Yes but remember with many of these type of approval things, just because one country approves something and has it in regular use, doesn’t mean another will just accept that same approach. Rightly or wrongly, they would want to do their own review and approval process. Fairly common in government.

Wouldn’t they be looking at safety issues like does it obstruct evacuation procedures, can everyone watch the safety briefing etc ?

I noticed on my upcoming bookings that my status is showing as "VIP". I wonder if this is where access to Beyond lounge is being granted - possibly there is no disctinction between Beyond member status (VIP) and Platinum Plus (VIP) member status in VA's system, and therefore, "computer says...

Now watch QF dump capacity and drop airfares on any potential competing routes, bleed the competition to death and then revert to usual programming of squeezing the most dollar out of travellers 🤣

I use the Virgin Money High Flyer Velocity Visa card as my primary VA earning card now. Gave up the Virgin Amex during COVID and haven’t gone back to it - converted it to Platinum Edge and now also have the Platinum card to allow for conversions to Velocity.

Have you never had a conversation with someone on the ASD spectrum…. Would make entire sense. (And being frank, some/most members would fall someone along the spectrum - it is a spectrum after all…) 😉😂

Perhaps one Justice won’t be getting their Chairman’s Lounge membership renewed next year now…

I read recently on a thread someone scolding a group of hunters returning on a flight excited for the “kills” they had scored…. We all know what the real thrill of the hunt is here for us that gets our endorphins running…. The all elusive and mostly nocturnal dwelling Reward Redemption… a...

Are you predicting the collapse of society and reversion to centuries of abandoned cities? 😆😂

Everyone has to take a dump everyday... doesn't mean it's a pleasant experience for everyone each time. Just something that has to be done.

Sadly, these days, the title of this thread is the definition of an oxymoron when it comes to the vast majority of experience for Qantas customers.

Does RSD stand for “Real Signals Directorate”, does it? You know, like celebrities who have handles like “theRealPersonX”,

At least it sounds like they are doing testing 😆

Glad to hear that VA proactively “upgraded” a status member to YX for free rather than just filling empty seats, including YX with late comers (non status) that hadn’t selected a seat previously. And yeah, I have friends that try the window/aisle trick with the hope of a free seat. My...

Yeah when VA flew SYD-LAX, it was often a trick to fly to NZ and then book NZ-SYD-LAX to get a better price. Just had to suffer the flights back and forth across the Tasman… but fortunately we’re a bunch of Frequent Fliers who don’t mind that kind of thing 😆.

(Just to clarify, I don’t need to do this, I was just interested to see the difference in price. I was doing this research for another thread where they were debating how SCs are now calculated for multi-sector fares… )

Based on how I thought VA's fares for multi-city worked, I thought skiplagging wouldn't ever save any money on VA. However, doing a quick search recently for a flight, and I discovered some strange combos. Would others ever consider using skiplagging to save some money? E.g. direct CNS-BNE is...

Weight versus Item count has always miffed me… sure, I get that weight sometimes becomes a WHS issue, but the volume of a bag 7kgs v 10kgs is often the same. I guess that’s the US item model isn’t it where they are unlimited in weight ISTR.

You need to travel on JAL domestic J then to discover they only offer a glass of water ISTR. Oh sorry, it’s actually either a hot or cold beverage in their J Class.

Thanks, so just over a quarter with the divider still. But I assume slowly diminishing…? I think it’s still a bit misleading to present that image as their standard offering these days.
