    Priority boarding my cough

    I shall take your suggestion and ensure I am late for all my flights going forward as then we won’t have to have this conversation again because there won’t be any queue.

    Priority boarding my cough

    The manager on board this flight. So status grants you access to the priority boarding LINE but nothing else? I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect priority boarding is exactly that, priority, as in before something else. Not the ability to stand in a different queue.

    Priority boarding my cough

    sure I’ll bite. I don’t expect attention, I expect what my status should give me. PB line was the first line you encountered when approaching the gate. General boarding was about the same size in the opposite direction. When I finally got to the front of the PB line, I noticed the general...

    Priority boarding my cough

    You’re quite right, which means VA does have the choice to use facilities that would help them deliver the product they advertise, but choose not to.

    Priority boarding my cough

    Yes, people without status don’t get published status benefits, people with status should get them but don’t always. Surely it’s not to much to expect a published benefit to be given?

    Priority boarding my cough

    I’m not sure what status donkeys have, emotional support animal maybe? Then I really could board before everyone as I would have special needs. You might be onto something here.

    Priority boarding my cough

    CSM advises that gate 79 is a bit cough... long story short doesn’t really allow them to board priority via 2 agents at the same time as other gates do. Usual gate at BNE in my experience is gate 81. Hence they boarded both queues at once. Still pretty pathetic for one of our two main carriers...

    Priority boarding my cough

    Told the CSM who was horrified let’s see if anything comes of it. Yes I enjoyed the lounge. Sitting quietly in my seat right now. Nothing like spending 20k a year to be treated like a nobody. I don’t know how QF Platinums do it without losing their minds.

    Priority boarding my cough

    Remind me again why I spend thousands of dollars a year on VA Boarding farce! They were boarding general at the same time as priority.

    Seat Selection on Etihad?

    I booked an Etihad J redemption on the VA website this morning (to Cairo), and the Etihad website refused me to select a seat. The iOS app, had no problem. It turns out it put me in great seats anyway.

    Virgin Lounge at Brisbane International

    Sorry Henrus, one more question. For my upcoming flight on Saturday (3rd Nov, after changes but BEFORE new lounge opens) is it in writing on the VA website somewhere that I will have access to Singapore lounge? Don't want to get stuck without a lounge.

    Did this change recently? Flew to Vanuatu in Y as a gold and Plaza Premium wasn't an issue.

    Letter was at mums. Honestly don’t know where half my mail goes these days. Top 5% in queensland, pretty good for a single person who spends 1/3 of the year overseas.
