Well a legacy Australian connection at least, Aesop is owned by L’oreal these days sadly.

Wow sounds like you encountered an untrained agent, so sorry to hear and sorry for your loss. I also sadly had to use this recently and QF could not have been more helpful, because we were travelling last minute to NZ on school hols (almost no seats) the flights were $$$ so the 10% was...

What are MEL Airport building in T1 then…. ?Near the QF pier A Gate 1, it’s boarded up and I thought it had words to the effect of ‘terminal connector or T1/2 connection or something’. Tired eyes when I walk past it but I’m sure it was something like that.

Lightning just struck twice for me. Second one for this season. Mel-Syd. I’ve been doing a tonne of international J flying on QF metal & code so think my PCV will be pretty high at the moment, unsure if this helps but just for the data point.

Heard this also that there are resources coming to ‘enforce and ensure passenger compliance’. Jetstar has certainly shown them the way they use the stick, it’s really not that hard for Virgin to replicate. But there are also reports that this was happening anyway from posters on AFF, although...

Slightly OT but from a colleague with connections at UA, apparently their AU flights are struggling… which reflects some of the commentary in this thread on many planes going out less than half full. I wonder if this means UA service cut backs are on the horizon too.

Damn was hoping they’d have something easier up by now. Was trying to work out if was worth getting VA plat, but when costing it up the VA codeshares in J to EU are so expensive, will probably give a miss. It’s QF/EK the cheapest then CX, QR now. If anyone has an abacus handy, if I fly QR code...

Does velocity have a points calculator? Trying to work out if I can be bothered doing VA codeshares to EU in J, but trying to work out how many points / status credits I will earn doesn’t appear to be simple…

So interesting that Virgin have let this slip so much, just as Qantas has used tech to competently fix theirs…VA should really look at tech enforced boarding groups IMHO - it’s obvious the staff are of the thinking just jam them all on at same time to get a OTD… Once again out of SYD on VA (but...

The comments are the best part…. (Although I feel terribly sorry for the passengers stuck on that piece of junk!); “When Virgin said they were a budget airline, nobody thought the toilets would be cut from the budget.” “They should change the slogan to: ‘Virgin Australia — taking the piss...

Just saw it on no news…. Multiple people apparently soiled themselves… 😧

I thought I’d share this, perhaps it’s linked to the Velocity devalualtion / softening business bookings etc etc but our Virgin Account Manager approached our Procurement team as they’ve noticed a drop off of our bookings with Virgin. (Note our total domestic travel is actually +18% so clearly...

CX still don’t have them in J right?

I think MEL got the inaugural A220 flight as well from memory. I guess the plane is named after Victoria too.

Would hard blocked show as a block on EF or occupied out of interest? Looking at my first flight, looks like all F seats are ‘occupied’ sadly…. Won’t bother going to airport T-3 hours if they’ve already been allocated to diamonds…..

Have they announced the inaugural first flight route?

Hopefully they are similar to the new QF A220 fleet which I find really comfortable (for Y). The new VA737 seats I find very very hard and on a slightly odd angle for me. I haven’t flown NZ Y for a very long time so couldn’t compare!

Thank you, looks like I’ll be heading to support to be there right on T-3 hours (MEL)…!

For benefit of anyone trying, I tried to call up - no dice. Interestingly told that F is reserved for those travelling with infants 😂 Will try at OLCI.

Don’t suppose you’ve ever tried calling ahead of OLCI to beg? :) I try to minimise time at airports… but might have to break that rule if can’t use OLCI!
