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...

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...

Starting off, I had a connecting flight from BNE>MEL in J, not overly happy with the result, but hey, it was still nice. From there, the switchover at Melbourne was a little iffy. The Etihad counter didn't open til after 6:30pm for a flight at 10:30pm, so I headed back to the Velocity lounge...

I reached platinum about 3 months ago, and have been pretty happy with my journey thus far. But what now? I have heard rumours from some colleagues who fly Singapore<>Melbourne almost weekly who say they are seeing "xx points to Platinum Plus" Realistically, does anyone know if such a level...

As a platinum member, and regularly sitting in row 3, I've become increasingly annoyed over the past few months with the introduction of the business class seating. What's the deal blocking off the front of the plane, and making me walk all the way to the back to go to the loo? I don't even go...

I'm quite possibly going on a business trip from Brisbane to London, with an obvious preference to fly via Virgin Atlantic/VAustralia or Etihad. Has anyone had any experience flying this route or similar with Virgin or Etihad in Business class? Also, having to book through Carlson Wagonlit...
