    No premium economy, so we've changed you to premium economy.

    One of my upcoming flights has had a 5 minute time change, Qantas codeshare on AA. Qantas has sent me the following email message. I really don't know what to make of it. The updated flight details look correct in the change summary. Notice the strikethrough for all details on the original...

    Japan - VA or QF, or JQ

    After following along with the VA flies to Japan thread. I've now hit a point of actually having to decide about flying to Japan. Haneda has been recommended as the preferred arrival point, due to closeness to where I need to be. But I've arrived at Narita a few times and have no issues with...

    Booking flight change experience

    Overall, I'm happy with how things turned out. I might be delusional to be happy, so I thought I'd ask the opinions of others. Plus also check my knowledge of how virgin handles changes to bookings. I had a double status weekend trip to Cairns booked via Brissy, getting home approx. 9 pm...

    Epernay or Rheims

    I've got 2 nights coming up in Champagne region. Can't really decide between staying in Epernay or Rheims. Epernay looks good for the Avenue de Champagne. Rheims, I guess is more traditionally the place to go. Any experiences to share?

    SQ423/425 flight scheduling BOM-SIN

    I'm needing to book a flight BOM-SIN. Looking at SQ. There is SQ423 departing at 23:35, and SQ425 departing at 00:55. (A380, A350 respectively). SQ425 is cheaper, significantly. (Yes, I have checked the price for the following day - not making the midnight mistake) But it just seems a bit...

    Does VA still offer wifi internet on domestic

    Just looking for current experience with VA and internet access on board. The other half thinks there is none, based on a flight at the start of the year. I'm not at all sure about the current situation, as I've only used the inflight entertainment. As background, I've got a flight next week in...

    I'm just looking for an experience for the amount of airport time to allow for a flight from Berlin to Munich.

    It seems one of my board meetings is pushing ahead with a trip early next year to the USA, Atlanta. I need to purchase and be reimbursed for the airfare (business class eligible). There is a Plan B for later in 2022 if travel shuts, so I could use a credit for plan B travel. However, I don't...

    Flight contact zones - Can we guess it it was?

    I'm not sure where this thread fits exactly, possible into just general covid ponderings. I've opted for isolations, as the topic might lead to isolations. But has anyone been following the contact areas as they relate to flights? I have and I like to guess who the infected person was, and...

    The post/mid-Covid booking experience

    I just completed my first booking with Virgin Australia since Before Covid Era (BCE), and I'm suitably impressed. Why? Because I was able to login and book from my accelerate account and use a promo code. That is a solid improvement in the website.
