Going by the flyover video in this new media release, it may appear “Virgin” is written on the inside of the winglet. https://newsroom.virginaustralia.com/release/virgin-australia-expands-boeing-737-max-8-fleet-and-secures-access-full-flight-simulator

In terms of cabin crew, VA don’t employ contractors nor casuals, they’re all permanent VA employees. So that’s a tough one.

Or pantry? Do they have one?

To clarify I was meaning between lounge operator and VA. Which as a result has led to the OP’s experience. Good it’s all officially been clarified and the lounges will hopefully comply.

To be fair, a lot of the “controversy” would have been avoided had the publisher of the article waited to hear from VA (you know, the main relevant party) rather than publishing the article with some of the information. But I guess that generated a lot of clicks. Not denying of course, that...

I’ve seen some comments attributing the creation of this policy to the marketing team. As someone who’s worked in marketing for over 10 years, I can almost assure you the marketing team had very little to do with this. A marketing team will rarely create policies. They may be consulted and in...

Well the thing here is a progressive change of habits, overtime. You start somewhere. You’re not required to use bin liners, if you must, you can can always purchase compostable ones (yes more expensive, but overtime become cheaper). And recycle as much of your soft plastics (wrappers, bags...

Cycle rotations change on Wednesday, so seems this particular menu moved down the line on your return, had you flown within that same cycle you’d have received a different menu.

Speaking to a csm (acquaintance’s partner) about this topic they mentioned that domestic on the A330 they recycle cups, cans, bottles, etc as they have the room. However on 737 it’s a best endeavour situation as they don’t quite have the room for multiple rubbish bins. At the end of the day it...

Agree so much. Remember the poor business class seats QF introduced on their A330 just before VA rebranded and introduced their own A330 with a better product (and that was the ex Emirates ac)? It forced QF to go back to the drawing board, and even blocking out the middle seats.

I'm afraid we are running the risk in this forum of having inflated expectations, once again. For no reason. The only mention in the refrenced AusBT article is "economy travellers can expect more substantial 'complimentary snacks'". That's it, there is no mention of specific routes, timings...

Re: VA Delays at SYD today Having just returned from Mexico and the USA makes me thankful how easy it's to travel in Australia. There, scenes like these can be a daily occurrence. Out of LAX T2 there was a queue in a separate area to join the actual queue for check in. Interestingly out of LAX...

A friend flew over the weekend PER-SYD and during lunch service they offered a choice of a Thai style penang beef curry with rice or a vegetarian tajine dish with couscous and veggies. As she was seated towards the back the crew were nice and she asked if she could try both. She said the...

I've noticed this too, however not only in the aviation sector of the market. Pure loyalty, in the utopian way we like to think about it, I personally believe doesn't exist anymore. Not for a while anyway, and at least not in my ecosystem of products and services. I think it went out of the...

I guess on that basis, QFF may be considered LCC too in a way, in light of this announcement: http ://www .ausbt.com.au /qantas-boeing-737s-to-get-more-economy-seats-wifi-entertainment "38 of the airline's older Boeing 737s, which currently pump out entertainment via overhead screens and radio...

I can provide some insights on this topic as I've worked in content and entertainment distribution and have colleagues still in that space. Hollywood studios dictate when their films/content will be available across different platforms. Currently because these on board streaming systems are...

Hi all, first time posting on AFF tho I've been reading for a while and using the handy tips and advice not only for VFF, but QFF and the other programs. I'm currently Gold on VFF but sadly will go down to Silver in a couple of months as I haven't had much travel, which it's mostly self funded...
