and Taxis very hit and miss so I just grab the train into the CBD as I find it's more consistent. Wait times have always been massive when I arrive.

Thanks, I was wondering where it was coming from. Normally I'd take this as an opportunity for an easy upgrade to a lie-flat - but having not flown any PE before I'm keen to try that, which will be like a free 737 upgrade minus catering anyway.

It's not even the earliest - there's one at 5am. Will be better when daylight savings is over.

It looks like QF503 BNE to SYD will be serviced by a 787-9 Monday week. Not sure if this is a common occurrence but as far as wide bodies go I've only ever seen the odd A330 on this route. Looking forward to trying PE for the first time though!

@twinaisle really enjoys hearing these experiences 🤣

Don't give them ideas.. "Rear lavatories can only be used after a purchase from the in-flight menu"

The devaluation is a shame, but happy there's no changes to status earn. It's another good reminder that hoarding points always carries risk.

The chicken miso was pretty good last night. There was also Penfolds X Thienot Champagne Brut Rosé available which was very nice!

Great, my highest priority is being able to get on a plane that day - the second is not spending an absolute fortune on a last minute whY fare (there's $330 J fares at the moment MEL>BNE). Refund to CC will be much preferred over travel bank.

Is anyone familiar with how late you can cancel a domestic business flight on VA? From what I've read it seems like up until departure is okay. I need to travel late in my wife's pregnancy and was planning on booking the last J flight for a couple of nights but would most likely cancel them...

I prefer to sit forward as there's less engine noise, and I prefer seeing less people in front of me as it feels more private and quiet (even though it's not).

We're planning a very similar itinerary for Nov-Dec this year. QF1 to Singapore, 2 nights in Singapore then on to Helsinki. Coming back we'll be overnight in Singapore before taking a flight the next day direct back to Brisbane. All one way CR flights.

After reading through a lot of the P1 experiences thread I can't personally see the value in going out of one's way to attain it.

24 Dec 2025 - SIN to BNE I9 denied for 2 pax. Might be too early so will try in a couple weeks again if loading stays light.

I would have a look through Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service
