I imagine you should have lounge access in both Melbourne and Abu Dhabi: https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/flying-status/flying-with-status/platinum-membership#20 https://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en/travel-info/at-the-airport/lounge/international/#etihad

PER-BNE 22nd April Quiche - was a bit average unfortunately (like my photography skills!) Cheese & crackers were handed out in the second half of the flight.

I was mostly hoping for seat selection on the KLM website after adding my QFF details. The KLM website is obviously set up to allow the QFF details to be added (it's shown as a choice in the "Loyalty" details of the passenger information), but it's buggy/doesn't save.

Yep - same here, attempting to add QFF numbers shows "Successfully updated!", but retrieving the booking again shows no frequent flyer details associated with the passenger. :mad:

Thanks for the tip, but I haven't changed the name. I had to tweak the phone number (it was adding an additional (second) 61 to the front and then complains it's not a valid Australian number). I'll try phoning tomorrow.

It would be easier, although in this case the value of the flights is more like ~$450 (PER-MEL return choice fares)

Having problems with the compflight site again yesterday/today. Can go through and select flights, but get a generic "Unable to process booking" message at the final step. Anyone else used this with success recently?

I always thought a good use of them in WA might be to Christmas/Cocos Islands where there is only economy anyway, and prices tend to be quite high.

Just received an email with this offer:

Hot breakfast options in Perth on Friday were a ham and egg croissant, or a waffle with maple syrup.

Same here :(

Does anyone know if to board a VTL flight and transit in SIN, you need to have only been in VTL approved countries in the previous 14 days? I can see from the government guidelines, there is no requirement for travel history - just proof of vaccination and possibly also a covid test to board...

True, I was thinking more when people might go on a longer trip and travel around Europe rather than getting there and back from Australia. Same as Alitalia and Air Berlin didn't really have connections with VA flights.

Off the top of my head I believe TAP, SAS, Copa, and Lufthansa/Swiss/Austrian might use Sabre well. Even discounting Star Alliance, VA probably needs a new Europe partner (not that the previous ones were that great). Lufthansa could be a good option.

VA592 PER-HBA on 28th November Southern chicken burger in brioche with carrot cake. Mainland crackers and cheese were served as a starter before this was brought out.

Unfortunately no business rewards seats available for both my upcoming flights :(

I guess with the loss of the A330s, that east-west flights might be more frequent on 737s to replace them (assuming a "normal" demand as per pre-covid, which is probably an assumption you can't make).

I believe the power in Business is in the recessed storage/pocket on the side of each seat.
