    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Never had this happen to me before... Checked in at the lounge in SYD tonight, they didn't issue me a boarding pass and didn't think anything of it as I'd use my digital boarding pass. Arrived at the gate at boarding time and the boarding pass button was greyed out. I inquired about it at the...

    Email received from VA - Share your thoughts, and lunch with our Velocity CEO

    You could also argue that it's the families putting a bigger strain on the lounge than the guested non-VA pax

    Virgin Australia B737 Max 8

    Is this the first livery paint job we've seen since the logo rebrand? I guess this confirms they won't be adopting the inverted colourway on the tail.

    What cheeses me off

    Millennium bridge in London is the most recent example I can think of. Had to be closed again within 2 days of opening.

    What cheeses me off

    "Conversation analyses revealed some interesting patterns, according to the researchers.

Drivers also talked more when using cell phones, perhaps, the authors...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Correct, there are no international lounge arrangements for VA metal flights. You'll have access to the VA Dom lounge in MEL but I realise that's not ideal or necessarily appealing.

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    This is a significant weakening of the lounge proposition whether it affects you or not. This is a benefit is paid for through loyalty or your QC membership fee, if lounge overcrowding is the problem, that's QFs problem to solve. Blaming customers for lounge yield mismanagement is the weakest...

    Gold Coast Virgin Lounge closed "for construction"
