Saw this article on new.com.au today, and thought it was such a poorly researched article.. How old is that aeroplane, really? | News.com.au They are listing signs that the aircraft is old, and m any of them are incorrect. They say that old planes have illuminated "No smoking" signs instead...

Hi folks, I have two flights booked as saver lites by work. One shows the class as Premiun Ecomomy, and the other just says Economy! Wonder what the difference in these two flights are..

Hi folks, I saw this last week, and I was wondering if it was a common occurrence, or what reasons could there be for it? I was on a DJ flight heading for runway 34R at SYD. As we approached the runway for take off, there was a QF 738 sitting there on the taxiway presumably to be next to take...

Hi folks, I'm not sure if this has been discussed in the other threads, but I hadn't noticed at the time despite having read the threads, so forgive me if I overlooked. :) Anyway, as the thread title suggests, does anyone know what the SC earn rate will be for the new fare classes? Knowing my...

Just noticed on my last 3 flights that they no longer seem to have any menus in the seat pockets, and just have the last few pages of the Voyeur magazine being used for the menu. Do you think this is the way it will be? Was quite amusing watching the amount of people trying to find the menu in...

Hi folks, I'm just wondering is anyone here knows how they decide which flights use what runways at SYD airport? I fly with DJ all the time to and from BNE, and it always seems to be the far runway with the longest taxi. Who gets to use the nearer runways? Is there some sort of pecking order...

Hi folks, I'm not sure if this was discussed anywhere before, but thought I'd just mention it here because it relates to a Virgin Australia flight from PER to SYD. Recently I was sitting in J on VH-XFE on a 10:15am flight, arriving in Sydney at 17:30, so it was a daytime fight. We had a good...

I have a flight booked for September BNE - SIN - LHR - DUB, and DUB - LHR - SIN - PER. The booking was originally V class, and I paid to get it changed to M class, so that I could earn Velocity points and SCs. For some reason when I go online, it won't let me make any changes. Not too sure why...

Hi, This is the seat map for my flight on Friday next week: Seems unusual to me, as I expect the emergency row to be row 12, and there are only 22 rows instead of 24. Does anyone know this aircraft? Is row 2 really missing, or is just a glitch on the system?

How often is this you on a chocker Friday evening flight? Source: The saddest thing I've ever heard on an airplane - The Oatmeal

I had a flight booked from SYD > BNE this Friday, and was pre allocated seat 4D when the flight was booked. When I checked the seatmap at the time, row 3 was occupied, hence why I was given row 4. However, when I went back in to look at the booking yesterday, I saw that row 3 had since become...

Hi folks, A while back I booked a flight from BNE>SIN>LHR>DUB>LHR>SIN>PER, but booked it before I read all the fare rules and booking redemtion rates... big mistake! I called up to find out my booking class and was advised that it was V. Sadly the V class does not attract any points or SCs on...

Hi folks, I am thinking about doing a Status Credit run from Brisbane to Cairns and back on J Class. For the number of Status Credits earned, this seems like a viable option? 120 SCs and the overall fare is less than $1k. And the fact that I've never been to Cairns makes this more attractive...

Hi folks, Just wondering what was going on here. Was on a flight on Sunday, and I saw two people sitting in 4A/4C, and they were receiving the business class service, drinks pre take off, and the meal service during the flight. I thought this very unusual as there was only 1 J class seat...

Hi folks, Been lurking here for a while, so I thought I'd take the plunge and say hi! For those wondering, my username is a Gaelic translation of the place in Ireland where I originate from. Been living in Brisbane now for about three years. Since January, I've been flying to Sydney and back...
