    Autobahn quality in old E Germany?

    From what I remember of the Autobahnen in that area, they had been mostly upgraded to a good standard post reunification and had less traffic than in the former west.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    In MEL now, down near the piano of twitter fame. It's roped off, so maybe guests need to tweet to gain access. In here until around 5pm

    Velocity/Virgin websites are RUBBISH

    I have a new problem with the website - newly created, not newly discovered. This problem did not exist a month or two ago when I last looked in this area of the website. When I go from the VA website into manage my bookings using my VFF number I see five bookings with no option to see my...

    Airbus XWB 350 set up

    It looks like this to me: Solstys - Groupe Sogerma I have only flown this seat on the Thai A380. It was pretty good (and I will only ever complain quietly about a full flat bed in business), however I found that the chunky hinge for the table was exactly where my knees wanted to be.

    Positive experience with call centre and change/mistake policies - 24 hr grace period

    This seems too small a thing to warrant its own thread, but I wanted to report on a positive experience with Qantas. I am booking a lot of flights to and from Queensland at the moment for work travel (admittedly many not with Qantas) and due to not checking closely enough I booked a BNE-MEL...

    @TigerairAU TIger launches the InfrequentFlyer Club - $100 voucher giveaway

    Nothing for me yet and my membership number looked to be in the mid 2000s. I don't think I have deleted a Tiger email from my spam folder today

    Devaluation of AA Awards

    Oooh, does it come with any special "enhancements"? I'll only be happy if you can sell me it's lowered suspension that somehow increased its ground clearance.

    Devaluation of AA Awards

    I am now confused as to why people would be unhappy. The email I received from AA (and US) to advertise the changes clearly says "redeem for less" and doesn't mention anywhere words like "increase", "more" or "remove". Sure they have also made "updates", but only to baggage policies. With all...

    @TigerairAU TIger launches the InfrequentFlyer Club - $100 voucher giveaway

    re: @TigerairAU TIger launches the InfrequentFlyer Club - $100 voucher giveaway It gave me a laugh, and of Tigerair I certainly am an infrequent flyer, so it was only fitting to join

    The Holy Grail - 100% Share Promo Coming???

    All done now for me, they were posting very quickly this time. A total of 150k new miles purchased using the method of A->C, then C->A and C->B where A and B are the accounts I wanted the miles in and C was a handy route to achieve that.

    Config changes (to XFA, XFB) and seat allocation

    Lottery isn't meant to be capitalised, I am just having fun with the iPhone app that is also preventing me fixing that

    Config changes (to XFA, XFB) and seat allocation

    Another version of this today: Config changed at around the midpoint of online check in to XFB (so 24hrs before departure). Luckily hadn't done check in by that point. Somehow the system had decided that 10H = 12J for me and filled up all the pair seats in front of that. Luckily I managed...

    Revamped Melbourne lounge

    I also find many of Virgin's chairs in lounges pretty uncomfortable. The worst I have found are not new, the left over chairs in the PER mini hidden area. Many of the newer ones are not better, and are particularly uncomfortable for eating.

    Misnamed "flexible" fares - is this a winner?

    I was looking at Air Canada for some travel within North America, and was rather surprised by the change fee on their "flex" fare: $200 CAD + fare difference* (their bolding not mine) This is for their cross-border flights to the US, refer aircanada.com - Flights - Low fares, 5 clear options...

    Dividend Miles to use same chart for redemption on OW airlines as used for AA metal

    Looking at the chart itself, it seems to me that it is a US Airways chart for redemptions that include travel on AA, nothing more. This was on the mobile site however so I may have missed sonething

    A330 - XFA/B - Refit?

    I was on XFB on VA691 yesterday and I am pretty sure 6f had no tray table on that one either as the cabin crew tried offering the occupant a purple plastic tray as an alternative. My personal IFE worked fine - as soon as I knew I was on XFA or XFB I made sure I had a book and never pulled the...
