Agree, the Delta partnership was much stronger in that regard. Eliminating domestic lounge access in the states for VA status pax is very scummy

My understanding is that it's a Sydney airport issue rather than a Virgin decision. The airport is prioritising security staff in the main terminal rather than allocate staff to an exclusive security channel. I feel like they should have made a compromise... Create a temporary priority channel...

When does your travel bank balance expire? As you mentioned, the benefit of booking a flex is that it'll reduce the amount of points required for an upgrade as well as provide the base flex fare SC and points earn rate. See here: Flight Upgrades The downside is that flex fares are considerably...

That's a tight connection. You'll have less than 90 minutes to change terminals and clear security in a best case scenario. If there's a long delay or cancellation, there's a very high likelihood of missing the intl leg. But as the connecting flight is ticketed through Korean Air if you miss...

I too would like to understand the missing Link

I've been waiting for an airside lounge for years and glad to see it's finally here. I tend to leave the lounge as late as possible for my flight which has resulted in me almost missing my flight numerous times because of a security pile up.

Hi Ferdsea, you might find this post helpful: Gold Flying Through AUH, lounge? The Al Dhabi is the lounge you have access to as a gold transiting AUH. The lounge does have showers too!

As bad as the media makes it out to be, a lot of the flights are operating normally or with minor delays, I wouldn't necessarily cancel a trip over the concerns of all of this travel chaos, just be prepared. On the bright side of being stranded and dealing with long queues, Lufthansa put us up...

Been to 5 of the 10 in the last month, some of them multiple times. Frankfurt was the worst for me by far. If you think 3 hours in queues is bad at SYD etc. I was in a queue at Frankfurt from 10am to 20:30pm... Goes without saying I missed my flight and wasn't able to rebook for 2 days (all...

Was in Spain earlier in the month and someone bought a dog on board... It was barking most of the flight and then it urinated on the floor. Cabin crew did the best they could help clean up but the smell stunk out the cabin. I was far enough away so it wasn't too bad but I feel sorry for the...

I was told that the Etihad business lounge doesn't accept VA partner gold but you could try your luck... As mentioned, it's the Al Dhabi lounge in T1 that golds have access to.

Hi everyone, typing this in my 4 hour layover in AUH. The information I was reading online was conflicting and the staff I asked didn't seem to have a clear answer. The good news is that there is a lounge Golds can access. Al Reem is definately still closed though. Here's what you do: when...

I'm a VA Gold flying through AUH tonight onwards to London in Y with Etihad. VA states I'll have access to a lounge but does not specify which one. I've heard Al Reem is permanently closed and the Etihad business lounge doesn't accept Gold pax, does anyone know which lounge I'd have access to?

Don't they get business lounge access in T3?

It's a bit of a spread for me... Zoom for video calls. Slack for work. Signal for AU friends. FB messenger for family not on signal, Whatsapp for friends I haven't converted to Signal... yet.

Why are you booking this far ahead for a domestic flight? There's very few discounted fares available this far out, most coupon codes don't apply and most of the current sale fares don't cover the Christmas peried. You could wait a few more months and still have fares around the same price as...
