Hi All, As some of you may remember I moved from OOL to MEL in February and have never looked back. Virgin was very lovely and held a small function so I could meet some of the Melbourne AFF locals. It was suggested a similar event could be held in a years time. So here's my proposal: 22nd...

This article on AFF caught my eye today: Sydney Airport lounge update: Virgin Australia/Etihad, Singapore Airlines, MAS - Flights | hotels | frequent flyer | business class - Australian Business Traveller It made me wonder if Etihad and Virgin are being so picky to find the right space for a...

Navitaire, the computer systems powering Checkin/Bookings/Boarding for Jetstar and Virgin has crashed. https://twitter.com/AshleyMcDermid/status/267044930285867009/photo/1 Who's stuck?

Just noticed this on Qantas.com Travel Security. Your Security and Safety at Qantas are Paramount.

On 28th October 2012, Qantas will do it's first commercial flight to the Gold Coast in nearly 5 years. I've spoke to a few AFF'ers over the past 24hrs about the flight. I think there's about 6 or 7 booked on it so far. Who's attending? Are we thinking of heading to samh004's house for the AFF6...

Thanks Virgin ;) Qantas returns to the Gold Coast Local Gold Coast News | goldcoast.com.au | Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia

Received this email from Virgin America today, they are introducing a Gold and Silver tier to their frequent flyer program, Elevate. I'll be watching it very closely to see if they start to align some benefits with Virgin Australia. At the moment, all you can do is earn points and status...

Is anybody stuck in BNE? According to Brisbane Airport's Twitter account https://twitter.com/BrisbaneAirport/status/225038348782288897

Hi All, I'm venturing over the pacific with Virgin Australia Long Haul later this month in Economy, it's been a while since I've flown on the 777 and can't quiet remember the best seats in Economy. Can any AFF'ers with any recent experience provide any tips? I'm currently in 20H, which seems...

I used the new revamped Virgin Australia Mobile Check in Service for the first time this morning for trip to Adelaide tomorrow. So far, I'm impressed. All I had to do is enter my PNR, and confirm my pre-selected seat, say no to dangerous goods and this was presented to me: At the same...

A friend called me up this morning, saying he was dropping off somebody at the airport and wanted to know if he was able to be guested in the lounge as the person flying held a J ticket. Without question I said that wouldn't be a problem, as I recall passengers in J with no status can take in...

The day before I flew into Hobart Priority Boarding was set up in Hobart, it looks good, staff say customers are having difficulty adjusting to it. But hopefully it works well, I'll update once I've used it on how it works. All I can hear around me is a group of people snickering, saying how...

Some of you that know me more personally might be aware I’ve recently started working for a new company called Flightfox. Flightfox is a platform for crowd-sourced (or human-powered) flight search, it works by each user starting contest by providing their trip details and committing a finder’s...

As discussed in this thread, http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/no-more-jq35-syd-mel-36571.html it appears JQ35 is changing times making F Lounge runs not as practical. Thinking about this, I believe it would only be appropriate to farewell JQ35 in...

Last week I travelled with a colleage, in 3A and 3C. When I went to look at the seat map 3B appeared to be occupied. I assumed somebody was sitting there. When I asked at the airport, I was told it had been blocked off. Same thing happened on the return journey that afternoon. When I used SYD...

Okay, so... Ordered a phone for a colleague today, to be added to our company account. Easy as I thought, she's already got an existing service with Optus, I'll just recontract her, and her iPhone will arrive tomorrow. iPhone arrives today at my desk only to find Optus put the order through as...

Anybody interested in seeing the airline comedian Pam Ann? Tickets go on sale soon. I'm thinking Melbourne? Thoughts?

Has anybody else noticed that the Priority Checkin Queue at Gold Coast Airport has started to get fairly crowded lately? There only seems to be one (two desks signed with Priority Checkin, but in practice the left desk serves those in the regular queue) for Priority Pax and is frequently busy...

To be honest, when the doors close, I put my phone on flight mode and stick it in my pocket. As long as I'm not openly using it during Taxi, Takeoff or Landing, I don't believe the crew will have a problem. They ask you to turn off electronic devices so that in the unlikely event of an...

I can't claim credit for creating this, but I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it. I'm thinking of buying one for Tony Hancock: http://www.redbubble.com/people/chrisjrn/works/8256504-the-velocity-plat-t-shirt?p=t-shirt
