At the moment, I am enjoying the cookies... ask the CM what's available at the sweet end of the spectrum, it does change every now and then.

Two halves of one boiled egg IIRC. Personally, I liked their move from bread roll, to cheese & crackers (when they went cafe' style menu after receivership). YMMV (As posted by others previously, often on the late afternoon flights, many regulars upfront forgo the meal on the tray service, and...

Like the vast majority of the VA vego dish options, I think it is very clever. Initial presentation is typical Virgin; colourful, playful and enticing... and then when you start dissecting it, there is real substance underneath - with quite a bit more eggplant and tomato than just what is...

Close up with the Mediterranean Salad.

Fully staffed, human assisted priority check in, is now on the far left.

And the international terminal departing flight had full bedding presented at the seat when boarding (pad, cover, pillow, etc), on the domestic terminal departing flight nothing, plus I heard someone nearby ask an FA for a pillow, and none was found. (Both day time flights.)

For dessert, I was offered a Christmas ice cream as well as a dessert wine on the international flight. Which I opened myself and ate. On the domestic sector, there was a box plated with the original meal, so I opened it to find my dessert. Later in the flights there were additional...

I asked for the same drink on both flights and below is what was delivered on the international flight. Compared to what was delivered on the domestic flight. After enjoying my pre-meal drink, the tray tables were set by the crew. On the international flight, a linen was placed over...

For those that care to scan back through over 200 pages of posts in this thread, it is documented that prior to covid, Qantas offered an "international level of meal service" on domestic transcontinental flights. (Take a look back if you dare!) What I want to do today though, is demonstrate...

IME at the moment, perhaps due to the pricing mentioned above, Virgin are actually selling out of business class on many routes, hence the lack of availability. Pre-covid, I would often have an empty seat next to my in business class. Post-covid, I have not had one flight where business class...

hmmmmm... a close up!

As the title says, read it here - Emirates Secures Exclusive Rights as the Only Airline to Serve Moet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot and Dom Perignon Until 2024 "Emirates has secured exclusive rights to become the only airline in the world allowed to serve Champagne made by Moët & Chandon, Veuve...

I think Flight Attendants are meant to give the plane a quick clean between sectors? (IIRC the only airline in Australia whose FAs don't have to clean between sectors is Qantas?) As an aside, priority boarding back to normal last week in Sydney: two scanners processing the priority queue until...

odd that you say that, i saw extremely similar ones used by Virgin in Melbourne at T4... I remember because of the two cut outs in the middle for hands to hold them, and move them easily. The Virgin guy I saw wondering along the T4 pier was removing them after a flight had departed (as T4...

This is actually a really interesting property from a real estate perspective. I am going to assume that many on here realise that the majority of "hotels" in Australia are actually just strata unit complexes, with an on-site letting agent, who short term rent out apartments, like a real estate...

Interesting! And yes, had the same issue a few times over the years.

Generally over summer, if a national company offers phone service, and only states until 9pm, it should mean midnight Sydney/Melbourne time. (Websites can probably geolocate you when displaying time.)

I had a Japanese CM on a flight this week, so I asked her... She said she couldn't say much, but was allowed to say that Virgin would be "hopping" to HND. So, possibly that means Japan will become Virgin's Kangaroo Route? haha

OK. So basically what this amounts to is: 1) almost doubling the time for initial priority boarding to pass through the scanners (by effectively halving the scanners from 2 to 1 during the first phase of priority boarding)... and it is noticeable, if you hang back and wait, and watch. 2) just...

OW! Not fair on AA, who have just opened (in conjunction with BA) some very nice new status-access lounges at their JFK terminal! 1st look: American Airlines, British Airways unveil 3 gorgeous lounges in JFK's Terminal 8 - The Points Guy The Soho Lounge: basically a OneWorld Emerald Lounge...
