They probably cost just a few $'s a set ex China in bulk purchase. Cheap to make. Given Australia's high wage rates, to collect/consolidate/transport/wash/launder/re-pack/reconsolidate/re-transport will run at least $25 a pair in the real world - just to hand used PJ's, to premium pax - or...

Biz flights out of Jakarta or Manila etc, can be amazingly cheap compared to here. Etihad is $A2700 return on your August dates. Or move Virgin points to SQ and use those miles for a SIN-Europe Biz, or if you are flexible you'll get somewhere OZ-SIN-EUROPE. You have not bothered to tell us...

Of course, it was for 4 legs. $10 + $10 + $25 + $25 x 2 = $US140 plus 3% bank credit card gouge here, and the usual fake exchange rate on top of that. Had recalled it was $29.99 not $24.99. Either $U25 or $US30 too much. I do not deal in pennies. On SQ, one simply inputs your seat number...

You cannot sleep on those. Those are 2 seater chaise lounges. No pillow, no blankets. All commentary globally I've seen on this new Etihad F lounge re sleeping, is also negative. https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/etihad-first-class-lounge-abu-dhabi/ QR had Biz fares in last weeks at...

Good food and drink is an obvious expectation. I was hoping to catch some sleep there in a slumber room. All other top tier long haul carriers offer that in F Lounges. Nope. Not Etihad. Needed to pay $250 for the new in airport AUH hotel a few hours back. And they nickel and dimed us...

Nope. But right now SYD-AKL gets zero points or lounge. Pricing will be interesting.

'' eligible Virgin Australia customers will have access to Velocity Frequent Flyer program benefits and international lounge access.”

Was in First Lounge at AUH today. 'Virgin Platinum' on BP was all they needed for access. Was near empty the few times we have been in it recently - Biz lounge ,tho huge in area was a zoo.

OK .. read a recent review on the new F Lounge which oddly seems severely lacking in any snoozing options! AND is very noisy with exterior PA announcements being boomed it seems. What sleeping options does Bus Lounge offer? Top end food and booze is assumed of course, but all we want to do is...

Appears to be a new 2024 opened Hotel airside - https://www.abudhabiairporthotel.com/auhotel-abu-dhabi-airport-transit-hotel/#plinks No desk or work area it seems - just bed and shower at $A215 for 12 hours. Still prefer to stay camped in F Lounge depending on cost and whether they can...

Thanks ... like all of us, I hate all the departure and hassle of re-entry to terminals and check in, and security and immigration etc if it can be possibly be avoided. :D Depends on what cost they levy in F Lounge, and whether it is time based, and more important whether it can be pre-booked...

We are flying paid Biz LHR-AUH-SYD in 2 weeks. I am Virgin Platinum so have access to F lounge and presumably my wife also in paid Biz. Have been there before, but only for short transits as on way over for 3 hours so no need for a nap. This time we arrive AUH at 7.25pm, but depart on a...

Mine posted fine - 170 bonus sc for SYD-ADL return via MEL. . Not as brilliant an offer as past promos, but they all help. :D

I've joined up Fluffy and Fido into Velocity, and have got their family pooling all in place to me as they are under 10 years old, so it works well. I just hope the pet dining choices in the Lounges will be extensive ..... not just Puppycinos. Those little sachets of Dine do not smell too...

Mine too and my review date was March 13, and I've been requalifed for ages. HOPEFULLY a sane common expiry date for Status is being quietly worked on, and slowly rolled out like all American airline and hotel plans have had for many decades. What you fly/stay in Calendar 2023 is all that...

895 SC and more than 8 segment means you easily requalifed with no special offer.

Deflation strikes again.

Oddly, Janey made no mention of this sort of reality in her smirky PR spin on the TV news here - 'Last week, a chihuahua traveling on a United flight relieved herself while on a passenger’s lap, soiling the seat and the armrests and causing a stink. According to passenger interviews, the dog’s...

Of course they are ONLY about profit. We all realise that. They are rapacious Vikings with American accents. They have more than their initial outlay back in the bank as we know. In a fire sale even now they'll be a ton ahead of a 30% return. But with key Union fights ahead, pay demands...

Well, I expect my dogs and cats are all counted as my Platinum guest allowance into the Lounges. Clearly no-one has given any thought to such basic realities. There is no way anything bigger than a hamster will fit in a cage under any Virgin seat. And shoving the cage thru the security...
