    Re: Two reasons I can't take Virgin & Velocity seriously Excuse me?? I'm 6ft 4 and approximately 88kgs, if any airline did that to me they wouldn't be getting my business.

    Two reasons I can't take Virgin & Velocity seriously

    I flew DL in Comfort+ from SFO-LAX on an E175, they gave us complementary soft drink and a little snackpack with crackers, cheese, a dip, carrots and celery. Was actually quite a very nice snack and left us happy! Similar to this photo...

    Priority boarding on QF domestic - what is the story?

    I had a jet connect flight BNE-CHC in J a couple months ago, of course the boarding was hopeless. By the time I got to the front the ground agent was very apologetic regarding the priority boarding, I'm a SG on QF and WP on VA, VA 99% of the time get priority boarding done right, why can't QF?

    VA DOM-INT Transfer at Brisbane

    To be honest, the SQ lounge is small, like really small... A sandwich in the VA lounge in MEL, the food in business on the flight from MEL and on the LAX flight was more than enough to keep the three of us satisfied.
