    Left Bose QuiteComfort 35 headphones on a Virgin Australia Brisbane to Sydney flight

    Re: Left Bose QuiteComfort 35 headphones on a Virgin Australia Brisbane to Sydney fli Brown stuff happens. If you leave your headphones in the seat pocket of (say) row 7 and someone from row 15 follows you, they could just pick them up and keep walking. Please note that I don't think people...

    Poor customer care

    That's about normal. Just write it off to an accident and move on. Any energy expended on this would be wasted.

    Business class and toilets

    I don't. Classes exist for a reason and we're glad for it. We pay much much more in points/dollars to have a nice quiet flight experience where waiting is for other people, from check-in to collecting the bags at the destination. The last thing I want is some first-time flyer interrupting my G&T...

    Signs of lost but not forgotten airlines

    Total long shot - if you take the train between Brisbane and Caboolture, just before Carseldine on your right there is an auto wreckers. Inside you can/could see an old Bedford Ansett (with the last logo faded away) stair truck.

    737 Economy seat power trial in Q2 2017

    So when the dust settles in a few months they can quietly forget about it and save the money. Remember the trial of hot meals on the domestic triangle? Talk up a storm - then do 1% of it ... then wander off and forget.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    VA823 MEL-SYD Breakfast. Bircher muesli, very nice. VA858 SYD-MEL, snack. Vietnamese tacos. Complete fail. Do not order this dish. Very acidic liquid in bottom of bowl prevents making a "taco" from stale, burnt soft quesadillas. With cheese and an Anzac biscuit. I think this service was...

    Bonus Upgrade, Points and status credits

    I wouldn't trust a VA computer as far as I could kick it, so just be prepared in case that charge comes through.

    Virgin Happy Hour [Thursdays]

    You need to be fast, only a certain number of seats per flight will have the discounted price. Sometimes "Happy Hour" is for book first, think later trips [e.g. when those domestic J sectors went for $200 in 2012]

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Flew Air North to Toowoomba last week, had two beef lasagnas and several pinots. In economy. $0. Delicious. VA have really dropped the ball. Now let's get back to VA J meals.

    Different Treatment as an Upgrade Customer

    Nailed it. "Think up a BS excuse that sounds official so I don't have to do any work."

    Bye Bye E-Jets :-( (and some ATRs)

    Farewell E-Jet, how I loved your 2+2 seating. Glad we switched to Air North for MEL to WTB (beats BNE and driving).

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    A percentage of crew is just downright lazy or "all talk and no action". They shake your hand and smile when you sit down (creepy) - do the minimum then vanish ASAP for the rest of the flight, only to reappear and shake your hand as you deplane (double creepy). I think "making a moment for each...

    Oppo R7 and R7 plus - awesome units. OPPO R7 Plus, ColorOS 2.1, 32GB, VOOC Flash Charge - OPPO Global Battery on my R7+ lasts three days, and can add 50% charge in around 30 minutes. Supports Cat9 LTE on Telstra. You can get the phones from Dick Smith.

    Low-earning Australians to be kicked out of Britain under new visa rules

    Yup, it's a way to start cleaning the population of "undesirables".

    VA cuts Brisbane Premium Entry opening hours

    Re: VA wishlist. Time for..... Perhaps they could put a doorbell at the entrance, and a nice padded bench. Ring the bell, wait a few minutes, they let you in etc. :)

    VA cuts Brisbane Premium Entry opening hours

    Re: VA wishlist. Time for..... An absolute joke. Just close the place down and sell it to SQ. I often wonder what SQ flying domestic AU would be like...

    Virgin to cancel flights to Bali and fly tiger air ?

    Garuda? They use a more suitable A330 - so there's more room to walk around for a stretch - and more toilets.
