ditto that markis10 - but after having to pack my entire house over the past week, stripping my case apart isn't high on the agenda, and I'm in Melbourne until the end of the week. and yep, it's got some nice stuff inside :)

This is for international, but I believe the children table applies at VA lounges domestically also - i.e. unlimited children under 12. International Lounge Access | Virgin Australia I have two children under 12, and my partner, so we are able to utilise the Virgin Australia, America and Delta...

It's a full tower workstation, and would cost $5000ish to build from new, excluding hard drives. Pack & Send want $700 to send in their box, or $800 if I put it in a slightly larger Pelican case which will almost double the weight! Don't think I'm going to be able to beat that unfortunately...

we're looking at 700x700x450mm here, at ~36kg. I just had a look at Pack Send (thanks!!!) and they seem like the logical solution here :) thanks again!!

I'm flying to Seattle next week from Brisbane for a 6 month work stint in the States. I have a large desktop PC I wish to ship with me, and have found the only possible Pelican case that it will fit in is going to exceed Virgin's maximum size before it has to be checked in as freight. Has...

besides having the same FA on my regular flight for a month straight early last year, my best experience to date hasn't even been in the airport or on a plane. I was invited to an event at the QLD Art Gallery a few months back for what I can only guess was a "hey, you haven't flown with us...

don't like my chances, but flying DL BNE>LAX next week with my family - doubt I'll get any benefits except for lounge/priority checkin etc.

I've emailed my "personal concierge" hah. I'll let you all know what she has to say!

far out that's alright, 2 years from your qualify date! Interesting to know whether I retain Platinum 100 after the end of year has rolled over.

I earned SPG Platinum 100 last year, and was wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to find out when your status expires? I have a number of bookings this year, so don't expect to lose it, but there doesn't appear to be any way on the SPG website to find out when your status rolls back to...

Hi all, Cause I'm a lucky son of a b%$^, my work is moving me to the states for work on an L1B visa, with my partner and kids on L2's. I obviously need to sit through the visa interview process, and from what I can tell there is no office in Brisbane? In addition to this, it is my understanding...

I've just checked in for my last stay with SPG (end of project) and managed to clock 110 nights this calendar year. I received an email from my "ambassador" over the weekend asking me all about what I like etc etc, and that she would request an upgrade for me, but alas, I'm in the room I paid...

yep refer to the thread I posted earlier. the helpdesk doesn't give two sh*ts. I bet Qantas' call centre would happily help me out.

When you use the VA system, it only shows you two columns by default also. If you look at top right, there's a "show other options" link (wording may be different). Try this out! Remember you can subsidise your flight with points or $$$. I recently flew BNE->ADL on saver one way, business...

Back when I first started flying with Virgin, I wasn't aware of our company's reservation system allowing you to enter your Velocity number. This resulted in much pain to get my flights credited to my Velocity account. After numerous attempts to claim online, I called the help desk numerous...

I had a flight cancelled MEL>BNE one night, and they ended up putting everyone the could on the last flight, everyone else stayed in MEL for the night. Being Platinum, they chucked me in a Business seat. Now, being late for a flight, I dunno how that'd go down, but it makes for an interesting...

I flew the same route on Sunday night and got the cheese platter. Ripped! You lucky son of a ... I'm on the verge of telling the FA to bugger off when they bring my flexi's around now. I don't mind the wraps but... The sandwiches are consistently dry, bordering stale. There's some new...

I got upgraded to platinum at 990 points. It happens :)

nah it's the "Nice Choice" promotion where you choose your reward. I chose triple points for whole of may through to july, after 15 nights you qualify for triple points for the whole period. works great for me, as I stay 5 nights a week in a hotel :)

logged on to SPG eariler and found a nice little surprise... :D
