What would really be wonderful is if all the covid cuts we accepted like premium entry, wifi etc were actually reactivated (and not just partially) instead of hearing coming soon or we are evaluating it's return. Get that right and add in some on time performance back to pre covid numbers and...

What is going on with scheduling and routes lately? I get the school holiday rush and covid staff levels are throwing major spanners in the works but next month im noticing alot of direct routes are disappearing. I know living in a Backwater doesn't help but all of a sudden the direct flights...

I just spoke to the desk and they said to me the problem is that VA 2.0 hasn't established a contract with the airports to reinstate security. Also BNE needs to open at the same time as SYD which will also require a reliable MEL exit. It's such a first world problem but it was a nice luxury...

Just going through Adelaide at the moment and the priority lane has returned.

What is the status of premium screening coming into the easter break? As far as im aware; BNE premium entry is still closed and no premium lanes SYD premium entry is still closed and no premium lanes MEL premium exit is sporadic and premium lane is active but not policed ADL premium lane is...

The option to avoid the cesspool of LAX for SFO direct from Aus is the biggest win out of this partnership. I only flew on UA once in 2017 and my memory of it was a Jetstaresque fitout and no entertainment streaming options but overall a good flight. I will miss DL, their customer service was...

When Adelaide had the pop up lounge early last year before covid hit the amount of guests allowed with Plats and Golds was limited and you couldn't go in till sometime between 45mins to 1hr before your flight and it worked fine. But at the same time we in Adelaide knew that it was temporary so...

I fly with VA, i know that premium entry is down at T2 in Syd still but in ADL they share the same screening point

Flying out of Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney in the last 3 months, I've noticed that I had no option for Priority Security Screening, am I blind or is this something that hasn't returned from the devastation of Covid on Airports? In ADL outside of the morning and arvo rush it's not that big of...

Well im also youthful but i also know that you sometimes have to accept things you dont like and just focus on the positives which the new lounge has plenty to pick from

First time in the new Adelaide lounge and can say it's layout is refreshing (especially compared to what were used to in Adelaide). Can't say im a fan of the qr order system as it's a bit slow over getting it yourself, but just one of those covid sacrifices. Food is alot better that what i got...

Flight out of Adelaide today, came out of the lounge late and it was down the back end of the line for general boarding but there was no dedicated lane fenced for priority boarding that im used to seeing. Didn't matter too much to me being there was 15 or so people left (plus it's such a first...

I know the VA site can be a bit behind the times so can someone confirm the if the SYD lounge still only opens at 7:30am on Mon-Friday or it's reverted to an earlier time like the rest of the network?

Using the velocity number and selecting the plat option my experience has been; 5/1/21 rang at 3pm Brisbane time 25min wait 6/1/21 rang at 11am Brisbane time 22min wait Not instant like when we had the o/s call centres at full capacity but pretty good seeing its only the Brissy office managing...

I'm in the same boat, I'm still waiting for the email that was sent out today especially since my review date is in January 2021

Goes against what the ACCC is saying about the need two full service airlines in Aus. Ryanair is a full blown budget airline that makes Tiger look good and while it would do well for the bogans and tightarses in Aus it would basically monopolise business travellers to Qantas along with anyone...

With the amount of public debt we are going to have dont be suprised if we have a debt "levy" on our income taxes once the economy recovers. Neo-liberalism within an economy of 25 million doesn't work, in the US yes but here government intervention is required within the market and both...

ASIC is being brought into the fight. ASIC on Tuesday told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age it had been in contact with Virgin to make inquiries about the allegations but declined to comment any further. Virgin confirmed it had been contacted by ASIC on the matter and "have provided them...

Fin review today just incase anyone couldn't read it, i highlighted the main points S&P junks Virgin's credit rating, Fitch less harsh Rating agency S&P Global has junked Virgin Australia's credit rating but rival agency Fitch remains more optimistic, despite a candid admission by the...

The staff make VA what it is and i hope head office remembers that when everything is over.
