Indeed. Are we missing something on how to over ride that? How do we do that?

Try booking biz. Often the VA codeshare is hideous compared to the SQ.

I was also thinking of a quick visit to Manila as never been. JQ have a direct from PER around 800 dollars return. PR has a direct at around 900 dollars. Looking at biz fares and even with via a one stop shop...it's over 4K!! 🤭.

But is that the case when they are purchased separately (two PNRs)?

Good question. But if booked separately, surely it will be the two sets of points/credits? If booked as one PNR...what does the blurb say regarding the points/credits provided? I'm sure I had seen previously 125 SC for APW to SYD before.

I've maintained a BA Amex card for over 20 years when in UK for Avios and continued to maintain it when I moved to Australia 5 years ago. Recently Amex have asked me for "know your customer details" This also includes evidence of home address in UK and salary....albeit I am now retired from work...

Absolutely. I do also....and a lot of Brits also use this as routing to and from Australia.

Personally I am happy enough to revert to one world ops when at Bali and route Bali-Europe-Bali with one world on a cheaper biz fare. I would be grateful however with the added bonus of flying VA between PER and Bali and grabbing some status credit and points on that route as my "feeder" and...

This to me is a winner...and why I was so mad at VA not executing properly their "thoughts" of PER-DPS. Onward connections at good cost. .and a couple of days in Bali on the return.

The older config. With the divider definitely gives appearance and feel of more leg room . The middle seats are not great but window and aisle are ok although I have experienced middle pax leg spread unfortunately on the new. As plat and if in Y, I still think window and aisle ok for row 3 but...

The middle seats in Row 3 on the newer ones are pretty pants. I would not give them any money for that seat!!

The C919? Not heard anyone saying it's been on a visit there and seen no pics. Not seen (TransNusa) do PER-CGK

That's nice. Of course nothing from Perth! Nada! 🤭

Or just not bother! 🤭

Last night between MEL and PER I actually was able to watch "live tennis" on my phone without to much annoyance. Spooling did happen regularly but only for a few seconds on each occasion.

TBF to VA, a couple of.times the CSD has actually said to biz pax that they were going down the back but to call if required. Also on one recent sector they sent to the front one of the others who were down down the back...who subsequently did a fine job! 😁

As a result of my complaint, I have received quite a reasonable and sincere apology and 15,000 points. Hope they also discussed the matter with the CSD!

Bid 145 dollars from PER to MEL today not successful. Even at that price it's not worth it...🤭

The recognition of platinum does not bother me either really. .but upgrading a "pal" when plenty of other seats available well .he could have said to others with Platinum ..just take it. It's the abysmal service that gets me...bad CSD ..coughpy rest of them.as it gets harder to reach the dizzy...

No, no, no. That is so sad. I loved this place ...😫
