    Virgin launches new advertising campaign...

    No, I can't believe any commercial company that wants to be taken seriously does a survey that way. That's infantilising your customer base to the extreme and fairly insulting. Or is it because the internal staff handling the feedback can't process anything beyond an emoticon? Either way, it's...

    Virgin launches new advertising campaign...

    Useless. Means nothing, communicates nothing. Typical ad creatives bullshit brainstormed over a morning sess of lattes and protein balls. As cheesy as their old airline (DJ) image was, the ads were at least clever, interesting and watchable. They should go back to that agency/formula.

    VA halts plan for 737 lie-flat business class.

    To be honest I've been following VA since the Borghetti era (almost a decade) watching all the changes and seen most of them come to nothing (in terms of profit) so.... 1. Not surprised at all by the announcement. Mildly surprised the idea wasn't canned outright. 2. The days of change are imo...

    Dirt around air vents

    You should have said something, the FA would have gotten a cleaning wipe and fixed the issue.

    Dirt around air vents

    Typically a cleaner comes on with a bottle of spray stuff, squirts it, wipes it with a chux. Done.

    New business class for VA 737 [deferred]

    It's more likely going to come down to aircraft rotation schedules than anything else. Trascon services will have to fit around the New HKG schedule which may not make redeye flights all that possible on 330 anymore.

    EconX centre vs non-X window/aisle?

    Unless it's a centre seat in either exit rows or row three I would go aisle in a regular row. The extra inch of legroom wouldn't be doing it for me. Too much hassle to get up and go to the loo if required.

    New business class for VA 737 [deferred]

    Wow, even more disappointing than anticipated. I thought they might launch by March 2018 and possibly reveal by Oct 2017.

    Alliance Replaces Virgin on PQQ-BNE

    Well at least PQQ get a double daily. That's more than I expected.

    EK FA reusing champagne

    Yep and nevermind industry people are constantly photographed and have video's of them taken at work by every dick and his dog. Honestly where else do you have randoms looking over your shoulder while you work, eat, rest and recording it all on iPhones for later upload to a social media site...

    Economy X [Domestic free for Platinum] - May 2017

    I would not be surprised if they don't install any more of them. Why bother? Since the instigator of that initiative has now been ousted perhaps they don't wish to push the product, or intend to just leave it as a WP perk *subject to availability.

    Wingly takes off

    I'd have too many safety concerns to be making use of this one. But I'm sure some people will go for it and if a light aircraft is flying around anyway, it may as well ferry more than just one person.

    VA Gift Cards at Supermarkets

    As in what exactly? Since you've already gone down the road of character assassination you may as well complete the attempt.

    VA Gift Cards at Supermarkets

    Never understood the appeal of GC's to be honest. The receiver knows exactly how much you spent and now that money is locked into a set expenditure pattern devaluing it. Just give them the cash instead, it's more useful and costs the same. It would be a different story if you received more $$...

    Economy X [Domestic free for Platinum] - May 2017

    This is the problem with variable products onboard. It's simple enough to tell someone to get out of business class, it's a separate cabin, it's obvious. But with seats who's only difference is a sticker in the overhead locker and an extra inch of legroom, most numpty's are not going to...

    Airbus Modular Concept

    I really don't see how they are going to install a restaurant, day spa or whatever and have the same seating density as a standard cabin with rows of seats. While I think their aims are interesting I really don't see this concept as being anything except a low density aircraft fitout model, and...

    Yep get it while it's hot folks.

    VA to HKG from Jul 5 2017, ex MEL

    I have every confidence that VA will do with this route what they do with all routes deemed not profitable, should it go in the same direction. ;) How much of a go they give it is anyones guess but they dont have the $$ to fly an unprofitable route for long.

    New business class for VA 737 [deferred]

    Since VA have described their new 737 J as "a quantum leap in domestic business class", what would constitute a quantum leap for you? Personally I can't imagine anything installed on a single aisle aircraft to represent a quantum leap. VA has already set the bar at lie flat with the A330 so...

    Bottles of water in J

    Doubt it's a trial since it would make no difference to VA cost wise to do that, cheaper to pour a glass in fact. Maybe you were offered the bottle in J as it was close to pushback time? FA didn't have time to pour or similar.
