Shame.. https://www.australianflying.com.au/latest/warbirds-downunder-2026-cancelled-as-temora-shifts-to-showcase-format

Received e mail from VA saying they will be sending out new look Platinum baggage tags soon. Multi year members only first. How exciting ...😁

Had a VA flight from Kalgoorlie to Perth earlier in the week. Probably one of the worst for quite a while. Despite the boards being displayed for priority boarding and general, not used, one announcement, free for all, mad scrum. No WiFi onboard the 737 700. No real apology. CSD was useless...

I see that once again somehow Australia seems to think that it deserves the title of the world most expensive passport? Why? It's ridiculously expensive for such a low population and not exactly the world most desirable...

A quickie on redeeming Qantas credit/gift voucher due to delayed flight. X2 pax each with credit of 300 dollars. Tried to use my own individually, no joy. Kicked out at payment stage. So basically you always need to travel together (even if voucher valid for three years)!! Surely this is not...

Every situation and circumstance is different. I know. Indeed I was reading yesterday that the UK is now going to introduce stronger and more transparency for the costs of pet insurance My now 5 year old has had a one or two vet visits. Nothing staggering with the highest bill in 5 years being...

Why can't they? Why only domestic multi city? I can choose more flight options on VA metal via Expedia flights. (Enforcing a night stop rather than having to have an over night flight which is the only option on VA. Is booking VA flights via Expedia potentially hazardous time to ensure that FF...

Anyone been recently to Jakarta Airport? Is there any viewing terraces or good places for viewing aircraft there?

The former Chief Commercial Manager of Edinburgh Airport , Gail Taylor, has been appointed as the new Commercial and project guru at Sydney. SYD needs new blood and direction and she has certainly had a lot of success at Edinburgh. Hopefully this will be replicated at SYD.

Is this being discussed elsewhere? This is the VA new approach for on board purchases payment option. Not sure everything is being included and not so sure it will be value for the hard earned points? Received e mail saying this is coming by linking VA Credit card.

Looking at buying some cheaper SQ flights in economy. I'm still not clear on lounge access rules for VA platinum. I believe that any SQ lounge will allow access? However if lounge is operated by a third party, say at Jakarta then what? Is there any definite guide to follow to make this clear?;

Looking for some reasonable priced car hire at Darwin for three days. I guess I must accept that everything is curtailed within km per day that is offered but why for goodness sake! It's 2025 and to have limited KMs is ridiculous and not being able to car out of the state...(Not that I would be...

I am thinking prior to the ending of the VA and SQ "relationship" and before VA change their own point/credit system, of doing a quick bash ex Perth to a couple of places that I have never been before but all in one trip for duration period of about six days.. I'm thinking booking via SQ so that...

I'm thinking it is...well we were certainly in the decent for MEL and a few turns later seemed to be heading back that way. Just glanced at it from.the aircraft window and the airport looks smaller than what it seems on the ground!

State visit..pics from phone but you get the jist. London Heathrow.

Aren't they wonderful? As you taxi out for departure...have you seen anything at airports that make you chuckle?

Yesterday, I think I counted 16 340s in various state of repair/maintenance at Wagga Wagga. Despite this...I can only assume.they don't even have the routes to maintain so many on the books?

The delay before the scheduled service was due to start in 4 weeks has caused problems for pax already booked. BA blames Rolls Royce due to engine trouble on the B787 the aircraft type that was expected to carry out the long route from Heathrow to KL. Alternative airlines within the One World...

Travelling PER-SYD-HND . Domestic sector with VA and international sector SYD-HND with NH but with a codeshare VA flight number. What happens at SYD? I see to receiving conflicting information. Do I need to check in at SYD as well or will Perth allocate boarding cards and also check bags all...

i have found in economy a very good fare actually: my proposed routing, PER-KUL-KCG-KUL-DPS-KUL-PER. One PNR. However, on the MH site under, multi city, it gives various class of fares being possible but does not identify the said class on first approach, points and AVIOS for this trip. I am...
