    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Hey guys, have been trawling through the various options and my head is being done it - anyone got a magic bullet for a 100SC run by May - missed the double offer, was too busy on other business matters and realise I need a quick & dirty cheap run... all options will be considered, but a holiday...

    Custom Branded Carry On Luggage

    Unfortunately, they are all a commodity now, so if it breaks, we replace - I have had my current Samsonite roller for about 7 years with almost weekly throws into the luggage compartment and its still going strong, might need a replacement soon though, starting to look a bit old.

    Custom Branded Carry On Luggage

    Not too sure why you would go to the added expense of Custom made - suggest you look to Samsonite, they always have good gear, just make sure you go for upright not the squat sideways ones, as they don't roll down the aisle at all. Just make sure there is a good & large compartment for clothing...

    Which PJs in the sky

    I usually sleep au natural, so don't think the pax would be too impressed... on a serious note, seatbelt light off, trip to the smallest room to get in & comfy - I prefer trackie dacs & loose t-shirt, then the return journey before breakfast service with a "pommie shower" and change into...

    I also remember Compass - unfortunately, many were asleep that week and missed them.

    Loud in the lounge

    Definitely not old & cranky... alright, maybe old, but I am with you "bruvva". To reiterate my strategy: If video, stand in camera shot behind the offender and make rude, crude and suggestive moves towards the offender that the others on the call will definitely see - the more outlandish the...

    My Virgin Gold experience

    Knasty, I would have happily offered them to the checkin person & Rev, time to lighten up mate, not a biggy - some people have a bad day & as these guys can now become neo-naz_'s, best just to put up shut up, then complain via letter at the attitude, not the instruction

    London Hotel tips

    Copthorne Tara in South Kensington. Not a bad pub, reasonably close, but the biggest giggle is the Breakfast service, its like Fawlty Towers - a real crackup, especially if you try to order anything not strictly on the Menu (like Apple Juice), or try to get your own cereal from the central...

    Epic Fail - Virgin's Special Platinum Treatment

    I too have reached Platinum twice flying super cheap Y and have never had anything but fantastic service from very friendly - always ready to help - lounge staff. Maybe you walked in unhappy and upset and that transferred to the treatment you received?

    Why won't PAX turn off their mobiles when instructed

    OK guys, lets get serious here... if our phones could effect navigation and control of the aircraft, don't we all secretly want to sit in 5A, turn on the phone and play the most exciting Flight Sim ever! Come on, look into yourself, you would all be giggling like loons as you got the jet to do a...

    Why won't PAX turn off their mobiles when instructed

    Initially FM does turn off all transmissions, fairly sure you cant manually turn your data and phone access on manually, so it does 'protect' them.
