    Is the weather at OOL airport that bad?

    Like others I have spoken to I received a call from VA advising me of my options well before departure. I was under the impression everybody on a disrupted service got a call. Source: http://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en/bookings/flight-status/travel-alerts/

    Is the weather at OOL airport that bad?

    One of the interesting things I noticed over the past few days was that VA cancelled all their flights, giving advanced notice to everybody (ie I can stay at home and sleep in), however some of the other airlines (JQ, Air Asia, Scoot) seem to have the "let's wait around and see if it gets...

    Feb 2013 Virgin Lounge Function MEL

    Hi All, After speaking with the Melbourne lounge, they've said they would love to host us all again, however with the transition to Sabre, and some minor lounge maintenance required over the next month, it's going to be a bit difficult to host a function. This isn't a no as such, just "not...

    Lounge For Cairns Confirmed

    The OOL Lounge had daily updates with photos, well before the construction even started. I expect none the less from the people of Cairns.

    Funny how they've disappeared now. I've since been told one is the NZ Lounge in CHC, the other is the EY T3 Lounge in AUH.

    The totally off-topic thread

    Doing some quick maths I can't find an aircraft (777,787,747,380) that can take off on the current runway at OOL with enough fuel to reach USA, the runway just isn't long enough.

    Velocity Changes incl SC earn on ASAs, SC by sector and baggage changes

    I was under the impression that all bookings made pre Jan 12, you'd have to call up, but all bookings made post Jan 12, could be done online. FWIW this is true for any changes to a booking, if it was made before the changeover to Sabre, the only channel which you can change it will be the call...

    Velocity Changes incl SC earn on ASAs, SC by sector and baggage changes

    Once the Sabre transition happens we'll earn status credits for each sector taken, rather than for an entire trip. http://t.co/Ak6GcKQJ Bad news? Decreased baggage allowances.... Again.

    OOL Priority Queue

    Sitting in the Virgin Lounge now, I was impressed at how heavily signed the priority queue was, makes it pretty hard to accidentally go down it, saw about 3 people get to the entrance and turn around to the regular queue. Worked great for me, huge snaking regular queue and just 3 people in...
