    Two month trial of Platinum Plus

    I've been meaning to report back on our recent trip, which was first time for me with the new upgraded status. VIP was printed on my boarding pass. I had used my (previously-earnt) Platinum Partner bonus to upgrade my wife's status back to Platinum from Gold. We were travelling CNS-BNE-CNS in...

    Qantas to No Longer offer a Points option for Loyalty Bonus

    Ok, let’s imagine you’re the person signing off on the design and you have to consider if 180 people are potentially going to die or not in an emergency… how quick will you sign that document?

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    And wasn’t the Qantas divider previously a full curtain anyway on the B737s, so I also don’t quite understand the ins & outs of the approval process and potential delays that are being reported.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Yes but remember with many of these type of approval things, just because one country approves something and has it in regular use, doesn’t mean another will just accept that same approach. Rightly or wrongly, they would want to do their own review and approval process. Fairly common in government.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Wouldn’t they be looking at safety issues like does it obstruct evacuation procedures, can everyone watch the safety briefing etc ?

    Two month trial of Platinum Plus

    I noticed on my upcoming bookings that my status is showing as "VIP". I wonder if this is where access to Beyond lounge is being granted - possibly there is no disctinction between Beyond member status (VIP) and Platinum Plus (VIP) member status in VA's system, and therefore, "computer says...

    Cairns-based East Air launches Cairns to Hamilton Island, adds Dash 8s

    Now watch QF dump capacity and drop airfares on any potential competing routes, bleed the competition to death and then revert to usual programming of squeezing the most dollar out of travellers 🤣

    Suggested credit card for points?

    I use the Virgin Money High Flyer Velocity Visa card as my primary VA earning card now. Gave up the Virgin Amex during COVID and haven’t gone back to it - converted it to Platinum Edge and now also have the Platinum card to allow for conversions to Velocity.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Have you never had a conversation with someone on the ASD spectrum…. Would make entire sense. (And being frank, some/most members would fall someone along the spectrum - it is a spectrum after all…) 😉😂

    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”,
