Flights on hold tonight at Sydney due to lightning. Would love an invite to the qantas domestic lounge if anyone could. Cheers.

Afternoon. Arrived around 4 left around 6. It was fairly quiet no more than 10 ppl. I also looked at what was departing at the time as I had a domestic flight before and apart from one beer in the VA domestic lounge decided to risk it with PP and it worked out ok.

I was lucky. The plaza lounge was near empty when I was there on Friday. The food was ordinary. Just toasted sangas and some mystery noodles. Overall though I would rate my experience fairly highly given cold beer and cricket on the TV.

Im flying Friday and just got an email regarding lounge changes. The Brisbane ‘My Lounge’ will be opening in early 2019. Until then there will be alternative arrangements for Virgin Australia guests travelling on international flights out of Brisbane from 28 October 2018. Business Class guests...

Looks like the message got through to those with the power to actually do anything about it. The flights into Bali on Nyepi have all been cancelled and I got what I needed courtesy of a phone call from Customer Service last week. So look out they do watch what happens here... :)

Thanks for the help. I may try emailing a senior staff member as I don't do Facebook. I am gold and would cancel but I still need to fly close to that date so I am hoping to jump on a flight the day before. It was the 17th this year but in 2019 it's the 7th. Bali Hindu New Year 2019 and 2020...

I booked a reward flight from Sydney to Bali over a month ago and soon found out that I booked to arrive on the only day of the year when Bali airport is closed - Nyepi day - 7 March 2019. Even Garuda were still selling tickets for this arrival date despite it being clear these flights would...

I do the transfer fairly frequently (did it today actually) and always use the train. The Virgin transfer bus is a pain in the proverbial. The train is only $4.xx each way.

I was on VH-YFW on Monday and the inflight internet was working - told my son I could youtube the whole flight and he was awestruck. I didnt have the heart to tell him by the next time he flies and is lucky enough to be on one of the enabled flights it might be too expensive to use.

Hit the TG lounge on the way back from Bali yesterday. You get three alcoholic drinks per guest which I think is an upgrade over the Premier as they have draught Bintang. Wife wasn't too impressed with the Plaga cask wine but hey two more Bintang for me right? They had a noodle station...

Thanks. That is good news.

Can anybody tell me what happens when my account is past its review date but still under review? I am flying Singapore Airlines and they have my velocity number. I have been gold for the last couple of years but only requalified this year a couple of days before the review date. Will it...

I'm flying Virgin economy to Denpasar with my wife and 3 kids under 12. I am VA gold and the rest of the family have no status. The Air NZ lounge policy is that kids under 12 can access the lounge with an eligible parent without impacting on the guest allowance. The SQ lounge policy is kids...

Maybe SQ lounge passes to compensate for the removal of children's access to the lounge?

This really stinks. I have spent about $6k on pending family travel only to find out that not only is there no more free booze on the plane but it looks like I cant take the family with me into the lounge? WTF are they doing? I recently flew Jetstar to bali and I can tell you the flight was...

Many thanks for this. I never knew my virgin amex gave me amex lounge access. Is there beer there? :mrgreen:

My last review was early november and I was short. They didn't get around doing it until the 20th. I had resigned myself to silver but I had the extra 10 SC on the 21st so when I dropped back to silver on the review date I called them and they put me back to gold. I dont know if this is an...

Isn't the expiry date linked to your anniversary date? Mine is I think.

Yes there is/was express screening a few weeks back. I was under the impression it was permanent. Express to the left, plebs to the right.

What's the story with the security screening at Brisbane Int? Previously I have received express passes from checkin but a few weeks ago was told not anymore. But having re qualified recently it still lists express screening as a benefit for gold and platinum. :?:
