    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Cost cutting? Gordon’s is about $60 for 1L whereas Beefeater around $50 and also happens to be the gin that Emirates serves in Economy.

    Accor ALL Signature Discussion

    I'm currently part way through an Absolute plan that I got last month for 25% off. The 30% off makes it even better but only for those who haven't had Signature before they're limited to 20% off. Last year the black Friday deal was 50% off the first single month so hopefully this "warm up" deal...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I mean that's the thing about the current program, 38SCs on a VA status run is $456 (excluding lite fares). If flying VA Y or partners a bit in the next 12 months could be worth it plus the soft landing to silver (couple of lounge passes) in a years time. Currently a VA lounge membership (that...

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Short Answer : No would be fine not a problem. Long Answer : Velocity points and SCs are awarded based on the underlying fare basis of the eticket (yes still a thing even in the new $ = points/SC world), upgrades keep the eticket in the same fare basis but the reservation is changed to Z...

    Points/Bid/Platinum upgrade to/from Bali

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    The intention is port headland as a temporary stop, qantas still don’t have all the regulatory approvals they need.

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    Minus a monthly PER-XCH special Saturday flights that will be direct and depart Perth at 12:30pm all flights will be a 9:25am departure. I recently flew out PER-CCK on VA and using priority pass accessed the Aspire lounge. The breakfast was average and coffee was ok so if Qantas doesn't at all...

    Consequences of Ditching Last leg of an Itinerary

    The OPs original post mentions there will be months between the 2nd last flight HKG-SYD and the last flight SYD-NAN. Yes the bags would connect if the time between flights was 24 hours or less but in this case Sydney airport won't be holding the bags for a couple of months to load onto a flight...

    Fly domestic international Thursday 25th Dec?

    It did go, I didn’t go on it. Have been unwell so decided wasn’t worth it, in the end the fare was $29 so not a huge loss but still a shame. I’ll keep an eye out for future ones.

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    Sounds to me like all the points down the drain. Unless like Velocity they held the value of the points separately in a trust setup (highly unlikely) it seems like this was the T Rex way of getting rid of the points and removing the program?

    At least they are consistent not updating the document title. W&C Standard Template.

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    I think 99% of the time they're priced higher but that's just the way they profit. Like many I'm in it for the points but still drink the wine so in my head I like to give the bottles a $10 per bottle value (regardless of the actual bottle) then subtract that from the price and work out a...

    Acronyms on Jetstar Boarding Passes

    Now getting a bit nerdy but I've noticed that for many of the add ons and codes they appear in the "datalayer" of a jetstar booking when using the web inspect tool on the browser: For example BMXN appears to be the new 14kg carry on. Seen on a SYD-MEL as an option but I hadn't selected yet:

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    At QF lounges if on a QF/JQ flight number or oneworld marketed/operated flight (and entering with QF status) then the guest can be flying on any QF/JQ flight number oneworld marketed/operated flight as well, doesn't need to be the same flight.

    SkyTeam Status Match - ITA Airways

    I was approved and didn't get it via flying. As I asked before, did you provide a screenshot of the website with a zero points balance. Status match is a seperate company to Lufthansa and ITA and due to the EU regulations Lufthansa is not able to access any ITA data hence they have engaged this...
