Yep, too late. I got the last one in SYD at 1745 last Friday night.

Super professional service on VA882 from SYD home to MEL this evening from Linda. Chose the mustard chicken over the mushroom gnocchi and also asked for a chocolate from the pantry after service which was happily provided (two of them!), along with a large refill of the Cav Sav. Lovely way to...

Sydney lounge at 530 tonight was jammed. Think I snagged the last burger at about 545, apologies all. At 6pm, the staff came over the speakers and had a minute's silence for a colleague, Billy, who passed away earlier this week, and had worked in the lounge for the last 10 years.

I find it interesting (and I'm purely speculating and making assumptions on your spend here, of course, but I do recall you reference A LOT of business travel across your employer) that given this, that you and some of your colleagues are not considered "Beyond" potential. The intricacies of...

I'm glad they look after you, at least! 🤣 It was many years ago, I'm sure it's improved (even the post just above looked better even if the review wasn't great).

In terms of an outstation meal, it's still better than the white bread sandwich with almost no filling I got flying back J from DPS - MEL on the red-eye many years back (maybe 2017?). Following my feedback, VA acknowledged the catering wasn't up to scratch and gave a gratis 10,000 points IIRC.

If I am pooling to a family member and they do a one-off transfer of points to me so I can use them, will the points transfer to my account and stay there, or hit the account and then pool back? Anyone done this before and know?

Send a staff member to the local bottle-o! Not good...

Attained WP 28 Jan, welcome pack arrived today 22 Feb with printed letter dated 3 Feb. Impressive!

This happened to my partner and I on a recent flight. We had booked Row 4, but were shifted back to Row 14 between OLCI and boarding. There was an elderly couple in our Row 4 seats so we understood. Thankfully the seat beside us remained free which helped.

I usually just walk past the existing line up to the front 🤣

Gold to gold makes sense to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ You can probably call up and get the Economy X seats changed for $0.

I've seen other emails only offering two rewards, 50 SCs or 8000 points. So this appears to be a highly targeted offer. No email for me. Yet.

10-4 You won't be able to with the current booking, there will need to be SYD-LAX rewards availability (I have presumed you've booked a one way points flight?)

Your question doesn't quite make sense, on my reading, anyway. But you can change or cancel a points reward flight, of course. But is there reward availability for what you want to do?

If 4 eligible sectors is difficult (i.e two return VA metal flights in 12 months), I'm not sure that the $ spent on Silver/Gold etc. are worth it... or that I'd classify you as a FF...

I've redeemed EY J as QR J has dried up pre-Xmas 2023.

For the record, I am very, very happy with the overall VA lounge offering at present (and I'll even give the chicken sausages another go 🤣)

It wasn't me as the mutterer 🤣

The sooner those skinless chicken sausages are gone, the better. Has anyone had one that isn't completely dry and hard?
