    Snacks for every passenger on VA

    question for all: are people really paying the extra to get the in flight inclusions - is that what's attractive about a flexi? i would have thought the appeal was in more flexible fare rules, ability to upgrade to business etc...

    Virgin Australia’s free Wireless In-flight Entertainment system

    Re: Virgin Australia WIFI IFE Seems to me the product hasn't launched yet, it's still in a trial... which implies ongoing testing and improvement... so that it could be launched properly. It's not like VFF started this thread, we did. So shouldn't we wait for the launch before we criticise...

    Men's toilets at MEL Lounge

    excuse me?! the number of times that i have been in a bathroom (in Australia) and a male has been cleaning while i've been in there - granted it's not the norm, but it does happen, and to my knowledge there hasn't been any nationally-televised outrage... of course, you may have meant that in...

    Your recommended local (or O/S) currency exchange agencies / stores

    I've just returned from two weeks overseas, and while I was able to go to "my guy" here in Brisbane before I left, I found myself in the US googling for local fx traders with reasonable recommendations. I'm interested to know if any AFFers have hot tips on their preferred traders in Australia or...

    How does everyone here use their Velocity Miles?

    i just cashed a whole heap of mine in on some partner reward seats in april: LAX-SFO (VX Main Cabin Select :)), SFO-CUN (VX First :p!) and MSY-LAX (DL Y :-|). would have booked Y for all, but the higher classes were the only reward seats available on VX (SUCH a disappointment ;)). used points...

    Pics of Virgin Australia's 'The Club' (SYD and BNE)

    why would they need pastels in order to recognise female invitees? it's an aesthetic, it's not necessarily gendered! personally, the whole "softer colours for the softer gender" approach really bugs me (sorry, just getting up on my post-feminist high horse for a moment ;)) give me a beautifully...

    contemplating silver

    lol - i think it counts! it's my first status too ;) the free baggage is handy if you're on a saver fare, too. so maybe silver = save money on extras while you're on your way to gold?

    contemplating silver

    this is a great idea - but silvers already get advance seat selection, don't we?
