You have to remember that you can't base your estimate on how many people you see with platinum boarding passes or tags as by default these people are going to be flying more often and therefore have more presence. Based on my own travel I rack up about 2500 Sc's (dependent on DSC promos and...

And what is that pale semi opaque white sauce on the eggs, for a second I thought the male chef had got over excited, I tasted it and it had zero taste/salt what so ever and I then knew it was safe.

Every time I have missed a flight (got time wrong, been delayed in traffic etc) I have always been put on the next flight at no cost with no questions asked. Out of 150+ flights last year I think it happened 3 or 4 times, both pre and post Sabre. The one time I tried ringing the call centre...

That is strange, I rent at least three times a week and without fail I always get an upgrade, normally more than just one class. Also they added what cars I like and dislike to my profile and in the major cities where they have them most of the time I get one of my preferences regardless of the...

I got butter served without asking both with Dinner when flying on Tuesday night (Brisbane - Perth on a New A330) and with supper (I had the soup) when flying home last night (Perth to Brisbane on a old A330) Both time it was on a little dish, not a packet as above. On a side note I flew back...

Re: VA B777 Premium Economy Opinions Nothing good to say about VA Y+, I got upgraded from Y on my last flight back from LAX and almost turned it down as I went from what I consider the best seat in Y to the worst seat in Y+. The food is basically the same, still comes with the same coughpy foil...

I do this route a fair bit and have always been Platinum when doing it, also I have always been on reward seats. From Y I have a 50% upgrade record (always only to PE) which is pretty good. If stuck in Y, I always take row 20 window, mainly because I find it easy to sleep putting my legs up...

Above is correct, they will check you in for both flights at BNE, and they need to scan your passport, enter arrival address etc. Random info: there is only one priority desk in BNE that has the passport scanner (the end one on the right) so you have to wait for that desk to be available. If you...

Whenever I have flown with a partner (mainly Air NZ to Shanghai) they give you an invite card to the local lounge, that's after you convince the China Airways staff that man the Air NZ counter that your Virgin status is valid (that was a battle in itself)

I was declined fly ahead when trying to change a connection to a direct flight, said the only way was for me to pay the fare difference! It was a public holiday and I was 5 hrs early. I then told them just to keep the same connection but fly me ahead on both those sectors if they couldn't change...

I liked that meal when I had it! Braised short ribs with polenta and fresh gremalata (sp?) on top. Although mine looked much better than your, significantly more moist! And we all know wetter is better!

Better yet, seems that some of the time I use "Fly Ahead" post Sabre, the ticket changes to a Flexi fare (Saver originally) and in turn I earn Flexi SC's and get offered a flexi meal. Sure it wont take them long to close this loophole, not that it really matters for me as I re qualified for...

I fly ahead at least twice a week always with bags. Not sure how many others do this but I got sick of paying $250+ for a peak time saver fare at short notice so just book the last flight of the day normally around $129-$159, turn up at 5 or 6 and get put on the next flight. Cheaper than a peak...

Our company has had nothing but problems with corp bookings since the change over, and every staff member that has flown since the change over has had bad experiences on at least half their flights. Some of the comments I have heard from Virgin staff sound like they are also very fed up of the...

They just showed footage of a plane taking off at OOL on Nine news. All I can say is that you could not pay me to be on that flight. I have been through some terible winds being a regular at Wellington airport but this looked much worse. Looked very much like this Extremely High Wind Landing...

See the two attached images from the our corporate account, *Saver lite fare shown on one ticket as being premium economy, on the other it is economy *Fare show on selection page has base fare plus tax and the then more tax is added on the review page Many other things are just quite right yet

Lots of delays out of Brisbane tonight, mainly as a result of delayed incoming flights, we ended up departing at 7.30pm for a 5pm scheduled flight. Massages and packs of Spotted Cow cookies being handed out in the lounge. FA was very apologetic and then continued to waffle on about "the...

Just cross your fingers you get to keep your seat, I flew today MEL - LAX and had pre selected 10a, when I got to the gate, beep beep, thought I was in for an upgrade. No I had been moved to 14a, which sucks as those seats don't recline as far and I was now right in front of a baby in economy...

I booked the same route in Y+ using points, Flexi deal fare was $2921 at the time on the website. Travel is in three weeks and was booked about two months ago. I paid 140,000 points and $700 for taxes that makes the points in may case worth around $2200
