    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    Where can I get kenneling for $30 per day, I just spent 5 days kenneling for two under 10kg dogs for a grand total of $550 and didn’t include additional costs of a wash and blow dry, medication administration or play in the slash park to cool them down. It certainly can get expensive and be...

    Complimentary credit card travel insurances - Any adequate ones?

    Technically not correct. whilst it is legal to have multiple policies for the same risk each PDS maybe different and cover different aspects of the claim. It is not as simple as splitting the claim payout and can be a complex negotiation between insurers, too complex for a detailed discussion...

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Thank you, this worked by selecting points. I was looking on my iPad and could not select points options until I went through a destination search then edit itinerary, which then brought up the ability to search domestic flights within USA.

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Yes I have looked and you only get the selection for Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific when selecting “from” city. North America is only a “to” selection so I can’t select as an example Houston to Las Vegas on the velocity booking website. 1704596205 How?, I don’t get the option to...

    New Malaysia Airlines Boeing 737 cabin interior

    It was ok, not the best J but better than Y. I had a throne seat and the footwell was small, I had two bulkhead on the way back and they had a larger footwell. The seats were very hard so make sure you play around with the seat seatings to get them softer.
