Ok this is not good. Looks like my flight on Wednesday 10th sept outbound now just says Perth to Brisbane...and somehow on the app has lost onward to Cairns then Haneda but has the full return on the 17th. Thanks VA for possibly ruining this holiday. I have seen no e mail as yet from VA....

Horses for courses. I still am coming to terms that sometimes Sydney to Perth can take 5 hours 30 minutes which my flight did last week. That's nearly as long as Europe to Doha on a luxurious Qatar widebody while i am cramped in a 737 or worse a Jetstar whatever....

Yes. I'm doing PER-BNE-CNS-HND-CNS-BNE-PER all in "biz" for just under AUD2,500. That's good help maintain platinum and have some fun in Tokyo for a few days.

It says in the blurb that you need to fill in the data 3 days before arrival. What happens if it's a last minute booking to travel to KUL?

Makes perfect sense for a points run and a decent destination. ..., 😃

I wonder then why it holds out until Feb 25 if it's not doing so well? QLD Govt not have a "get out" clause? Hopefully (and I'm glad I booked it now) my CNS-HND -CNS runs ok in Sept.

I got it eventually via status. It took for ever and twice I contacted VA about it. If there is even a small difference in your name.between VA and Europcar they seem unable to get it right without manual change. If there is a difference perhaps tell VA when you next speak. They took note...

I last month, got 20 points each way. In Y class. Paid 500 dollars return. Regional 320 flight there and 737 back. Upgraded for 80 dollars if I recall correctly on the return which was quite pleasant for a 1 hour 55 minute with dinner and flowing bubbles. 😄

I agree. Pop on the additional service credits then maybe. BA provide the additional Avios on upgrades and often you get upgrades cheap without having to bid.

I upgrade on the SYD-PER sector the other night on the737 Max. It was 285 dollars and to be honest I'm not actually sure it was even worth that...,😞🤭

Yes..they should provide for all in Biz. On Transcon. Did not know about the buy opportunity in Y on international. Bet they never have them onboard...,😞🤭. When I do CNS to HND in biz I'll.be sure to keep my pillow.and blanket for future Transcon!! (Unless I just go QF down the back!!).

Interestingly, there was x3 in flight deck on the flight which took 5 hours 25 mins last night. CC who were Perth based seemed to be getting to grips with some of the "stuff" on board but alas from my perspective sadly seems typical of Perth based crew: content in doing the minimum. It's also...

I believe this is a DC2..just recently arrived at HARS outside Sydney and spotted the other day. Renovation will be long but worthy.

According to CC, it's not "downloaded". It's there to be downloaded but has not been! Bit of a farce! I also want dividers but we know that ain't going to happen soon. It looks ok just never really a business experience.

Yes but it does seem a bit ridiculous doesn't it? Seems also to be a small catering issue on loading. Think now rectified.(I'll ask on board re the entertainment).

Just been told no entertainment on board prior to boarding. Well that's a good start....,😞🤭

Eww looks like 8IE is doing my SYD-PER sector. That will be different....yet somehow the same! ,😁

Nice to see the upper level at SYD open and quiet. Rammed downstairs. Not that there is food or drink....,😜

I think VA has offered to all frankly. My other half and I have been offered status credits or miles. The other half is on the lowest tier and we pool. She was offered at the same time as me as Platinum of either credits or points. She took the points and I the status credits.

HARS today...outside Sydney. Very informative and worth while tour.
