Just a warning to those transferring at PERTH. Travelled late November, took the option of BNE-PER-SIN, with my two teenage sons. Wasn't that much longer, time wise and basically double the SC for same $$. No dramas I thought, 3.5 hrs stopover, free transfer bus between terminals. Anyway, we had...

Just an observation. Is anyone actually happy around here? Nearly every thread is whinging and moaning about something these days. This place used to be informative and friendly. Now it seems everyone just whinges and coughes. I used to frequent here daily, now I'm lucky to even look at this...

Just flew on VUF, I swear the legroom was far less than other 737s I have flown on. Still very generous by 737 standards, however, noticably less than others. Just wondering, are they shifting the seats around for a bit more pitch through the cabin, is this one different to the others, or am I...

As the title suggests, saw one with a rabbitoh flag behind the lady, and checked mine when I got home and it had a blues flag. Probably been mentioned, but I thought it was pretty clever.

After nearly a year contributing to this forum, trying to provide information, sharing tips etc, I have decided its time to log off for good. Recent arrogant posts by certain members (You know who you are, you arrogant F C W A T whatever other letter you wish to use), has made me realise I just...

In response to another thread, which has gone rabid, ( http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/virgin-australia-velocity/ool-lounge-28501-87.html ) where the potential abuse and misuse of the intention of Anytime access of "The Lounge" for Golds and Platinums became heated. What is...

Does anyone know what standard of inflight service is offered on flights where ATR, f100 and 737/ erj operate the same route? I know ATR provide snack etc, but it seems rocky is now a mixed bag and operates various ac If you get full service on ATR/ f100 might as well pick those over 737...

Is there a way to have separate airline specific threads, with their FF programs in another thread. I know this is a FF website, but it just seems that with the amount of threads, each containing specific info on either a specific airline, or FF program, it would be easier to find the info you...

Just sitting here, in the BNE Lounge, Doing one of my favourite hobbies, watching people. Some people really make me laugh. One bloke just walked up to the soft drink machine, put his cup under it, got so frustrated because nothing came out, moved the sign out of the way that said out of order...
