Actually Dr Karl has prosopagnosia, so he would find this difficult by sight alone!

And selling a 35% stake in Velocity.

I agree, checking again later often gives a few options in rows 3-4 (as Gold) that weren't available 48 hrs out. e.g., might move from row 7 (chosen at booking) to row 5 when online check-in opens, then to row 4 a day later. I suppose in some cases the increased availability could be because...

Seems twas just a blip, back to normal on the weekend.

Does mobile check-in no longer have the option to find your booking by Velocity number? I have to go via manage bookings?! Mobile check-in's integration with the Velocity system was better than the main website, which could never find my booking, yet apparently now it has somehow fallen behind...

re: Happy Hour returns Not relevant to happy hour sales, but the map here comparing standard time to solar time is interesting: How much is time wrong around the world? | The poor man's math blog And obviously the solution is to move the arbitrary discontinuity in the timezone from the Tweed...

Scissors in luggage, apparently: Brisbane airport delays caused by pair of scissors

Ah very nice to be able to earn SCs on the cheapest fares.

Mine came from [email protected]

My email offers double status credits, same dates as above.

I like this placeholder article at SMH: QANTAS HOLDER

This thread suggests you might be able to select seats if you can get the SQ booking reference: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/virgin-australia-velocity/va-codeshares-sq-seat-selection-50566.html

Oh didn't realize, largely because the only time I'm interested in changing my seats is at check-in.

Yep looks like seat selection is back, no longer confined to booking and check-in.

Not sure if it's still the case, but at BNE, QF requests umbrellas to be put in the tray, while JQ and VA do not. Seems dumb having inconsistencies when they lead to the same secure area...

I rather like the range of films, it's just a shame that my usual flights are too short to watch in one sitting. Fortunately it's simple and fast to seek to where I left off - much better than most in-seat systems where you have to fast-forward and guess when to press play. The TV shows interest...

Gone up to $150 :(

If "everyone" is booked on the later flight then that flight will no longer be cheap. It's naturally self-limiting. And I would think that a substantial portion of the savings they may be seeking will be offset by increased time spent in the lounges, and increased numbers of passengers needing...

Interesting move pricing it higher than the train, sure there's no competition after 10pm but during the day? I guess they're banking on the hotel delivery being the selling point. I see from their price list that Roma St is still $15, but "selected stops" is $20.

Actually once online check in opens you can select seats repeatedly without finalizing the check in. As a gold, at booking I usually select in row 7. Then at T-48 I move as far forward as I can (row 4 or 5, depending how busy the flight is). Then at T-24 or later, seats in rows 3 or 4 might open...
