    Virgin Australia's dodgy response to my allergy to an airborne substance

    Also oddly got very dizzy and had to take a lie-down, and about half the time vomited, whenever I drank Earl Gray tea, which I only did occasionally when there was no other option because I'd noticed previously that it didn't agree with me. (I completely didn't believe that there was ANY...

    Virgin Australia's dodgy response to my allergy to an airborne substance

    Virgin Australia's dodgy response to my allergy to an airborne substance

    Yes, the fruit with the peel. I would hear the peel opening from a few rows away, but more often see people picking up an orange from the bin. Generally pre-peeled and sliced result in much less oil entering the air and are only an issue at very close range, because much of the oil is in the...

    Virgin Australia's dodgy response to my allergy to an airborne substance

    Sorry I couldn't cut it down more lest it leave out relevant details. I've filed at least one TR much longer than this and people had no trouble following it. ;-) Actually, no. I tend to sleep only sporadically, and tend to keep an ear out for the noise of someone opening the fruit. I also sit...

    Virgin Australia's dodgy response to my allergy to an airborne substance

    Earlier this month, I had the scariest flight I've had since travelling on small puddle-jumpers between regional airports and the big smoke during storm season 30 years ago, and it's sworn me off Virgin Australia for life despite it being my favourite airline for the past 12 years, since the DJ...
