    Virgin Australia Boeing 737 Max 8

    All this is odd as the Max could do HND but the 737-800s couldn't and the 737-700s could?

    New Amex statement credits

    Haha I was joking as in the offer is so niche that only a single person can take advantage of it.

    I bet just one single AU card member will take advantage of this.

    Escape Lounge at Cairns Airport International Terminal

    Yes provided the lounge is open and you have access to the terminal there are no limitations. If on JQ33 which leaves at 11am you'd get maximum 2 hours as the lounge opens at 9am.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Fare classes mean nothing with branded fares. You need to look at the fare basis.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I've seen this order a bit lately. I'm still a firm deliver it should be status based or fare type (with upgrades done last). Crew do get a list of last minute changes/upgrades where catering isn't guaranteed but with most flights catered for the full 8 I don't think they bother looking at it.

    New Amex statement credits

    Aussie previously hasn’t accepted Amex so I think it’s more trying to encourage existing subscribers to change their direct debit to an Amex card.
