I have never tried over the phone, only in the lounge and only if it doesn't look like a full flight. I also don't request one if I have a bulkhead type seat as I am happy with just the one bonus. The success rate is highly variable - sometimes the flight is too full to do it, sometimes the...

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but XFB (ex EK A332) now has wireless IFE. It was announced today but might have been around a couple of weeks as I noticed my device had connected to the network when I last disembarked.

For now the magical non block is holding (have boarded). It was definitely vacant and not yellow on the gate check in screen, so we can rule out it being a change in how blocks show up. By the way, this was a lounge agent, not gate agent.

Now a platinum shadow is clearly not a published benefit, so there is no obligation to provide one. I am sure there are difficult customers, and I don't think I am right up the scale, so I am disappointed to be lied to, twice about a platinum shadow. Keen followers of my posts (which is quite...

I am looking forward to XFA and XFB exiting the fleet, not because I particularly hate them, but because Virgin still can't get their act together on seat allocations for them. I am flying PER-MEL on Friday afternoon. Around 9am this morning I check and see that the seat map has changed to...

The length of the stadium is a stade or stadion: Stadion (unit of length) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I haven't received any notifications yet for the six or so flights of mine that changed, all but one of which were booked direct through Virgin. This is one reason to have a booking monitoring tool setup - in my case the MyFlights app has proven useful.

And now 22Aug is down to 4 flights not 5, so I got moved 3.5 hrs forward to 2pm, which is better than backwards onto the redeye. I am glad to have the myflights app to keep on top of this.

My flight from Sunday has not posted; I put in a retro claim yesterday morning but still no points or SCs

Good point, I think the airside hotel is this: Louis' Tavern Dayroom & CIP Lounges : Thailand's Transit Hotel at Suvarnabhumi Airport It does look to be 24hrs, but as you say not cheap (eg. AUD150+ for 8 hours)

I think we spied little snoozing rooms off the corridor (to the showers) when in the BKK F lounge. The private-ish rooms in the main area would be too light and noisy to easily sleep, albeit very comfortable for normal waiting.

It looks like overnight there were some noticeable changes to the MEL-PER and PER-MEL schedules. I am not sure whether this is to make do with A332 (depending on how XFA/B retirement works) or because they thing the flight times work better. I will cover here the flight that affects me most -...

I wouldn't have thought that 737 fuselages fit in the railway loading gauge, but this caused me to take a look, and they are even used as the example cargo on Wikipedia.

I am in a similar position as this, so was very surprised when mine went through within 24 hours. I didn't hide the situation, for example the business address and home address were the same.

Lack of available gates still causing fun; VA694 from Perth sitting on apron at least 30 mins due to late arrival of previous A330 flight. It looks like only Gate 12 used for A330s at the moment

Erk, I thought that there was no free luggage on DL for VA plats, only priority tags. Or are you simply successful in convincing them otherwise?

A few months ago there was done discussion as to the need for the temporary corridor from T3 to gates 11+. There has been a bit of progress now so I thought I would share some low quality photos. The shortage of gates seems to be causing some fun and games. My flight started at Gate 2...

Thanks for the info, although in my case if will be the TG461 BKK-MEL flight that is the incoming aircraft for TG462 that affects me. This is a daytime service so less impact

VA at MEL has had a few gates out of action recently and currently I think for apron and terminal works by the airport. I had wondered what impacts this would have on operations.

Applied online and uploaded docs at the end of the application, all approved within 24 hrs. Existing Citibank customer but no current credit card. Asked for and received 15k limit, would happily have had less but that seems to be the floor for some premium cards.
