    Do we get "conned" by upgrades!

    True, most are TSI trendlines. I do know a few TSI comfortlines got snuck into Sydney after driving one myself while on holiday!

    Do we get "conned" by upgrades!

    Firstly I am one of Harriato's counter staff, so let me try and give some insight into the whole upgrading policy to try and assist with future rentals. :) In my opinion I don't think going from a Premium full size to a standard SUV (X-Trail/Rav4) is an upgrade. I do certainly know that had it...

    SIN/KUL/HKG/BKK-LHR Business fares on UL $2000~ Return

    Sorry to bump an old thread.... I used the EY MNL-LON/FCO-SYD J fare a couple of weeks and ago and it was fantastic. Yet I can't seem to see it still there at the price quoted for later in the year. Anyone had any success with this? Or has Etihad pulled the fare.

    Apparent Age discrimination in order of service in Business

    Re: Virgin Australia Business Class Catering - Service, Meal times, Menus While I also feel like I get treated differently due to being a younger Plat (low 20s) I've never felt that I'm getting less of a service because of my age by DJ staff in both J & Y. Sure the first name greetings while...

    Skytrans - Sydney to Toowoomba - 19th August 2012

    Very interesting TR, was curious to try the route myself having grown up in Toowoomba. So the flight actually lands in Toowoomba, not the Oakey army base that was being used previously as "Toowoomba airport"

    Enough is Enough

    I tend to agree with the OP, the hit and miss mentality with the crew and the J product especially the pathetic snack which is served even on the MEL/TSV-BNE route is becoming more obvious the more I seem to travel. I also felt a sizable difference of the attitude given to me when I used one of...

    Virgin Australia J Class Meal Loading - Fly Ahead/ Last Minute Booking

    I'm surprised to hear your +1s experience. I used the 'fly ahead' option for a bunch of J travel (4 sectors) last month and always did I receive the full J class meal even with the lounge and check-in ramble about no catering, this included a fly ahead option that meant it was changed with less...

    Just how complicated is VA Plat lounge access internationally

    Internationally on NZ does give you access, I had no issues with that and I flew back through Auckland on Tuesday. (This was confimred when I called NZ and Velocity to confirm before leaving) The DL issue at Sydney is more about that DL only promises access to velocity members when it's a...

    Just how complicated is VA Plat lounge access internationally

    For someone who's just done this style of trip for the second time, may I provide my experience of this: It seems that there is a different rule for everything. VA Domestic in Australia is obviously fine. But it seems that flying overseas is a different story. If for example I'm flying...
