    VA marketing don't seem to let facts pester them!

    Sorry but that's a tablet. I used mine gate to gate yesterday. As for the details, I think it's fair to assume that banner ads are designed to be clicked on. If the page you click through to doesn't have the details that's a fair complaint but this seems pretty confected to me.

    Alitalia considering a return to Australia

    Looks like Etihad, Alitalia and potentially VA may be cooperating on a return to Australia. Seems the motivating factor is that Etihad are running out of landing rights in Australia and this neatly gets around that. Not an airline that i hold in much regard but there's a loyal Italian...

    Restricted access to Etihad Lounge in Sydney

    No. Generally only on flights to AUH. At the moment it also includes longhaul flights to LA but that's as a result of the NZ lounge being made over.

    VA to launch Adelaide-Alice Springs and open new Alice Springs Lounge

    That's the downside of VA's imaginative naming of their lounge. I meant an airport without any lounge from any airline. Given that Qantas have largely fobbed Newcastle off to jetstar it's either Virgin or nothing there I expect. If they have a model for a small regional lounge then I would see...

    I'm not up to date on the qf locations but they all have lounges don't they?

    Retro arrives

    The bow tie is a nice touch. I knew James professionally. When we last met we were talking about his upcoming role with cricket world cup and as that draws closer it reminds me how suddenly he passed. Pleased to see this fitting tribute. Congrats to all involved.

    VA to launch Adelaide-Alice Springs and open new Alice Springs Lounge

    I'd like to see Newcastle. Surely that's the largest airport in Australia without a lounge? There will be plenty of room once the terminal expansion is complete.

    VA to launch Adelaide-Alice Springs and open new Alice Springs Lounge

    Wow. This is an interesting clue about the direction VA is heading in for regional lounges.

    VA transfer to SQ 1.35:1 VA

    A reminder to those who are rushing to convert their velocity points to SQ is that if you are thinking about booking redemptions on SQ metal you might want to wait and see what the consequences of the second part of the promise are: By my (rough) back of the envelope maths it will be cheaper...

    Qantas goes retro [To improve Brand Loyalty?]

    I'm a rusted on Virgin flyer but personally i think Qantas is playing to it's strengths here. Most Australians have a deep association with Qantas and it works to remind people of that and play it up occasionally. Whether that is papering over the cracks is another question but the argument that...

    VA transfer to SQ 1.35:1 VA

    We should have run a betting market on it. Having said that 1.3:1 is quite different to 3:1 or 1:3

    Not too bad if true. I feared worse.

    Turkish Airlines Status Match

    I just got a status match for an enquiry that began in March ... 2013!! I contacted them back then. They requested additional statements which i sent in April that year and i never heard back from them. I sent a follow up email late last year but nothing happened. Back at the beginning of...

    VA transfer to SQ 1.35:1 VA

    From November means beginning sometime between November 1 and November 30 and available from then on. I really don't understand why this confusion is even a thing.

    VA transfer to SQ 1.35:1 VA

    BY November is indeed confusing. But they didn't say that.
