    Filling in some gaps in Spain, a Greenland cruise and I'm getting a tattoo!

    Are you predicting the collapse of society and reversion to centuries of abandoned cities? 😆😂

    Qantas-call centre good service

    Everyone has to take a dump everyday... doesn't mean it's a pleasant experience for everyone each time. Just something that has to be done.

    Qantas-call centre good service

    Sadly, these days, the title of this thread is the definition of an oxymoron when it comes to the vast majority of experience for Qantas customers.

    Is anyone here good at identifying an aircraft type from looking at photos of major components?

    Does RSD stand for “Real Signals Directorate”, does it? You know, like celebrities who have handles like “theRealPersonX”,

    ExpertFlyer beta program - April 2025

    At least it sounds like they are doing testing 😆

    Free upgrade to Economy X (I stole someone's seat)

    Glad to hear that VA proactively “upgraded” a status member to YX for free rather than just filling empty seats, including YX with late comers (non status) that hadn’t selected a seat previously. And yeah, I have friends that try the window/aisle trick with the hope of a free seat. My...

    Skiplagging on VA

    Yeah when VA flew SYD-LAX, it was often a trick to fly to NZ and then book NZ-SYD-LAX to get a better price. Just had to suffer the flights back and forth across the Tasman… but fortunately we’re a bunch of Frequent Fliers who don’t mind that kind of thing 😆.

    Skiplagging on VA

    (Just to clarify, I don’t need to do this, I was just interested to see the difference in price. I was doing this research for another thread where they were debating how SCs are now calculated for multi-sector fares… )

    Skiplagging on VA

    Based on how I thought VA's fares for multi-city worked, I thought skiplagging wouldn't ever save any money on VA. However, doing a quick search recently for a flight, and I discovered some strange combos. Would others ever consider using skiplagging to save some money? E.g. direct CNS-BNE is...

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Weight versus Item count has always miffed me… sure, I get that weight sometimes becomes a WHS issue, but the volume of a bag 7kgs v 10kgs is often the same. I guess that’s the US item model isn’t it where they are unlimited in weight ISTR.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    You need to travel on JAL domestic J then to discover they only offer a glass of water ISTR. Oh sorry, it’s actually either a hot or cold beverage in their J Class.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Thanks, so just over a quarter with the divider still. But I assume slowly diminishing…? I think it’s still a bit misleading to present that image as their standard offering these days.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    What’s their total 737 fleet count at the moment? (I’m too lazy to look it up sorry)

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    VA offer free food and snacks in Business class…. In comparison to the local domestic J competition, prices can be very economical too and IME (and comparing the postings on the relevant Business class meals threads here) the food offerings in J seem to be a higher quality of presentation and...

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Screen shot of a video advertising VA Business Flyer program on LinkedIn. Talk about almost false, misleading and deceptive advertising showing an aircraft with the divider still. What percentage of their aircraft actually still have this?

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Is that ironic or what… Google, the tool that helps you find anything about everything and anyone is now admitting that someone else can now find out everything about you 😆😂

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    I've always wondered what they mean when the CSM announces "If there's anything we can do to make your flight more comfortable, don't hesitate to ask...". I guess it means you can ask, but doesn't mean they will always attempt to make your flight more comfortable... As usual, it really does...

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    Does my earlier post help clarify what was or wasn't included in my count in relation to what yours may be? https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/velocity-introduces-forever-gold-lifetime-status-tier.115683/post-2772486

    Inflight theft

    They're very quick to point out it was foreigners, aren't they... as if locals would never commit any crime ever.

    Drrons off to Asia with Lifemiles.

    Would that be the difference between "jam" and "conserve"...? 🤷‍♂️
