    Upgrade waitlist success?

    I arrived this morning from LAX-SYD. I had a PE ticket waitlisted for J both ways. I didn't get it on the way over but received an email confirming my upgrade 3 days prior to departure for the return journey. I couldn't allocate my seat online so I called and was allocated a window seat.

    Post count not changing

    true true. That was why I was posting to threads in the playground where I could say something relevant. I reached my 15 and was able to PM Virgin Australia in reply to a query relating travel with my disabled daughter.

    Why do hotel rooms often have phone next to the toilet?

    because they can. Why do cars have so many cupholders ;) (disclaimer: I am a fan of multiple cupholders however senseless they seem, you just never know...)

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Honda Odyssey. I spend my money on lots of overseas travel rather than a car that matches the mum brigade.

    The Best Part of Flying

    The excitement as we're about to land and I can see the city I'm landing in. And just flying... the whole experience of not having to be anywhere or be doing anything.

    As a traveller, what does breakfast mean for you?

    At home just a cup of coffee. But when I travel I want bagels and the waffle machine :P

    Hotel questions - LAX and BOS

    We stayed at Crowne Plaza for $60/room (2 queen beds) as the *secret* hotel on expedia. It's fairly big and busy, but the rooms are spacious, quiet and the beds are super comfy.

    Premium Economy. Why?

    If travelling alone, the personal space is a definite plus. Love the boarding drinks and after dinner liquer :) The personalised customer service makes the long trip so much more pleasant. After my end year trip this year I'll only be travelling PE with my kids as teenage boys are just too big!

    Will delayed SC count towards gold?

    less than 24hrs later... the points and SC have been credited but alas no gold as yet. I'll give "Kevin" another day as it's pretty black and white now that I earned over 500SC within 12 months.

    Failed Virgin Experiences...

    On the 6 (Virgin/Pacific) flights within the last 12 months taken with my 7yo daughter (who has mild cerebral palsy and uses a stroller as a wheelchair), despite reassurances from the check in staff, her stroller has been sent to oversized baggage and not the gate as requested (and promised)...

    Will delayed SC count towards gold?

    thanks. They were adamant that I would not receive the Gold status when they points/status were credited (still waiting) as they "can't bring back status credits that have expired." So I asked to speak to a supervisor and told my story again... pointing out that regardless of the date that my...

    Will delayed SC count towards gold?

    With the new rolling status credits I was close to gold so I flew EY to SIN in mid July. I received the points & status for the SYD-BNE leg, but nothing has shown up for the BNE-SIN leg. I have submitted a retro claim, but as per usual, I haven't heard anything back. The status credits for that...
