    My account mysteriously locked up one time, after too many failed entry attempts (not done by me)... i put it down to my name and ff number being printed so clearly on my velocity bag tags.

    Qantas to Remove Domestic Boarding Pass Printing from Kiosks

    I got told off for trying to check in at a Qantas Club front desk last year, after doing it for decades when flying HLO, I was advised she could only check me in to the lounge and not my flight, I needed to do it online next time, before I got to the lounge front desk. IMO its time for QAN to...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Not for almost a year - but I doubt the basics have changed too much. So for a non-breakfast flight, I would be expecting 4 service items - Mains and cheese&crackers, plus a dessert, plus an antipasto. Look back in this thread to here - Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service...

    Hairspray and Domestics

    Oh, and make sure they have a cap (or have a switch or slide to make them inoperable)... lose your cap (or can't turn them off) and they won't get through security.

    Hairspray and Domestics

    All aerosols out of bags and into the tray to be inspected at domestic security. (So make sure to pack them at the top of the bag for easy access.) Limit is personal use. (Which in reality could be quite a few, if traveling HLO). They can add up ; hairspray, deodorant, sunscreen, skin bronzer...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I was wondering about this, with the "naming" title of the lead flight attendant seemingly changing every flight. On B737s, it always use to be a C.S. (Cabin Supervisor), but I know on long haul they had 2 "named" flight attendant positions, IIRC I think one was a "manager" and the other was a...

    Qantas lounge Gold Coast - drink limit

    The VA lounge was built on top of the airport extension, when the building moved closer towards the runway/tarmac, basically where all the tarmac gardens and old undercover walk ways once were - that is now terminal. The Qantas Club is pretty much where it always was, it's just that with said...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I agree, one of the better examples of how to do it. Delta Burger - domestic first class And then there are airlines IMO that really shouldn't even bother trying to attempt it... Qantas Burger - international business class So - I too wonder if Virgin will give it a go? (Not the healthiest...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    IMO the new owners of Virgin Australia actually have the diverse corporate synergy which enables them to creatively & successfully; deconstruct, reconstruct or even de-shell Mexican food, and present it in a more; sophisticated, healthy, and in-flight friendly way. Correct, it's the vegetarian...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    hey jakeseven7, thanks for all your negative emojis to my posts in this particular thread - I appreciate that you, and company, went through absolute cough when Virgin went through administration👎 (and IMO Bain/Jayne should have identified that, and personally contact you, when rebuilding the...

    Rex to fly between Australian capital cities

    I think turning Business into an "upgrade class" is the way to go (but they need a frequent flyer program to do it), plus convert 2 of the extra legroom economy rows to Business, for a total of 4 J rows! (i.e. configure like they do in North America) I have played "the upgrade game" in the USA...

    Bain Capital takes Control of Virgin Australia

    So what I get out of that, by reading between the lines, is that they may be in discussions with someone to buy a chunk of the business - but are very publicly flagging that if they don't get the right price offer, then they can re-list on the ASX later instead.

    Virgin Australia to lease more 737s

    Oh no it doesn't. IMO Virgin needs to buy the redesigned version where the centre console doesn't come down as far. No room left underneath for storing a small bag under the centre, so you can keep your foot space clear. Row 1 arm rests, viewed from row 2. There is a lever to help eject...

    I think people have talked about the Poke, but not pictured the Poke, so here are a couple: 1.5hr scheduled service (i.e. mains & cheese+crackers) Tofu Poke again - close up

    Transiting through USA to Australia - testing requirements

    Remember there is no such thing as "international air-side transit" in the USA, like there is in Australia (and many other countries) - so if you fly into the USA, then you enter the USA, along with all the associated requirements, e.g. ESTA. (So there is no opportunity to transit the country...

    COVID-19 and Tennis

    OK. So perhaps ATAGI has been asked to participate in two different sets of advice. at a federal level, (international advice) for those who are unvaccinated, and their eligibility to enter Australia. [fed gov decision - basically past infection doesn't cut the mustard] at a state level...

    COVID-19 and Tennis

    IMO it makes Australia look like a absolute backwater on the international stage. Surely this could have all been sorted this out earlier, well before he even set foot on the plane in Dubai? IMO this childish bickering/politicking between Canberra & Melbourne is puerile, and a stain on all our...
