    An interesting email from Velocity

    Does anyone actually get to use them? Not that great for use ex PER that's for sure. I get them.and don't use them! Cheaper buying upgrades from choice!

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    If Qatar airlines are thinking of taking around 20 percent of a privately run company (VA) that might actually make them more successful and the Australian Govt considers that "tricky" during an official visit from the Qatar PM around any election time then they have a rather dim and isolated...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Not wanting to open up previous issues really but I believe the Federal Court threw out the claims as QR were not actually directly involved in any search. In other words..nothing to do with the airline with that rather dire and unfortunate event. However all is well with Aussie as they...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Quite possibly...not sure however that the Aussie govt or decision makers allegedly on behalf of the country is that versed on "big picture " stuff..as "Port of Darwin" come immediately to my off topic mind!

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    No. It's wanting someone or an entity to take a serious interest in VA and perhaps help them to be the best they can. Why does it matter to you specifically who VA enter into relations with? Are all QF lovers worried that the monopolistic shelve that QF operate in has loose screws?

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    See, I have a fundamental problem with that. Emirates, the bed buddy of QF has no less than 119 flights a week between their home base and the UK. Yes 119!! Don't see BA scream and shout that loudly. They should perhaps! EK have a good handful into Australia. How do they compare with QR in...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    You can certainly talk like a salesperson....I want a big bridge please. For me I like VA generally. I would also like to see them get an another opportunity to expand. V1 was not with Qatar. We don't know what influence they can bring. However I like the airline. I don't like Qantas. They are...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Ofcourse we don't really know why QR want even20 percent. However they do! We don't know the future plans of IAG. Maybe the different conditions for market and strategy (at the moment) is actually something that motivates QR to start and build their interest in VA. While supporters of this...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Well we like to make sure that QF realise we still exist. it's not all about EK. yo You did make me laugh about liking QF. Harsh! Awful just awful ...🤭

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Fly MH biz classes with QF FF and you get credits for economy flex despite being in biz cabin, at least once in my experience. Never again!! Credit it (all classes of biz) with BA and you get full business class Tier Points with BA. It's a fact. Done it many times from lowest biz to flex biz. I...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    My OneWorld earning also goes to BA but with regard to Tier Points it's pretty good as you know exactly what you collect with all One World operators and the tier points (for status) are the same regardless of who the one world carrier is ..it's just the number.of Avios points that is reduced...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Not sure why QF are in OneWorld myself. They prefer to play with Emirates so I'm quite happy they go to whatever Emirates FF programme is called..i forget Skywhatever. I actually see QF not really offering much in One world (yea sometimes you can get cheap BA Avios usage on QF domestic but no...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Yep...different operation altogether when comparing QF and AY. Each can have issues but generally I use AY when in Europe and also from SIN and BKK. Although I still.think generally VA staff are more attentive (in biz) than QF!

    New Vietnam Airlines paid status match offer

    The article makes reference to ITA and it ceasing it's promotion. ITA as of 01 Sept will joining Star Alliance thus are leaving SkyTeam. I'm not sure what happens to those already holding elite status. Assume they will transfer to Star Alliance. If so, this offer might be worthy to maintain...

    VA - ANA Codeshare Seat Selection

I'm also fearing that VA will not provide the international boarding cards (check in) at PER and we.

    Travelling PER-SYD-HND . Domestic sector with VA and international sector SYD-HND with NH but with a codeshare VA flight number. What happens at SYD? I see to receiving conflicting information. Do I need to check in at SYD as well or will Perth allocate boarding cards and also check bags all...
