Cheers from Virgin Australia, a pre-departure sparkling wine on all afternoon/evening business class flights Australia-wide. ...and, a very selective cheers, (pre-departure sparkling wine) from Qantas (international) operating a domestic sector (flight numbered less than 400 within Australia).

Unsurprisingly, there are so many different types of economy class seats, from a variety of manufacturers... Recaro lists 5 different models as economy class - Economy Class - RECARO Aircraft Seating Safran also markets 5 different seats to fit an economy class cabin (scroll to the end of...

Lamb Rissole close up, with potato, garnished with cream, tomato, cucumbers...

Usually pita and the hummus on a separate plate on the side. Ooops, I should have mentioned that it was a 90 minutes scheduled service. (Ticketed arrival time minus ticketed departure time. i.e. how a passenger views schedules, not the crew.) So not a PER/international flight, where an...

Pita close up with a chicken salad. (Is this missing some hummus on the side?)

source: We have seen this happening at Delta Sky Clubs in the USA - where there are now regularly queues at the door of some lounges to get in, and long wait times (some abandoning the line, as their flights are called for departure, without ever entering). Pictured above is a JFK T4 Sky Club...

Possible?! I really can't recall if it was bits of the usual thigh they normally buy for everything or breast. 🤷‍♂️

I have flown on a Swiss A220, on the two seat side, and they did block the seat next to me. (They alternated between blocking window and aisle, presumably so no one would recline into you?)

I think the CM was thinking of this one? (The two lumps at the top are chicken.) Overcooked and messy plate potentially due to extended turbulence and delayed beginning of service during/after ascent.

I don't think I have ever been on a 5 cabin crew VA 737 flight. 90% of the time, the CM does an introduction prior to the safety briefing, and IME it's always 6 names; 2 driving at the front of the bus, and 4 in the back with the SLF. YMMV

IMO this is a major point of dissatisfaction flying J on a QF 737. Too often the overhead bins directly above row 1 are full of service equipment, reducing capacity for customer stowage, meaning bags going up behind you, and that downstream swim on disembarkation while everyone else moves...

Because officially I think it is only a Beyond/VIP benefit to have your order taken first. Some CMs are generous in extending it to their Platinum guests as well, but some don't, as it is not required service standard. As a fellow platinum, I suggest being thankful when it happens, and not...

I suspect that is the pesto in the little plastic tub pictured above the plate? Some CMs like to put the garnish on the dish for you, others like to leave it by the side for you to DIY. Looking back at how the lamb rissole has been served a few pages ago, it was a similar situation with that...

Chorizo, chorizo, chorizo.... everywhere all at once. (Oh, and TIM TAMS are back in the pantry.) veggie option +meat... seems to be a similar pumpkin mix, just added to a different type of pasta, than pictured up thread. +chorizo . Tim Tam - on request from the pantry.

Speaking of flags, Qantas is an Australian flagged carrier. Australia does not currently recognise Palestine as a nation state (although Australia supports finding a two state solution, as a pathway to potentially recognising one in the future). That said, I do have an issue with people who...

Perhaps more than any direct dollars, he needs flying billboards zooming around the sky? "Virgin Australia" being the local halo brand, which enables him to on sell/license the "Virgin" brand to franchises in other industries, where using that name can help cut through congested markets for new...

VA have proactively called and offered to re-book me onto QF (in the past) without me requesting it.

My advice is never padlock your international checked bags, it is a red cloth to all the bulls along its path between check in and reclaim, not the least of which are customs and security at South East Asian airports. They see a lock (once your bag is air-side) and will pull that bag for...

oops, my bad. (I just remember the ground pic looked like SYD T2 Virgin pier. But Rex does often park there too.)
