VA908 BNE-SYD this morning. I was pleasantly surprised by the beep beep at the gate and being told I was not longer in 3A.
Got to the end of the airbridge to see zero queue, and was welcomed onboard. J was full and our delightful CM was offering OJ and water as PDB.
Once airborne, the offering...
By my reading you appear to be correct, as a Lite fare gives you nothing (unless purchased) and Choice or Flex give you 2 x 23kg bags. Unfortunately I don't you'd get much more than a cut and paste response if you complained though. 😑
In BNE for the next 30 minutes, can guest 3. Pretty quiet (for AM peak), however coffee line is long and the automatic machine is broken 😪
Chipolatas and scrambled eggs on the menu this morning.
Spot. Freaking. On.
Poor performance in baggage handling through and post-COVID also means that most travellers don't want to take the risk of their bags going to another destination, even if a "free" checked bag or two is included with the ticket.

In SYD lounge until VA989, can guest two.
On the menu tonight, Chipotle chicken sliders with onion rings, vegetable biriyani with samosas, or chicken and corn soup.
Not a bad layout tonight and lounge is about half-full.
Onboard VA954 at the moment...departed 80" late courtesy of unknown reasons (although weather in BNE has been poor today), then turned back to BNE after an hour in the air as SYD is closed due to storms 😑
3pm (958) and 4pm (962) BNE-SYD services were cancelled as well - and 5pm (970) is showing...
In BNE lounge for an hour (or until 954 departs...), can guest 2.
Turkey and cranberry on long rolls, fruit mince tarts, split pea soup on offer today.
Quite quiet, which is always good :)
