Timing is interesting, easy for the new CEO to dump the idea very quickly.

Makes it easy to never fly with them again. I don't want the noise of dogs barking (god imagine if there's more than one on board and they're barking at each other) or the smell, even if they don't go to the toilet or vomit. Virgin's basically said the passenger experience of everyone else on...

Unless I've missed it, I can't see any mention of David Caon or any other designer for the A220 fitout on Qantas collateral, which is interesting because the Qantas page on the 737 talks about the 'Marc Newson styled seat' etc. Maybe they're keeping the posh design stuff for mainline but I have...

Talk about a solution looking for a problem. The most offensive lot in the CL are the slimy corporates who think they’re royalty.

Another thought, the SQ video is six years old now. And it still feels fresher than today's attempt by Qantas. SQ got the tone right and locations and personalities don't take over the safety message. Not a single part of it is annoying or a chore.

Bizarre to feature so many random locations they don't even fly to. As others have said, QF's obsession with LA continues (will be interesting to see how that goes with an inundation of US news this year with their election) and typically Qantas, nothing in Victoria. But Sydney could never be...

Virgin is unveiling their new lounge menu today on Twitter. So far, bacon.

There's no one left to do the leaking

I take it you've never watched Paul Murray or Chris Kenny's show then. There is also an ownership overlap too.

Velocity is very broken for me. VA's tech needs to be burn to the ground and rebuild so there's no legacy ANYTHING from the DJ days. They could even just get Virgin America to share their website code/whatever with them: https://www.virginamerica.com

There definitely needs to be a lot more content that's updated far more frequently. It'll never happen how that thy've got a deal with Lufthansa Tech, but they could/should have repurposed the Foxtel Play streaming service for their IFE. A nice suite of live tv (general entertainment, sports...

The old app was one of the best airline apps out there, but it was a tad slow, looking forward to using the updated one! It's built for iOS7, it means it might not run well on 6, 5, etc. They'll eventually stop supporting 6 and previous (might even come with this update)

The QF PER lounge is pretty cough, no better than the current VA lounge. QF also has massively inconsistent products out of Perth. And if you're living in Perth SQ is your best non-gulf carrier option.

If I was VA I'd be offering status matches to anyone who wants it in WA. There's a lot to gain. Domestically they've got a brand new terminal and lounge (the very first terminal and lounge VA has had a hand in designing from the ground up). Internationally they've got good SQ frequencies &...

My bad! It's been a while since I flew QF Y. That is disappointing news, however.

Mineral water on board is welcome, however. The last time I was in J they didn't have any (even QF Y does)

I could imagine. VA is certainly the 'airline of choice' for almost anyone wanting to get to Hobart, and they still don't have a lounge! :P QF obviously did the math and all but killed HBA, but it's surprising considering even tourism to Tasmania these days is on the premium side of things.

Well QF has more or less completely pulled out of Hobart!

Why can't Qantas keep the route and just put a 737 (new, with setback IFE) on it?

The canned responses may be frustrating but the more complaints they have on file about these two terrible aircraft the more chance they might either refurb them or give them the boot for some brand new ones. I wonder how much these two planes cost the company in travel bank credits they hand...
