    What's the best cabin bag to purchase?

    I spent several years working in five star hotels. The cheaper the bag the less durable. I would see broken straps, handles and wheels all the time. There would be times that I'd pick up a bag that had too much weight in it and the handle would break away. The best cases were Samsonite. I've...

    Velocity 15% Bonus offer

    Spent 1.5 hours trying to redeem via ANZ Business Rewards tonight but kept coming up against error messages, slow load times and dead pages. Giving up for now and forgoing the 15% bonus as a causality of leaving my redemption attempt to the last minute.

    Beware: No de-icing equipment in Adelaide ...

    I've taken early morning flights from ADL for a few years now and never experienced this. First I've ever heard of an issue like this there

    Virgin want our opinion

    If row 3 becomes a paid upgrade then there's zero enticement for me to retain WP. I'd drop to back to gold and start clocking up lifetime status with Qantas

    Changing Hertz/Europcar preference .. is it possible?

    My last three rentals with Hertz have been horrific. ADL airport are useless. On several occasions I've booked a "guaranteed" prestige car only to find on arrival that there are none available. I'd be happy to ditch Presidents Circle and start at the bottom with ANY other car hire company.

    Fly Ahead and row 3

    Yes they do fill those middle seats. 3B & 3E are often allocated on flights that are not full and it appears common that those seats are occupied by passengers that are not WP. Id upgrade to business before taking 3B or 3E. I wouldnt want to be "that" guy plonked in the middle.

    Virgin Australia Accelerate Program

    We use accelerate though Ive never figured out how to "add a traveller" meaning passenger details have to be entered every time a booking is made. I usually check the regular virgin site for flight pricing and availability before using the accelerate portal to book.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Does anyone here actually BUY 737 J tickets at their normal prices?

    Almost always saver lite for our business with occasional points or plat upgrades

    It's fantastic Dabmyo that you love row 3 so much though it may not be so fantastic if you don't get to sit there so often as a result of your post

    Just tried to OLCI and blank boarding pass???

    I've been unable to OLCI for my two flights last week, today's flight and for this Friday. Have tried Chrome, Safari, iOS Safari & iOS app. Normally everything is fine though at the moment the booking can be retrieved and seat selection can occur but when you confirm no dangerous goods the...

    The disgraceful state of the MEL Lounge with no end in sight

    I think the last hotdog I saw in any VA lounge was six months ago back in June

    I had trouble reading the post. Sounds a lot like your glass is half empty rather than half full

    Apple iPhone 5C/S

    I'm really not enjoying iOS7 so far. Safari is not as straight forward to navigate

    Refused J upgrade - onboard it was empty.

    Sure but each flight from pre board to everyone off at the destination and ready to load again would take a minimum 2-3 hours. Lets call it 2.5 hours x $30 so absolute minimum $75 every flight. How many flights do VA operate each day?

    QP 45% off

    Will probably take this offer up. Currently on zero SC. Had considered moving some travel to Qantas and can make it to SG/WP but didnt want to do the hard yards without lounge access. Thank you for posting!
