    Singapore Lounge for Virgin Australia Lounge Member flying SQ

    Just a reminder to have your friend complete the online SG Arrival Card prior to arrival, if they want to enter Singapore. It is free so any website that is official looking but wants to charge a fee is a scam.

    Meet me in the SQ Lounge thread

    Because Australia is so un-racist, it is particularly jarring when you come across it (frequently) in Asia.

    Singapore Lounge for Virgin Australia Lounge Member flying SQ

    Go round to T1 and have a swim in the outdoor pool (Aerotel transit hotel). Butterfly garden, cinema. Enter Singapore (as per above comments) and visit one of the staff canteens (hawker centres) T1 or T2. Visit the underground carnival and food court in basement T3. Or even go to East Coast and...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Mate, you need to try a bit of Zen, like that person on that other thread claims to be (but isn't).

    Singapore Lounge for Virgin Australia Lounge Member flying SQ

    SATS lounge in T3 is okay, but won't be cheap for six hours.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Yeah, we get it. You don't like VA.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    The sole reason I chase SG/WP with VA is to have status benefits when flying SQ Y, which benefits are valuable (lounge access, priority boarding etc). And VA status is easier to obtain than SQ status. But not worth it anymore.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I sorta grudgingly admit that this makes sense. Why should a miserable $49 flight to Ballina earn more than 2 SCs, and it's a decent earn if you are crazy enough to fork out for a Flex fare.

    Things Qantas Does & Doesn't Do Well

    The only thing they are really good at is PR - getting soft coverage in the media ("Qantas launches insane sale", "Qantas has slashed the cost of its flights...") and on sites like Executive Traveller.

    Pax putting phone on speaker mode throughout flight and ignoring crew requests

    The fact that you keep replying and disagreeing multiple times to multiple comments tells me you have not Zenned out at all.

    Virgin Australia orders 8 Embraer E190-E2 jets for delivery from 2025

    Nah. A220 is Bombardier CS series. E190 is Embraer.

    China - never a dull moment!

    Yes, disturbing is the word. And yes also lots of nice places to see in Nanjing.

    Pax putting phone on speaker mode throughout flight and ignoring crew requests

    Disagree. The types of people doing the wrong thing won't read media releases and airlines policies. Cabin crew are NOT escalating if they tell the pax on board that if they don't comply with the instruction they will be banned from future flights. That is literally de-escalating, and has the...

    Pax putting phone on speaker mode throughout flight and ignoring crew requests

    Yes, I've done both of those before, usually works but not always. Joining their video calls is quite good, you can chat with some interesting people!

    China - never a dull moment!

    For a day trip, I would also suggest Nanjing/Nanking. Not "nice" as such but a visit to the massacre museum provides an opportunity for reflection.

    Best Designed Luggage and Backpack

    Answer: It depends. Best backpack for me, being HLO and aiming for 8kg, is Kathmandu Litehaul 38L. Good quality, good size, light, enough pockets, good laptop protection, good straps.
