    If you met Paul Scurrah (Virgin Australia CEO), what would you say?

    I would say...please don't downgrade the J domestic meals. It's one of the things that puts VA above QF, and, GET RID OF THE TASTELESS AND MEAN CHICKEN SANDWICHES!

    QANTAS versus VIRGIN Business Flights - Virgin would kill QANTAS/QANTAS Link with service, food and drink. I flew with both in the past fortnight -

    Have to agree. VA J domestic beats QF J domestic hands down. Recently SYD-HBA J on VA - service, PB, food and drinks excellent. Coming back QF J service rushed and unfriendly, PB non-existent, food poor (it was actually in edible) and drinks miserly and unacceptable for a J product. VA have my...

    Velocity Hotels (Expedia)

    I used my Velocity Amex to make some bookings in November. The expiry date is end Sept 19. So, after reading on here the problems some have experienced, I rang Expedia and they couldn't (or wouldn't) amend the expiry date and said that the only way was to cancel the reservations I have and...

    Whats your best experience on a delayed flight?

    Not me but one of my clients a couple of weeks ago....Arriving from YVR on AC ..Sydney was fogged out so flight was diverted to BNE...sat on the tarmac for a couple of hours and then got to SYD 6 hours late. They had a ticket on VA from SYD to PQQ which had left hours before. They fronted up to...

    VA UpgradeMe Points error

    Yes, it's really frustrating...they were great at the call centre but that's not the point...I love VA but it's little things like this that get really annoying....

    VA UpgradeMe Points error

    Four times this week I've tried to upgrade with points. Each time computer said flight not eligible. Each time I rang Velocity and upgrade processed with no problem. This was on their EOFY sale fares. I told each agent that I'd had an issue and they said that they would alert the tech people.

    Velocity Accounts being suspended for investigation

    Yesterday, on the return portion of our trip, I tried to access the lounge at SYD using my lounge passes. The attendant said that they couldn't access my account but let me in anyway. She said that my account must be suspended or inactive as she couldn't see my profile. Very odd as a few hours...

    Help With Baggage Question

    Hello All, I'm hoping someone can help. I have friends arriving from the UK via HKG on CX into SYD at 2050. They have a flight booked SYD-PQQ the next day with QF at 15.50 on a separate ticket. Can they go to the QF transfer desk at SYD International when they arrive and check their bags and...

    What takes people from Qantas ?

    It's bye bye to QF for me. I've just completed 2 J class returns to Hobart from Sydney, one on VA and one on QF. The difference was stark. Crew and food were miles ahead on VA. One dinner meal on QF, a cold beef salad, was inedible and the service was dreadful.
