    Change to Qantas Lounge Pass Transfers Effective July ‘26

    Hmm... interesting thought. That is what the Velocity Amex card has done, isn't it? (provided access to VA lounges).

    Wise debit card

    Oh, I thought it was increasing the ATM withdrawal limit, but could be wrong. I didn't get the Wise card to do ATM Withdrawals, so haven't really ever paid attention to those conditions, but was vaguely aware the limits existed. I used this card for the "lock in the rate now" feature and then...

    Wise debit card

    Changes to the ATM withdrawal fees and limits on Wise card from 1 May, 2026 (received the email on 18 Feb, but haven't gotten around to finding this thread to post...

    Change to Qantas Lounge Pass Transfers Effective July ‘26

    Yes this almost aligns QF with what VA have had for a long time. Can’t transfer passes and pretty much useless for Status pax with generous gifting allowances already.

    No More International Lounge Access on Jetstar Flights (except QF codeshare/JQ business max)

    Sorry, haven’t read all 6 pages so far, apologies if already raised/covered. The wording says passengers wanting to access the lounge can book a Jetstar domestic flight. Do they consider a SYD-CNS flight a domestic flight still then, even if it departs from the international terminal? It’s...

    Virgin General Booking Policy Glitch

    Ghost document for me on Safari on iPhone. Would be interesting if different PDF readers or versions are able to show it but others not.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Qantas used to do this all the time on CNS departures. Departure between 4-5pm, land in Sydney close to or after 8pm (DST) and only a snack served in J & Y.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I call them the “Trouble pop-o-matic bubble” game-board trays for this reason….

    Velocity Chief Nick Rohrlach departs in management shakeup

    Yes, though similarly in this context, people would say they are a Bunnings customer, not a Wesfarmers customer, despite one owning the other.

    New VA bag tags 2026

    I can’t find the paperwork that came with mine right now, but am pretty sure I read somewhere where it said something odd like, “enjoy using these tags for your carry on luggage”, but yes, agree that it is a departure from their previous issue of luggage tag, and thought exactly as you when they...

    New VA bag tags 2026

    They’re not intended for checked-in luggage: only carry-on bags.

    Virgin Australia Platinum Plus Status Discussion

    Was it a flexi or choice fare, if you don’t mind me asking?

    New VA bag tags 2026

    Yeah I got one for P+ and LTG within a few weeks of each other toward the end of 2025. Interesting that it is “multi-year” Platinums only.

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    Yes quite a few of the Cairns hotels have minimum 3 night stay… must be the Remote Australia rule listed above.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Va776 CNS-BNE yesterday departing 9:15. Breakfast served. Eggs, sausage, beans and potatoes as above. Alternate option was pancake stack. Orders taken 1AC (us: P+ & P), 2DF, 1DF and then 2AC. Saw quite a few serves of the egg meal come out, but didn’t see what everyone got. I’d already moved...

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Shower curtain on yesterday’s flight from CNS-BNE. Think rego was VH-IJQ. It was deployed during the flight though the crew advised that only one toilet was serviceable down the back, so they allowed some pax to come through during peak use.

    The Flightradar24 appreciation thread

    Oh only just saw these posts. Yes, it was really heavy set in rain this morning up here… very low visibility all round. Not surprised there was a few go-rounds.

    Virgin Australia Platinum Plus Status Discussion

    In addition to the P+ bag tag and card, I also received this week a Forever Gold bag tag and metal card (gold). Interesting that they sent out both, instead of waiting until any higher status subsided (as QF do, I believe, if you attain LTG while Platinum). Also found it interesting that they...

    I'm stepping down from the AFF editor role

    Are you encouraging @Mattg into the dark arts and wizardry of yield management @JessicaTam…? 🤣 His pure white soul will be stained with the darkness, (but if we all benefit, does that make it right? 😆)
