    Velocity Points Programme & flights to USA

    Polaris Lounge @ SFO is the best I've experienced, however the sit down dining option does get busy, and the buffet is still a reasonable alternative. Catering on UA isn't awful either. Sure it's not SQ, but it ain't JQ! In all seriousness, the lunch ex-Australia is fairly decent but breakfast...

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    No WiFi or IFE on VH-VOL this evening. CM was quite proactive, advising pax on the ground in SYD to download whatever they'd like to watch/listen to whilst on ground...

    Brisbane Premium Lounge Entry

    With the works ongoing at BNE, you have to go outside the terminal to get through security. The Premium Entry is now after security and you walk back past it and then up the escalators that were previously the "down" escalators outside Gate 41. Premium Entry hasn't been open any time that we've...

    I hate the coffee ordering kiosk in the VA Brisbane lounge

    Yep. VA Lounge...since September-ish (that's when I took my pic)

    I hate the coffee ordering kiosk in the VA Brisbane lounge

    Admittedly when they initially had two self-serve kiosks running this was much quicker than the current situation of only one kiosk working. Having said that, this beats the hell out of the prior AM peak hour shermozzle of two people working the coffee machines and one of them stopping every 4-5...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Mrs Hawk and I did BNE-SYD yesterday mid-afternoon (1535 departure). PDB's of OJ and still water were there pre-prepped on the tray. We were on one of the ex-Silk Air birds, so no divider however our CM was quite vigilant in firmly turning back the 2 or 3 who tried to use the J lav. Meal offer...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Fair enough. For a while there I thought it had gone back to 1AC-1DF-2AC-2DF, however 🤷‍♂️ Having said that, Mrs Hawk and I are doing BNE-SYD tomorrow in J, so let's see how it goes.

    It all comes back to staffing. If the lounge isn't staffed appropriately and managed (as well) then things like this don't get done. Keep sending feedback people.

    Brisbane Premium Lounge Entry

    Whilst YMMV, my recent experience with the Premium queue at VA has been excellent. Rarely more than 7 or 8 in it, which MAY be because the Premium sign is stashed to the wall side and the "Assistance" sign is much more prominent. 😎 Unfortunately the Premium Lounge entry has been shut outside of...

    Cancellation fee for duplicate flight booking

    Still better than REX'S denial (admittedly many years ago) to refund ANY of my incorrectly booked SYD-ABX when I meant to book ABX-SYD 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Agreed, VA should be better. By contrast, Mrs Hawk and I went BNE-SYD & return last weekend in J - both without a divider - and not a single invader (for want of a better word) from Y. As always, YMMV. 🤷‍♂️
