Glad this came. Useful for next year's requalifying of WP. My only question is how one can book flights to Jun 27, 2025, when the offer is to book by Jul 18 and the VA website will only allow you to book up til Jun 13 if you book by that deadline!

Flatbeds are needed for flights like this! I wouldn't say no if it was an SQ 737-8 where there are flatbeds in business but a recliner on the MH 737-8? No, thank you!

VA567 SYD-PER tonight. Tried the chicken karaage. It was nice. Rice was on the dry side but, otherwise, went well with a G&T.

One of my favourite meals on VA. Glad it has stayed with the updates in the menu. This was on VA562 PER-SYD last week.

I loved your letter to Jetstar, Cloud9! Gave me a few chuckles. I have a similar gripe about JQ cancelling flights but not rebooking me on the equivalent QF flight. I experienced this earlier this year when JQ cancelled my flight to AKL from SYD in the early hours of the morning that I was due...

Looks good!

Will there be any issues transiting in Singapore if arriving on QF and then connecting to JQ on separate tickets but with no checked luggage (which means I can online check-in for the JQ flight)? I recall there being some problems with this during Covid.

Status definitely plays a role in how orders are taken. On my flight, it was 1AC followed by 2DF, then me in 1F followed by 2AC and then 1D. 1D was a last-minute upgrade (low status) and 2AC were also last-minute upgraders.

I definitely have a sweet tooth but I took one bite and it was not great... I couldn't take another bite! I also don't like dessicated coconut.

Breakfast offering SYD-PER on VA551. Everything was nice except for those pink coconut ball things. Get rid of those, please!!

How can they justify increasing prices when there are less lounges in the VA network than before?!

Next lot of AY flights posted 5 to 6 days later. Happy with that.

First set of flights came through after a week. 8 days to be exact.

You need zolpidem or zopiclone, my friend! I use zolpidem when I want to get at least 6 hours of solid sleep. I used it on my last flight and ended up sleeping 7-8 hours on the 13-hour flight and I was not jet-lagged at all! I agree that being comfortable is important. Worst J seat I've...

I'm a good sleeper and don't even need eye shades or ear plugs! Do you take any sleeping tablets to help you sleep on the flight?

I'd definitely go with 2A/2L on their A350 and 1A/1L on their A330. I'm a good sleeper, so any noise or light from the galley doesn't wake me up. My only criticism of the seat is the seatbelt positions when you're lying flat. They literally strap you in so it's quite uncomfortable. I don't have...

No, the reverse herringbone seats are the ones you find on airlines like VN, CI, BA and VA widebodies previously. They are narrow and when in flat mode, push you further into the footwell leaving you less room to bend your knees when on your side. That's why I like AY's seat so much. I'm also...

Same with me. That's why I like the seat because it's wide enough for both. Those reverse Herringbone ones are definitely the ones you have to pick if you hsve a preferred side you sleep on.

I love Finnair's AirLounge seat. I love how wide it is and it's great for side sleepers like me. Just did 13 hours on their A350 from HKG to HEL and I slept well, continuously and solidly for almost 8 hours of it! Sat in 2L, which has a larger footwell. The lack of recline doesn't bother me at...

The pumpkin was actually quite nice!
