It seems like the best bet to ensure I’m less likely to encroach on others? Anyone flown on this row or have any other suggestions?

Hi Looking at having to take the redeye from Perth to Brisbane departing 11:30 pm - arriving 6 am the next morning, as I am connecting from Broome. I am VFF Platinum so have access to the lounge and Economy X seating. My questions - is the Perth lounge definitely open as per their website until boarding of last flight? (I thought I read somewhere it closed early). If anyone has flown this flight (or one of the other east coast redeye flights), is upgrading to business worthwhile and what is...

I'm sure most people reading this are already familiar with the recent changes announced to Virgin Australia's Velocity Frequent Flyer program. In particular, from next year: You'll earn status credits for Virgin Australia flights based on the amount you spend, You'll earn fewer status credits on partner airlines, and To earn or retain any status level, you'll need to earn at least half of the required status credits from VA marketed flights you personally fly (i.e. not from family pooling...

I love the irony ;) Up to Cairns to catch up with our Port friends over Easter. Last night we booked a return to Africa for most of June. East this time. Managed to get PE...

INDEX TO SPECIFIC POSTS/TOPICS: Index of Popular "Ask The Pilot" Topics | Australian Frequent Flyer It has been suggested that we have a place where members can ask questions they always wanted to ask a pilot. We have several qualified pilots amongst the AFF membership and this is an opportunity to ask questions related to flying experiences, flying activities, how aircraft work, or anything relating to the life of a pilot (well, maybe not anything ;)). Please be aware that all members of...

There have been a few rather spectacular photos posted on the OTT, and it was suggested that a new thread be started just for this purpose. So do you have a picture of somewhere special you were this morning you would like to share? 2025 edit for clarification: This thread is not for a chronology of your day. Or multiple pics of the same thing. Please choose one picture (maybe two ;) ) as an example of something special from your day. If you have more than that, consider starting a trip...
