And we are all miners waiting to see if you’ll sing 😆

I don't particularly mind what other people do with information/data they have access to and where they share that info. When you work at an airport for the airport owner (which is an assumption I've made about where aegeanflyer is working, but I might be wrong), then you have access to...

I'd hate to be a party-pooper, but if you work at Perth Airport, you have access to commercially-senstive information, which you probably should be careful what you share in a public forum. Pax numbers on flights is quite a commercially-sensitive topic - perhaps review your confidentiality...

Qantas has announced a Travel Fund for Business Reward accounts. Similar to VA's Travel Bank, seems you can cancel fares to the Travel Fund and then have flexibility to use those funds at a later time in a flexible manner, without the previous PNR re-book restrictions. It will be interesting...

Just take the reports along to the dinner and have the other members help you grade your students. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with that approach…? Great TR. you brought back memories of my trip to DC & NYC 10 years ago. (How time flies).

My wife’s uncle always gifts what he calls “Universal Gift Vouchers”… we commonly refer to it as “Cash”. 😂

I had the BNE VA Lounge entry staff tell me once that food from outside the lounge was not permitted, and I seem to recall this may have been during covid when the food offerings in the lounge were very slim. I can’t recall what my reaction was to them, but I’d never heard such a rule before and...

I think what some people fail to appreciate is the potential “silent” 1000 are fed up with “woke vegan” everything… so if the question was “do you want to get rid of vegan chocolate”, of course the people who don’t feel they are allowed to loudly express their anti-woke opinions are going to...

CNS-BNE on Saturday 21st. Chicken something. Tasted nice though the rice was a bit dry and wasn’t quite enough of the yoghurt to add to the moisture of the dish overall. But it was pleasant enough. Other option was veggie pasta something with optional chicken. The two ppl in 2A&C who ordered...

I always choose 1A & 1C on the basis that I think, as two Platinums, there’s a higher chance we will be served first, and fairly sure it’s happened that way. Sometimes I’d prefer to choose row 2 so not to be at the bulkhead, but don’t want to risk the roulette of whether our status on fare...

If it’s good for the customer experience, is it a bad thing? Some of the best companies in the world thrive on allowing individual employee innovation. I’ve heard that 3M historically allowed employees to work on projects to demonstrate new ideas/products. If the project is a success, the...

The trays on VA domestic business ended up developing a bit of a bubble/bulge, so the plates don’t sit flat on the tray. Ends up being a bit like playing that board game Trouble with “the pop-o-matic bubble” when you press the knife down to cut your food. I guess that was possibly from cheaper...

Yeah I take the changes to mean that you’ll be assessed on how many status credits you earned at your next review date, not necessarily how you earnt them (notwithstanding the new rule about how many you earnt individually), and that the number of sectors won’t be a factor considered at all.

EK F & J working. SQ all classes working. (For some searches I have saved.)

I feel naked not being able to look up seat maps for upcoming flights. It was the feature I used the most. When QF started not being available once check-in window opened, that was a real inconvenience. Not being able to see seat maps in advance at all is devastating 😭

EK not working either.

I logged into my Velocity account Tuesday night and submitted a query through the "Submit Feedback" option under Contact us and had a reply within 12 hours. (Not sure what all the shouting is about.) As per @Mattg, they told me the total points earned "for your flights with Virgin Australia"...

Yeah, just found the T&C fine print on the updates page... it does exclude most of the items I had guessed about (flybuys, credit card bonuses etc.) but no mention of DSCs... I went back and did some more calcs removing more historical DSCs, and I might be closer to a bit under 12K than I was...

Overall, while it is always disappointing to have negative changes, I'm not too disappointed with these changes. I'm glad Eligible Sectors is no longer required. Lately, DSCs and Family pooling was easily getting my the SCs requal, but stretched to even get 8 flights annually lately, without a...
