Question is.....how many? One or two.....or hundred of thousands? 😜

Just returned on ANZ PER-AKL-PER. Both flights on former Cathay 777 that seems to be pretty steady on the route at the moment. I liked it because the seating was the more "conventual" arrangement. Incidentally. The service received was top notch both ways.

Meanwhile on a 50 minute BA flight ....yes I think Australia is getting worse as a nanny state. Also I agree with earlier post about MH and the seat belt sign being on ....worse than SQ. 🫣..and all this not before noon in Aussie. Seriously!!

On 40+ aircraft. Wondering what the average age of the fleet will be come 2028!? 🤔

Still 250 dollars more expensive than VA return ex PER on most dates for me!

I can confirm it was definitely an assistance dog.

To be fair..I was probably outbid by a dog on my MEL-PER sector the other day. Yep it was in 2F. Okay maybe the handler in 2D had bought two seats (that would have been probably rather expensive) but the dog was rather the star .. obedient and quiet. It was on the floor. I sat in 3A... jealous!🤣🤣🫣

Yes I believe they know who you have actually booked through (finally). Also have you looked at Holiday Autos? Sometimes they do good one ways etc. Yeah they are charging for everything. I've now booked through Sixt. Much more transparent, can take car on ferries in the western islands of...

I've managed to retain Plat now relatively easily, and I had up to May 26 to do so. Without doubt using partner airlines even with the caveat especially equally from Perth is a good way to go. Both Singapore with SQ flight number, and Air NewZealand with VA flight numbers work pretty well in...

Just looked at booking a europcar with a so called discount of 15 percent at Glasgow Airport UK via Aussie site. Havingna laugh. Basic price is fine. Even through europcar their zero excess cost is ok. Then they offer additional protection at nearly 200 dollars if the car breaks down ...sorry is...

A few from the aviation museum hall in Auckland NZ. It's worth a visit if in the area.

That is indeed a very fair point. 😄

At the end of the day, looking at what people say and my own experiences for the serious FF, what is it that VA actually offers that makes the difference? Looking at their offerings: Limited lounge access across the network. Limited network. zero international lounges unless flying with...

Actually not a bad suggestion...I would.say though for those at Platinum (and above). 😄

It's typical VA. Looking at this thread. It's not even easy for everyone to actually find the "offer" once logged in etc. it's also as most people seem to be saying, are going to fall short of renewal in status by some margins further up the status chain, unlikely that max of 125 SC is going to...

I don't mind that so much....I just think that there are to many "free loaders" who can be invited in..especially those who are not actually flying!! What is the point of that? There are still to many people in the VA lounges more often than not.

So if you have earned enough already to.mainatin status at Platinum after March 2026 when reset comes with effect 01 April..what advantage does this offer those who really fly VA? Don't see any sweetener in this....

Does it not depend on how many points credits you have though above usual.platinum requirement to maintain before you can gift gold? I'm sure actually under the more recent "enhancements" they even increased that amount required.

Can you check in using ANZ app when booked under VA code share? I am a little nervous as when you go through the process in the ANZ app it asks for.FF number and in the drop.down.does not include VA...however recognises that the flight is booked under a VA flight number. Can you "double dip"?🫢...
