    Cancellation Paterns

    There is also 'cancelled' with a days notice and 'cancelled' at the last minute. I think FlightAware will log each as the same 'cancelled' without reference to the actual customer experience on the day. Last August in Bali I was tracking those 787s and regular cancellations/delays. On the day...

    My preferred seat on the 787 and other long haul J is the inside aisle which only then has one person to clamber over the top of me instead of two is I took the outside aisle. I have noticed that when I am in this inner section of the the Dreamliner that I don't get mobile reception on the...

    VA Status Based International Lounge Access

    Does the International BP allow access to the Domestic lounges in practice. The policy as I read it always seems to mention 'same day domestic boarding pass. For example this page Virgin Australia's airport lounges | Virgin Australia and then later

    VA Status Based International Lounge Access

    Does VA have an international lounge strategy to deliver lounge access like a real airline? I'm departing BNE on AC as a VA Gold and cannot find any free lounge access. It's a 10am flight, I promise that I just use wifi and a coffee.

    Velocity points now worthless in 2023 (extreme stealth devaluation)

    Would the management of the VA flyer asset be one of the main considerations in the future float of the airline. I can imagine the only thing that matters to the analysts inside Bain is how the various financial benchmarks are coming together. Liabilities to Partner for future redemption...

    Dealing with lost baggage

    It's actually quite a pain. Our experience was late Saturday night arrival so we had stores opening late on Sunday morning and just trying to buy what we needed for one day, then next day we were more organised which is when I started using the museum gift shops and fitting the purchases into...

    Price Gouging Brisbane International fares.

    I don't search SYD-PER because if I'm going PERTH I'm going direct. What I have setup is my favourite destinations with searches 14, 21, 55, 90 days ahead on a rolling daily basis. The idea being that if I see Manchester fares go on sale 90 days in advance I have enough time to talk to Mrs A...
