Ofcourse some European countries have been using ID cards for travel for years where appropriate between like minded countries. Then the debate starts .."but, but, but, I don't want an ID card"..blah blah.

Certainly a very easy source of revenue for little return ...like many things as I am learning in Australia! 🤔

No excuse though for having the most expensive passport going.

I think the issue here is the attitude of the staff member. Perhaps they should be reported in some form of feedback. Should.never get away with an attitude of disinterest. Perhaps a job change suggestion is next! I've only done fly ahead once...at ADL. In biz. Worked wonderfully.

I see that once again somehow Australia seems to think that it deserves the title of the world most expensive passport? Why? It's ridiculously expensive for such a low population and not exactly the world most desirable...

Sigh...wish this was from PER. Might consider via MEL though as a points run ....🤔

Just booked JQfor a few days next year (first visit for me) and even the wife is coming,!! Decent times ex PER and back again. Bali max fare for 700 odd dollars return each. Extra leg room seats secured. Now just to find where to stay with own pool without breaking the bank. Ubud or Seminyak? 🤔

I like it...different colours on different aircraft ..they always did try to be "different". Once took one of their stretched 757s from Málaga to Dusseldorf...always remember the flight deck announcement of " welcome onboard our 757 to Dusseldorf powered by Condor".

All of them....overpriced! 😕

From Perth there are about 10 flights a day in peak...so arrival and departure times are certainly of choice! (All LCC naturally)!

Ah yes. But hard to justify a direct flight in 3 hours for 800 dollars against a SQ route via SIN for 4,000 dollars in J. SQ are about 900 dollars return down the back for the route on around 11 hours.

Has anyone actually flown TransNusa? Plenty saying the would not but not seen any first hand experience reports. Still thinking Bali direct from PER. Choice is Jetstar, Air Asia. BATIK, TransNusa. Maybe shudder at them all!! 🤪. Routing via SIn or KUL etc not an option for what is a 3 hour flight...

Yeah although I had thought that the number of credit cards that allow for that access had been reduced...however I guess not!

No more flying this year either 😕 And I've spent a total of 70 hours in the sky, covering an impressive 30,198 kilometres across our destinations. Virgin Australia flights you earned a total of 60,224 Velocity Points and 500 Status Credits and additional 78,846 Velocity Points and 280 Status...

Nothing wrong with free pour...many lounges offer it. Also it's ridiculous having to Q at Aussie lounges (well done within VA) just to get a beer!! The pics show how BA do it!..and no ne of this "oh dear it's not noon yet nonsense". !🤪

I think both VA and QF are poor generally (although I don't actually mind the VA sparkling). Lost opportunity though ...so many great vineyards in Australia. You would think they would have some bargaining power with Barossa Valley, Swan Valley, Tasmania. It would be a nice way forward as in all...

Used the ADL lounge today at lunch time. I was quite impressed. Large amount of wraps well filled. A tasty butter chicken curry with poppadoms, chutney and fluffy rice (cooked nice). Mac and cheese and soup. All monitored and re stocked as appropriate. I had thought that this lounge receives...

PER-ADL yesterday tea time flight..successful 85 dollars.

And in Perth lounge ...no self service available (has to be asked for) and they will.only serve one glass at a time even if the second glass i s for seated partner. For heavens sake how pathetic can VA get!! Nanny state in the lounge next!!

I'll also add that if being bussed to the aircraft at Doha for the leg to Europe, in business class you are called last (economy gets called first to the buses). You have your own business class passenger bus. If at gate for immediate boarding via air bridge I can't recall who boards first as...
