    General Virgin Australia Lounge Discussion

    VA would only be paying for the extra security detail for the time that they deem as being peak, as I'm pretty sure that Sydney Airport would be quite happy to charge them for the (at least) 4 security staff required to run the additional check point at Premium Entry. If the "zoo" upstairs is a...

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Let's just say that Mrs Hawk didn't look too impressed when I glanced back from 1D to 4A 😐

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    I had a fun experience last year - Mrs Hawk and I were on the same flight, different PNR's, bid the same amount and guess who got upgraded and who didn't...😐

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    That's a shame, considering it can be done quite easily in the US and Europe. 😐

    Velocity Points Programme & flights to USA

    Polaris Lounge @ SFO is the best I've experienced, however the sit down dining option does get busy, and the buffet is still a reasonable alternative. Catering on UA isn't awful either. Sure it's not SQ, but it ain't JQ! In all seriousness, the lunch ex-Australia is fairly decent but breakfast...

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    No WiFi or IFE on VH-VOL this evening. CM was quite proactive, advising pax on the ground in SYD to download whatever they'd like to watch/listen to whilst on ground...

    Brisbane Premium Lounge Entry

    With the works ongoing at BNE, you have to go outside the terminal to get through security. The Premium Entry is now after security and you walk back past it and then up the escalators that were previously the "down" escalators outside Gate 41. Premium Entry hasn't been open any time that we've...

    I hate the coffee ordering kiosk in the VA Brisbane lounge

    Yep. VA Lounge...since September-ish (that's when I took my pic)

    I hate the coffee ordering kiosk in the VA Brisbane lounge

    Admittedly when they initially had two self-serve kiosks running this was much quicker than the current situation of only one kiosk working. Having said that, this beats the hell out of the prior AM peak hour shermozzle of two people working the coffee machines and one of them stopping every 4-5...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Mrs Hawk and I did BNE-SYD yesterday mid-afternoon (1535 departure). PDB's of OJ and still water were there pre-prepped on the tray. We were on one of the ex-Silk Air birds, so no divider however our CM was quite vigilant in firmly turning back the 2 or 3 who tried to use the J lav. Meal offer...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Fair enough. For a while there I thought it had gone back to 1AC-1DF-2AC-2DF, however 🤷‍♂️ Having said that, Mrs Hawk and I are doing BNE-SYD tomorrow in J, so let's see how it goes.
