    Virgin Lounge in Perth closed prior to the redeye departures?

    The Virgin website has been updated in the past week, from previously saying the Perth lounge closes at 6pm, to now back saying open "until last Virgin Australia flight departure" and that a "Lite supper service served from 6pm." That would indicate some level of opening and service, so would...

    Virgin Lounge in Perth closed prior to the redeye departures?

    Last Friday night (05 August) the Virgin lounge in Perth was definitely closed at 6pm, despite three red-eye 737's departing later that evening. I expect these were all pretty full, so this would affect of lot of customers who would otherwise enjoy lounge access. This seems the new-norm...

    QF Platinum Denied Lounge on Arrival with Qantas Sydney Airport

    I similarly attempted to enter the Perth Business Lounge on arrival from an intra-state flight and was simply told "No - you need to have a forward flight, no matter what your status!" In a mix of confusion and embarrassment, I walked away and looked up the guidelines to find mention of...

    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    After a recent good run, it seems the MEL-PER route has returned to its old habits with the JQ972 8.00am flight across to the west (and the return journey JQ977) having been cancelled at least the past four days. All well and good if you're on a sector where there's a flight every hour or so...

    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    A bad day for JQ MEL-PER route today Friday 6 November as well. Both runs across (JQ972 and JQ976) were cancelled, originally at 0640 and 1600. Of course the returns PER-MEL (JQ977 and JQ961) at 0825 and 1745 also cancelled. There had been a change to these schedules a few weeks ago and...

    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    Re: General Jetstar Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion The JQ968 MEL-PER (and returning JQ971 PER-MEL) have been cancelled more than they have flown this past week - add today to that tally. In my experiences, those have usually had a pretty full load. I wonder if it is a light Qantas...

    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    Re: General Jetstar Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion Can anyone confirm the general protocol when JQ have these last minute "technical issue" cancellations ? Do they reschedule you on QF flights, or wait to the next JQ flight (whether that be the next day), or is it a combination of both...

    Lounge Dragons Mel don't know the rules

    As a WP, I find the wave of a card gets me in to SYD or MLB - if anything, they seem to look at the date of expiry and show no interest if I have a boarding pass or not (printed, or otherwise.) PER is a completely different story, however; they grab your card and scan it each and every time...

    Late calling of JQ flights in QC? Missed flight

    The information I’ve received from the Perth Qantas lounge regarding Jetstar flights and boarding have been a little contradictory. I have been told by staff on numerous occasions to NOT view the board at all, as the boarding screens are automated from Melbourne and the “Go To Gate”...

    QP Perth epic fail tonight

    They first introduced the no self-serve on the wine and champagne a few months ago, now it's the one drink policy. Is this a responsible service of alcohol (RSA) issue? I asked once about the changes and got a vague response. The line at the bar is now absurd for everyone; yes a 10...

    SYD Business Lounge - ''this is not an arrivals lounge'

    A similar thing happened to me in Brisbane last weekend (just wanted to pop in for a coffee after an overnight flight from Perth.) Already tired and grumpy, the guy on the counter said "we don't normally do this, unless the lounge is not crowded." I reiterated that I was Platinum and I...
