    Thinking it's time to give VA the flick

    Having already re-qual'd PG on Qantas i thought over the last month or so i would direct my flying to Virgin to do my re-qual there. I'm beginning to think i may be wasting my time after tonight.. I've had to put up with a useless website (no one can tell me that the website is good). I can't...

And although it's only outside shots, i thought I...

    QF Y DOM service like I've never seen before

    OK i thought i would post this as I had a bad start to today, flying MEL-SYD, this week on QF. My bad start was my trusty Antler bag, which has done well over 200 flights with me, broke.

    GHA - My Experience

    I thought I would share this as GHA aren't featured on here that much but do have some good perks. Firstly I am a GHA black thanks to the Sebel in Sydney (our work hotel) being a member, well until the end of the year as it is now A|Club. Unlike most programs where you earn points for stays...
