Thanks, will send a PM 😊

Would love one if possible :) I'll send a DM

Hi folks, managed to book CMB-SIN-CDG in J early next month with Velocity points. For the long leg on the 777, obviously the coveted row 11 seats are blocked for the time being and row 15 is completely greyed out. I selected 16K under the impression there'd be two windows at my seat, but from a...

As a point of interest, I recently flew VA J from AKL to MEL and had about five hours to spare before a separate Tiger flight to ADL. I have no status. Asked the VA lounge angel very politely whether I could crash out for a few hours, well aware I'd have to keep an eye on the time and make it to...

Re: VA points for kWhs I haven't posted on here in ages, but just thought I'd mention I signed up for this deal shortly after it launched (about two years ago). All points have posted in a timely fashion and my bills have all been reasonable. Hence, I had no reason to cancel at the end of the...

Re: Virgin on board wifi [/LIST] What the?!

re: VA invests in Tiger, buys Skywest, SQ investment & ACCC Concerns Interesting times ahead indeed. I think the best thing the Tiger brand has going for it now is a reputation for offering the lowest fares in the market. They have the low headline fare and are generally recognised by the...

Just booked ADL-DRW return (flexi) and used just under 10,000 points to upgrade to J over the phone. The amicable agent ran through the benefits of upgrading to Business (like I didn't know already!) but I was surprised to be told I couldn't pre-allocate seats until 14 days out. Is this really...

Considering booking ADL-SYD (DJ 401) and SYD-DRW (DJ 1351) or the same pairing back (DJ 1354 and DJ 444) in flexi to upgrade with half the points. Has anyone had any experience of the food service on the longer DRW sector? Is it indeed a 3 course meal?

Re: Virgin Mobile/Velocity: 4,000 bp's, 3per$ and 10% fare rebate - posting experince Earlier this year I entered my second 24 month contract with Virgin on the back of this sweetener. Personally I've never had any issues with Optus coverage but my points posting experiences haven't all been...

I did too. This merely increases the inconsistency of product offerings across the DJ network! But it's certainly a step in the right direction. I think it's only a matter of time before we see full catering for J and Y across the board.

Let's be positive - while phase one may well not be a game changer and definitely inferior to a seat-back solution, if phase two is indeed going to involve fleet-wide wireless internet access then I'm all for it. Their strategy certainly makes sense financially and quite frankly, if they invent...

Eagerly await full integration of the Velocity website into the new virginaustralia.com.

Half way through the service? My understanding was all SPMLs were served first.

I have to laugh whenever I read someone commend QF's 'polished service'. Can only speak for economy, but regardless of how long the sector is (ADL-DRW, MEL-ADL, SYD-CNS, SYD-ADL or whatever), I've found the cabin crew pretty disorganised on the whole. Worryingly, it's the experienced (older)...

A very good account of DRW and the problems experienced by DJ. From family living in Darwin I know how badly neglected they are and the DJ flights are indeed very inconveniently timed. From looking at the first PDF file re: terminal expansion, do I correctly infer they don't plan on adding any...

OK, perhaps a 20g Cadbury dairy milk doesn't count as dessert, but still....

I disagree. Considering QF's woes, I think you'd be surprised how quickly people would line up to fly DJ if they threw in a "free" meal with all their fares. To get some sort of main course, dessert and a couple of alcoholic drinks on a flight home can mean a lot even if it's not of great...

You're correct, although I was careful to select flight pairings, of many available at this price, which offered full meals on both legs between ADL and CNS, and the return CNS-ADL. Obviously, flights which only offer the refreshment service on Qantas brings the two products much closer together...

My apologies, I just thought your brief comment was an over-simplification of what will have to be a delicate balance for DJ - corporate vs leisure. Mogul also raises an important point with regard to the current situation at QF, although I don't think the perceived poor value is entirely to do...
