    787-9 LA800 SYD to SCL

    And sometimes it works in your favour, when you check the seat map 72 hours out and there’s a new config.

    Hertz - Electric car fuel charge

    Yep we got downgraded from a Tesla to a BMW coupe with internal combustion engine by Sixt at Adelaide Airport - someone had crashed the Tesla. So we asked for the petrol charge to be waived on the BMW as the Tesla would have been free, and they agreed!

    Virgin Australia B737 Max 8

    That’s a choice VA has made regarding seats, nothing to do with airworthiness. SQ have flatbed J in their Max aircraft, which I will be flying from HAN-SIN later this year.

    Resilient is my middle name - Christmas with Virgin Voyages

    Just finished VV to Burnie - thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved how the staff are able to mingle with passengers and show some personality rather than being robots. Took a punt and purchased an open dated future cruise - let’s see if the 2025 season happens or if I’ll be off to the Med or Caribbean…

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    AmEx card in Apple Wallet not sufficient to enter lounge

    They had better not be relying on using their digital Amex for inflight payments onboard VA, as electronic wallets are not supported there either.

    Transit thru Changi

    Straight swap from QF award flight to another?

    That be the way to disaster. Murphys law will require that you cancel the FJ sector, the QF sector then vanishes while you wait, and then so does the FJ sectors when you try to salvage your original plan.

    OWA reward itinerary - QF responsibility when other carrier cancels a leg?

    This all makes sense and reflects the historic set up of dealing with bricks and mortar travel agents where sked changes are queued back to the agent to resolve on behalf of the customer with the ticketing carrier. Unfortunately the system doesn't seem well designed when you have in effect an...

    Urgent - made a huge mistake with Chile visa

    I seriously have to question how much the Chilean Government even looks at all of the documentation that AU citizens upload. I suspect it is all a facade to put AU citizens through what CL citizens have to do. I suspect it all goes in the bin basically. If you want to prove a point, just...
