Yep it was the difference in upgrading. Ideally I would've booked business from the get go but was able to do it after our wedding Was just seeing if any one has got a better deal before?

The business upgrade was a gift for my honeymoon as I originally booked economy so we where able to upgrade Looking to do similar on the way back

Does anyone know roughly the price of a economy - business upgrade at the gate in Singapore? I did a upgrade going Syd - Sin and it was $1400 AUD Should I expect the same price on the return leg? Low ranking Kris member

How can you tell which aircraft has WiFi enabled?? I mainly do Syd-Mel and return.

Hi All, I have flown a lot but am still very nervous these days.. So heading to LAX on Saturday and have not done a VA international flight on VA1. How is Virgin these days with long haul flights? Ive only ever done QF to the States. I know its short notice to relax a nervy flyer but any...

So bit of a nervous, well extremely, nervous flyer. I have flown multiple times before but still just have that fear inside im flying with VA to the US in under 2 weeks- granted its a different airline, but is there anything that can allay my fears? I am sure the flight will be totally fine...

Hi guys, any discounted % off promo codes VA to LAX for October -November fares?

Hi all, just trying to figure out the best way to use my FF points for a trip to the US in November. Its its for my wife and myself, I currently have around 88,000. I can get plus pay and get economy flights for $2600 any other ways to use these more effectively? Eg upgrades to premium or...

Hi JB, I know the question of mobiles being used on planes has been covered before. However, on my recent flight back to Syd from BNE (flying Virgin) i noticed the pax next to me had his iPhone on and in 3G mode just before taxing to the run way.. Now i did ask him to put this on flight mode...

I know this is getting a bit off topic. its just a shame for me personally, in the era where our technology is getting better, faster and more advanced (smartphones and tablets) it seems aviation is stuck in an older mindset. Why cant we or don't we try and build faster planes, more efficient...

Thanks for answering guys! Have one more, i guess a comment more than a question.. Was reading about the Concorde and supersonic travel. Now that it is gone (i understand money, 1 crash and other issues caused problems) but with that technology available in the 70s, why haven't we tried to...

A few questions since my recent travels to Seoul.. Does the pilot make most of the decisions to stay at a certain altitude? EG we where about 2 hours from Seoul when i noticed on the flight status, the pilot slowed the plane down (form 900km/h to around 750-800km/h) and on the way back to...

Im a casual observer to this site, but love reading about aviation. Loving this Thread! Jb, Do you ever get nervous flying? Has there ever been a moment where you got quite scared that something could go wrong? How often, in reality, do things go wrong (engineering or otherwise) that require...

Hi all, So i have a few travel dates to the sunshine coast in August planned for business. Had a look at the Qantas website to see the plane i am on and its listed as a DHC Dash 8, Fokker 100 and/or an embaler 195. I am a nervous flyer to begin with, but has anyone flown this route? Brisbane...

This is a bit more reassuring i guess! What is the deal with flying through heavy cloud, eg the awful weather we are experiencing in Sydney today? Does that affect the overall comfort and or increase the likely hood of a bumpy flight? I have checked weather reports and it seems that it...

Yeah i guess when you have a irrational fear its hard to see any reason and logic! So has anyone flown the A380 in the last few weeks, and how has the overall experience been? Im in row 67 over and 70 back so im hoping for a smooth flight (hopefully little/no turbulence!)

Hey guys, so i am really glad i discovered this place it is very helpful! Im heading to the US with my sister on saturday (first time in the US- i have flown to Europe in 2010).. Now i am a VERY nervous flyer, and really am already panicing. With what has happened with the A380 has...
