It's only a savings of $270 unless you are comparing using a discount code with Virgin (on the cheapest days) vs paying full price with Qantas. Also it's no comparison if flying on the A330 with Qantas. The hard product is worlds apart. If flying in a 737 with Qantas then the hard product is...

Very handy to know this for any future promos!

Yes it is one person asking for it as a courtesy request. I want to clarify that im not saying that it should be expected. I'm just saying that if I had asked for it and was told no and then saw the business cabin crew subsequently chatting or "resting" the entire remainder of the flight...

<redacted> No one is talking about offering "dine on demand" we are talking about 1 business class passenger asking if he can have his meal a little later as he's not hungry presently. Ive never done this myself, but I've witnessed it happen several times and it's never once been an issue for...

And it's exactly what has been demonstrated by this very response of yours that my assumption was indeed correct. Your own words are that you would rather rest than do something extra. That's the exact opposite attitude to what someone should have that's serving in business class. If I came...

You are the one off on a straw man tangent here. No one said anything about around the clock non stop service. The question was raised that if you guys have nothing else to do and someone requests to have their meal later on what is the justification for saying no? If you are so flat off your...

That's the point I think. They would prefer to just chill and chat. They assume that everyone should just go to sleep after eating and not bother them for the remainder of the flight.

Agreed. Virgin's international business product is a joke until they can offer lounge access; either through partnership arrangements, or otherwise.

This is a tad harsh. You definitely get a more comfortable and spacious seat, both in width and more leg room. Sure it doesn't lie flat, that's the main downfall of Virgin's business class product. But you do also get served a pretty decent meal (for domestic airline food standards) as well as...

Why is this question in the promo codes thread? Anyway, as you point out there needs to be an award saver J class seat available first in order to get the Platinum upgrade from Y. Ive been looking for these availabilities over the next 2 months and they seem to be rare as hens teeth. Perhaps...

You need to have an Amex card or a Priority Pass membership to have access to this lounge. I agree with you that's it's a pathetic situation with virgin on international flights offering nothing in the way of lounge access, even for J class or platinum members.

Ok thanks. I did this for a bunch of flights but wasn't sure if there is a way to then check the flights you are on waitlists for.

just wondering how you join a waiting list for an award flight? Is it just as simple as clicking on the words "waiting list" and it's done? I did this for a bunch of flights but don't know how to check and see what flights I'm on the "waiting list" for. I'm just using the singaporeair.com...

Unfortunately I have to concur. The bigger joke is that Virgin hasn't got any international lounge arrangements in place, unless you are traveling with a partner airline.

You can just show your amex card at the entrance, they can swipe the card and verify if you have access.

yup I think I'm in same boat. Done 10 nights, only 50 to go, even though I think I'll retain via the 120k base points before I hit 60 nights.

This may be a silly question but do you have until the end of calendar year to retain diamond, or does it extend through to end of the following March?

The gift that keeps giving. Neat that it now covers you for both Qantas and Virgin lounge access!

ZQN to SYD the choices were identical to when we flew SYD to ZQN. Chicken Parma and cheese/spinach tortellini. Both dishes were delicious. Both served with a plate of feta and dolmades, cheese and crackers and passionfruit cheesecake. Yes I know that's a lot of cheese! I prefer chicken breast...

Yeah well we were returning home and I said to my partner that it wouldn't be the end of the world if our flight was slightly delayed haha. I'd never have said that it we were en-route to our holiday destination but still it's a compliment all the same.
