    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    Exactly. In other words, a gimmick for marketing, but in reality, people don't want to do yoga in a lounge.

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    I think the fact the wellness zone in the new Perth lounge has already been dumped tells you how much of a gimmick all the Qantas focus on wellbeing really is!

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Well, a pleasant surprise in my inbox today with VFF extending my Silver status for another year even though I was about 20 SC's short. I was fully expecting to complete the sad slide from Platinum to Red at the end of this month. On top of the program changes, life circumstances changed a lot...

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    It just means at least one person has bid more. But there may be more than one seat. At +25 I'd leave my bid there in this circumstance.

    What’s the most difficulty you’ve had with getting a visa?

    Chile. Awful experience. Will never go back until they change the process. Gave me a taste of what Australia puts other countries through. The highlight was having to pay via a bank transfer to a bank account of the Melbourne based consulate.

    The lithium battery problem has hit Australia - fire on Domestic Flight

    I'm going to ask the stupid question... are we relying on people following the rules to not pack these batteries in checked baggage or is there some kind of screening once the bag is checked in?

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    It could be the black pepper chicken if it's not the teriyaki according to the winter menu, and yes that is the cheese tortellini with the optional chicken on top

    Virgin 737-8 Max Business Class - No Divider

    I'm sure their parent/s found it hilarious too and were helpful in stopping that unnecessary behaviour :rolleyes: A few times is fine, but not the whole flight or an extended period.

    Virgin Australia "Last Flight Club" promo

    I think you missed the point... 😅 Perhaps not the type of promotion aimed at you 😉 I'd definitely consider this, even being based in Melbourne, IF there wasn't a new puppy at home. $290 (at the lite fare) for those events is a steal and it'd make a great story.
