VA does have a pre-recorded announcement to this effect - on most of my flights (when I have boarded early) the CM usually presses the button on it a couple of times during boarding... it says exactly what you are suggesting. On QF however, the CSM usually gets on the PA and mentions the same...

Also... each international terminal (/international departure zone at airports with swing gate systems) operates as its own isolated security zone. Which means everyone entering the international area must be screened by that terminal's security screening. That doesn't happen at domestic...

90 minute scheduled service - AM between breakfast and lunch times After self-assembly

This is "predatory pricing". It is illegal in Australia - the ACCC would intervene should a scenario like this develop.

When in their cars, I often talk to ride share drivers about their experiences on the different platforms, and generally there has been consensus that ola is a dud. A few said they thought it had already closed down, only one said he liked ola. In the competition between India, China & the USA...

IMO this is a very pleasant Scotch (I do not like single malts and only drink blended). I disagree with your assessment. I think finding it in Business Class is amazing, it is normally reserved for in-flight service on intercontinental First Class (IME on other airlines which serve it).

Mmmm, club sandwich. Sydney version Melbourne version

Pre-departure orange juice on Rex in business class. Pre-departure bottle of water on Jetstar. (Business class on a domestic sector of international flight.)

Toasted Sandwich

And there are a few CMs who disappear from the cabin 5 minutes before the announcement, in anticipation of it, so they don't have to do any drink refills and last minute service requests. Personally, I hope the new CEO starts removing them from the company, so the rot at the bottom doesn't start...

Cheers from Virgin Australia, a pre-departure sparkling wine on all afternoon/evening business class flights Australia-wide. ...and, a very selective cheers, (pre-departure sparkling wine) from Qantas (international) operating a domestic sector (flight numbered less than 400 within Australia).

Unsurprisingly, there are so many different types of economy class seats, from a variety of manufacturers... Recaro lists 5 different models as economy class - Economy Class - RECARO Aircraft Seating Safran also markets 5 different seats to fit an economy class cabin (scroll to the end of...

Lamb Rissole close up, with potato, garnished with cream, tomato, cucumbers...

Usually pita and the hummus on a separate plate on the side. Ooops, I should have mentioned that it was a 90 minutes scheduled service. (Ticketed arrival time minus ticketed departure time. i.e. how a passenger views schedules, not the crew.) So not a PER/international flight, where an...

Pita close up with a chicken salad. (Is this missing some hummus on the side?)

source: We have seen this happening at Delta Sky Clubs in the USA - where there are now regularly queues at the door of some lounges to get in, and long wait times (some abandoning the line, as their flights are called for departure, without ever entering). Pictured above is a JFK T4 Sky Club...

Possible?! I really can't recall if it was bits of the usual thigh they normally buy for everything or breast. 🤷‍♂️

I have flown on a Swiss A220, on the two seat side, and they did block the seat next to me. (They alternated between blocking window and aisle, presumably so no one would recline into you?)

I think the CM was thinking of this one? (The two lumps at the top are chicken.) Overcooked and messy plate potentially due to extended turbulence and delayed beginning of service during/after ascent.

I don't think I have ever been on a 5 cabin crew VA 737 flight. 90% of the time, the CM does an introduction prior to the safety briefing, and IME it's always 6 names; 2 driving at the front of the bus, and 4 in the back with the SLF. YMMV
