I'll try that tomorrow at SFO if I have time in between that and my domestic leg..

On an unrelated note, I was booked on a VA J rewards ticket on UA97 (BNE-SFO) today, which went tech on arrival due to a "fluid system" issue. UA Customer Service were going to send me via AKL with NZ and then realised I wasn't on a rev ticket and then (after 30 mins on the phone) tried to palm...

Dare I ask how the heck that works?? I wouldn't have thought that VA's goodness extended that far in VA2.0 😑

I've had two Plusgrade flights (SYD-PER & PER-BNE) in the last month both post the standard points and SC within 6 hours of flying, as has seemed to be the standard recently for VA flights on VA metal. Not sure where the issue lies.

PER to BNE tonight, 2330 departure. Minimum $225, bid $250, cleared at T-18.

Apologies...for some reason I saw 124 in your original post 🤦‍♂️

126 + 8 is actually 134...

Have you got any examples there? Generally Velocity is accurate for booking availability for UA J Award flights.

Any thought to adding a tech stop until the Max arrives to enable more seats to be sold??

SYD was potato croquettes and scrambled eggs.

Mine came through at T-24, however I'd also bid slightly more than just the minimum. There'd be an algorithm, however no idea how it works.

Thanks for the update. A little disingenuous to say "it's not working"..although there were more sighs around the forecast delay due to SYD being on single runway operations (which resolved itself by the time we got there).

Do the ex-KLM 737-700s have IFE? Was on VH-NQY this morning and apologies were made pre-departure for it being inoperable.

Onboard now, only 3/8 in J...so I'm guessing people aren't biting on the minimum cost to upgrade these days 🤷‍♂️

In the BNE lounge for the next 15-20, can guest 3. Coffee queue is long but the lounge is relatively quiet. Hot/warm offering is Ham & Cheese croissants or Cheese & Tomato croissants this morning.

Why suggest an "enhancement" for something that most of us already do?? 😎

SYD to PER tomorrow morning on the 0915 departure. Bid $300 with the minimum being $265. Upgrade cleared at T-24...I noticed that only 1/8 J was taken as at T-48, so I'm guessing I could have gone absolute minimum but didn't want to take the risk. I have the red eye back in a week's time, so...

You mean to say that you don't do OLCI at T-48??

Or you could drive to OOL and get a J return to SYD for (generally) cheaper.

VA don't have any international lounges to open up...I think the best we can hope for is an agreement to use another lounge however that's doubtful when Bain don't want to spend $$
