    Sydney Airport train line sudden strike 14th February 2025

    While I sympasise with train workers and wanting to get a fair wage, they are asking for simply too much, ultimately a lot of them will get automated away anyway, we should expedite that.

    Book an SQ flight by 24/2/25 and earn 50% bonus Velocity points

    Anything good to Europe in J? Also does anyone know why in google flights it always says "price unavailable" for Singapore Airlines nowdays?

    General Virgin Australia discussion

    Nope! The same cough I had in Sydney last night 🤣 This is such a very obvious area of improvement, they need to get a move on.

    How to pre-purchase WiFi for Qatar Flights?

    Ah yep, the aircraft had starlink so I just connected to the wifi, no probs. Had about 120mb/s (down south) with 32ms ping, amazing.

    How to pre-purchase WiFi for Qatar Flights?

    Hi I see ads/notices to pre-purchase the wifi and save 20% (and in any case I think it's not a bad idea rather than hassle of having to buy it onboard). However not on their website nor in the app is there any way to do it, in the add on services there is only eSIM. Does anyone know how to do...

    General Virgin Australia discussion

    I'm just at the new/renovated Adelaide lounge, it looks absolutely insane, I don't think I've ever in my life seen a lounge this beautifully designed and outfitted, it looks absolutely spectacular. Which is also why it's comical how poor the food is given how nice the lounge looks, heh.

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    I received another email today, it said between 17th of June and 11th July (the first time I saw any reference to dates), and still the price to EU return is over 10k, absolute rubbish, not a sale at all. Also, it's a very short time-frame for the sale, 3 weeks essentially?

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    Anything good? I was looking June - August, can't find any J QR availability at all for reward (but often saw some SQ) to Europe, and for cashies, nowhere does it give airports and dates and indicative prices, very annoying. I haven't searched much but couldn't find anything good. Kind of an...

    Australian Open 2025

    Both the finals were great, Sinner is just not another level for now, however the match was actually closer than the scoreline might indicate. I really enjoyed the AO, a very good experience, highly recommend !

    Can you taste the difference between different winery locations?

    I can definitely taste it, and could probably pick the region, if I've been drinking a lot of wine in the last month 🤣 otherwise maybe not, but for sure I think you can definitely tell that they taste quite different regardless.

    Australian Open 2025

    Going to Melbourne now, going to catch week one's action, I think it's better due to the ground passes, and a bunch of stadium games most nights. Bit of a bucket list thing, pretty excited to go.

    Possible with mixed class award (PE and J) on Singapore with Velocity?

    Yes, but you have to book separately, and the points (and cash) cost will be a bit higher. I'm not sure if you can call up and ask them to arrange it as one ticket, but it's worthwhile trying.

    Credit card insurance - Outside of Australia?

    1, 2 & 3 - please read the PDS, I cannot emphasise enough how important that is, every insurance product is different, and the conditions and coverage are different. For my AMEX card for example, I believe (don't remember myself, but I'd check) that you have X number of days (say 90), from the...

    Single ticket to Europe with an overnight layover in ADL

    And since it's overnight presumably it's fine if I leave the airport to stay at a hotel and come back. What about issuing tickets, will the intl legs be issued in ADL also, right?

    Single ticket to Europe with an overnight layover in ADL

    Hello I have a VA (reward) ticket from SYD to AMS with an overnight layover in ADL first ( SYD -> ADL -> MEL -> DOH -> AMS ). My question is, what happens to the luggage overnight? Does it stay with the airline in the airport, or do I collect it at ADL and then re-check in the next morning for...

    General Virgin Australia discussion

    I just assumed they have 3 groups of bags, and they aggregate them per group. 1. Connecting bags (loaded last, come out first) 2. Priority bags 3. All other (maybe in some sort of order or reversed of when they checked in)

    Virgin Australia to lease more 737s

    Saw a 737M flying over yesterday, much more quiet than the 800s and 700s, that's very good for me living close to the airport.

    EY plane stuck on runway at MEL for 14 hours after tyres burst

    But why would they be breaking on take-off? So I mean, the real actual reason for the aborted take-off is still unknown?

    EY plane stuck on runway at MEL for 14 hours after tyres burst

    That's a bit off, so they aborted takeoff because two tires just randomly burst?
