The totally off-topic thread Merry Christmas everyone!

This doesn't sound good, I'll be there on Thursday to test out the new Priority Lane, if it's not policed decently I'll be happy to send in a complaint!

*Bump* http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/meetings-and-social-events/feb-2013-virgin-lounge-function-45962.html There's no truth to the rumour we are calling this the "TonyHancock Priority Club requalification party"

Hi All, As some of you may remember I moved from OOL to MEL in February and have never looked back. Virgin was very lovely and held a small function so I could meet some of the Melbourne AFF locals. It was suggested a similar event could be held in a years time. So here's my proposal: 22nd...

Sydney VA Domestic Lounge Pictures The gates look very well designed with cut outs for the barcode scanners and other tech equipment. I love the smooth sculpted desks. I love the look of those new flight display boards at the gates, although I can't help but feel I should be shouting my order...

Sydney VA Domestic Lounge Pictures Going off the photos I'm not a fan. It looks like a high-capacity holding pen with booze and too much white. Hopefully this layout is temporary while they renovate the lower floor, and then reveal a more traditional Virgin layout.

This article on AFF caught my eye today: Sydney Airport lounge update: Virgin Australia/Etihad, Singapore Airlines, MAS - Flights | hotels | frequent flyer | business class - Australian Business Traveller It made me wonder if Etihad and Virgin are being so picky to find the right space for a...

I think we shouldn't get too carried away. I've got a feeling when the transition first happens, it'll be a few steps backwards, then slowly improving and adding new features through 2013.

re: Strategy to get "Early" JQ check-in for International Yes it started off slowly but really it flew by, I as fortunate to have some great company. Exactly, after convincing them they seemed to have no problems issuing us with boarding passes, the JQ staffer said "That's an awful lot of...

re: Strategy to get "Early" JQ check-in for International After a firm "Yes you can" talk to the Qantas Club staff in SYD T2 they issued boarding passes, however when we got to T1 there was a Jetstar counter open checking in an earlier flight, so we managed to get a solid 7hrs in the F Lounge...

Re: Sydney VA Domestic Lounge Pictures Sorry but my flight was late yesterday and I had to rush through the terminal, didn't get a chance to see the lounge. Flying MEL-OOL today so if my plane diverts to SYD I'll have a squiz ;)

re: Strategy to get "Early" JQ check-in for International Also I'm on JQ35 tomorrow so I'll let you all know how I go getting into the F Lounge early.

re: Strategy to get "Early" JQ check-in for International No I had a D sticker on both BPs, but in Sydney I was suppose to 1. Checkin, 2. Clear Immigration (and have my JQ35 BP stamped) 3. Board the plane. However since 1 & 2 didn't occur I had no SYD customs stamp on my BP so upon arrival in...

Re: Sydney VA Domestic Lounge Pictures Looks like AFF will be bringing the world daily updates live from the lounge!

Re: Sydney VA Domestic Lounge Pictures No but I'll be there on Tuesday briefly.

*grumble grumble*

The only time I find Priority checkin at OOL useful is on Weekends when the general queue is stretching to the back door, even then it's a 2-3min wait in the priority queue. Is it me or is it every time I'm checking in at OOL there is always some platinum with a problem in his booking and takes...

My experience mirrors yours, the only people Planely has matched me with I've already know.

It's lovely, but like the previous Jetstar lounge it feels small and dark. Really needs windows.
