    Think this is the best slot: dinner time in the VA lounge, any of them

    On my many Sundays at MEL I don't recall seeing any special dinner items, but I have midweek.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Do you mean the BNE overflow lounge that Virgin refer to in announcements as "the Cafe"? If so, I think its main use is to be less noisy and have seats available at times the main lounge is packed. There's a couple of nooks in there you could have explored to double your walking time to 8 seconds.

    I think a one way booking is possible, just at the return price.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Yes, PER T3 (main terminal, not the one for regional flights) I don't mind the rest of the lounge despite the lack of views. I find showers in lounges frequently lack good ventilation and so you end up sweaty from being in there to try and was off sweat. In this case, that constant dampness...

    My experience of the showers in Sydney has been better than that; no - much further west

    Mixed class award booking (J/Y) on VA/DL

    Was there any first class award availability on the DL flight? This should price as business, and I have proven that it was possible to book it as such on a standalone flight, but only by staying on the phone a while and providing links to the Velocity website

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    I'm in a VA lounge now but instead of naming it, I thought we could instead play "guess which lounge based on the amount and patterns of mould on the shower ceiling"

    Cabin crew filling row 3&4 lockers

    I have seen the crew bags in the row 3/4 locker but not the bad attitude only the usual helpfulness. The former is a bit of a pain, but the latter would really annoy me.

    ADL to PER on an Embraer190!!!

    I can only comment on the hard product as it was an economy only flight where I managed to snare a business seat, however I was in Row 2 in the pair on the right (with a colleague) and it felt identical to the similar seating position in J in 73H.

    Thai Airways business class vs. Air Asia business class- is there a clear winner?

    I think there is an error on that latest Thai product chart for Sydney (and others). Unless there are some changes happening I didn't think there were any flat bed J seats on the 747-400 (any layout).

    Thai Airways business class vs. Air Asia business class- is there a clear winner?

    I think that 465/466 are sloping and 461/462 are flat. That's certainly what we had recently. There are two types of sloping seat depending on which model 777 you get on 461/462. The 77W on 465/466 has Sogerma solstys staggered seats as per the Thai A380

    Athens - Stay or Pass?

    Was there for a couple of nights two weeks ago, worth it and no protests despite elections (albeit local and European not national). The traffic wasn't as bad as I feared, even drove straight into the middle of the city after landing as my first introduction to Greece and no great dramas. I...

    It was a Chicken Korma in BNE tonight, pretty good quality for a domestic lounge
