It all comes back to staffing. If the lounge isn't staffed appropriately and managed (as well) then things like this don't get done. Keep sending feedback people.

Whilst YMMV, my recent experience with the Premium queue at VA has been excellent. Rarely more than 7 or 8 in it, which MAY be because the Premium sign is stashed to the wall side and the "Assistance" sign is much more prominent. 😎 Unfortunately the Premium Lounge entry has been shut outside of...

Still better than REX'S denial (admittedly many years ago) to refund ANY of my incorrectly booked SYD-ABX when I meant to book ABX-SYD 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Yes - in both directions.

Agreed, VA should be better. By contrast, Mrs Hawk and I went BNE-SYD & return last weekend in J - both without a divider - and not a single invader (for want of a better word) from Y. As always, YMMV. 🤷‍♂️

I had a TSV-CNS booked for early 2014 on an ATR however the route got canned and they tried to re-route me TSV-BNE-CNS. QF runs 5-6 services a day, which also link into their milk run (CNS-TSV-MKY-ROK) as well as to Horn Island and ISA. Whilst it might be nice in theory, I doubt VA could make...

In BNE lounge for the next hour, can guest 2. Looks like scrambled eggs and Sausages for breakfast again

Onboard VH-IWX and we have old layout, but no divider between rows 2 and 3. Makes for a LOT of legroom in row 3 today 😎

In SYD for the next lounge, can guest 3. Sausages and scrambled eggs on offer this morning - reasonably busy without being full.

Admittedly I'm not a fan of eggs either, however with a pinch of salt these were okay. Also noting that the bacon, beans and rosti were all (relatively) separate to the eggs on the plate too :) I'm surprised with the current cost of eggs that alternative breakfast options aren't more prevalent...

Yesterday morning on my BNE-SYD we had a Byron Bay cookie pair supplied on the side with breakfast...forgetful me didn't snaffle them and they went back to the galley unopened 😪 Breakfast options were either Bacon, scrambled eggs, beans and rosti (which was delicious even if the eggs were a...

It's all good, I had to drive home from the airport last night. More a comment in this case than anything.

On a delayed MEL-BNE last night (353) - scheduled 20:50 departure pushed back to 21:55, which ended up being 22:18 push back and 22:48 wheels up...courtesy of some Melbourne fog rolling in as well. We were on VH-VUQ, so new layout, no divider or "magic rope", however didn't have any invasions...

Bid minimum + $1 (yes, $1) and was successful on tonight's MEL-BNE....Mrs Hawk also bid minimum + $1 and was unsuccessful as we're on separate PNR's. Is the protocol to send back a glass of red and crackers?? #askingforafriend 😎

The dividers shouldn't make a difference really. The existing VA cabin dividers took space out that it may not have needed to, whereas the FJ divider could well only be to top of seat height. What they bring to short-haul is that differentiation between J and Y that would cost them very little.

In BNE lounge for the next hour. Can guest 2. Reasonably busy. Fusilli pasta w/sausage or creamy Broccoli penne on offer today

I find that if I make a flight search in the app and then don't proceed I'll get the reminder email, but haven't had a bonus offered before, so it must be a new targeting strategy the Work Experience kids have come up with.

Called Velocity and spoke with offshore. They told me I'd have the statement within 2-3 business days...it was in my inbox within 30 minutes. Current total is sub 7K, so Forever Gold isn't going to be a target for the moment.

Always interested to see how far above minimum for a successful bid.

What was the minimum?
