    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Those who care what country their cheese comes from can always choose to fly Rex. I’m currently in a Rex Lounge and the cheese stocked here comes from Girraween, NSW.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    With respect, based on your posting history on this forum, a lot of things seem to annoy you. At the end of the day, Virgin’s main mission is to run a safe airline operation that makes a profit. I don’t think the place where the cheese provided by Gate Gourmet is manufactured is too high of a...

    Can you bring your own food into airport lounges?

    I have seen a few airport lounges explicitly state that you can't bring in your own food or drinks (often these are lounges that sell food), but is this a universal rule? Or is it considered poor etiquette to BYO food? It's not something I've wanted to do often, but I did do it once at the...

    Any recommendation for a long term (open) credit card

    This is the card that I keep open, too. I've had it for several years and the credit limit on it is only $3,000, so it doesn't interfere too much with applying for other cards. I do use it when travelling overseas due to no forex fees and the ability to earn QF points.

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    Those credit card holders may well be more profitable for the Virgin Australia Group than people who fly a few times per year and get status through family pooling, flybuys etc.

    Virgin changing its fare structure

    Looks like the new & improved fares haven't made it onto all routes. This is the Perth-Kalgoorlie pricing as of now.

    Canberra dinner - Thursday 5 December 2024

    If the restaurant is able to fit an extra person onto the booking (or someone else can't make it) then it wouldn't be a problem. I'll call the restaurant tomorrow and ask.
