Booked MEL-LHR J in March 2025 with my wife and return VIE-MEL in May. Only one sector on an A380, which is a pity. J class in EY is up with the best in my opinion (SQ is the other contender). I will have WP by then so can get into AUH F Lounge. The flights will attract enough SCs to maintain...

That was me until fairly recently! My doctor believes I had a viral infection (usually nasty but short) which bacteria took advantage of. And the bacterial infection hung on. The antibiotics eventually took care of it, but it did take weeks. Fortunately I had no flights over that period.

Unless the PAX disguised the cough (hard to do if ill because coughing is usually involuntary) she should have been stopped from boarding. It’s happened to me. Are staff taking a less strict approach post-COVID?

Thanks. I don’t mind the walk from the bus stop to Rydges. I plan to do a lot of walking that day

Well this is a part of the AFF I will now avoid. Climate “skeptics”, Tucker Carlson and Ian Plimar fans, people who know better than the CSIRO, who don’t now that renewables can, in fact, provide base load power, etc, etc. Go for it guys

I have flown roughly 500 sectors on VA. But have only once made a wrong booking. Last Sunday I thought I had booked a 9amish flight back from OOL-MEL and arrived at the Lounge calm and relaxed. Only to be told there was no such flight. When I triumphantly showed the booking on my iPad, the “pm”...

A mate of mine is an Irish plasterer. I’ll try this on him. He will either laugh or give me a smack.

A slightly different question as I’m not going from domestic io international to fly, but to stay at Rydges overnight. When I used to do this years ago, the bus was free and no boarding pass asked for. It sounds from earlier replies that I might have to pay for the bus?

Triple credits all dropped today. Good show Velocity

Thanks for the help. The only reason I have flown to OOL is for the status credits…

Ah, I get it now. Booking reference hasn‘t changed, so should be okay. Hopefully

Sorry, I don’t even know what the booking reference is. It doesn’t seem to be on my boarding pass

The reason I ask this question here is that lounge staff have no idea and the Velocity call centre is closed

I’ve just found that I booked the wrong return flight from OOL, so changed to an earlier J flight. Do I lose triple credits?

I’m working on my second longest streak at the moment. My longest was 123 before stupidly missing a day. Now up to 62. My two opening words, Ounce and Laird are serving me well. I know statistically that there are better openers, but these suit me.

Yes, got a micro piece of chocolate. I’m still on the plane, so maybe something else will arrive.

After mainly forgettable meals in J domestic, I had a good one for lunch. Korean chicken with rice. Mildly spicy and tasty. A bit of dessert would have been good rather than the “cardboard cheese” as my kids used to describe it.

Tomorrow MEL-OOL in J. Pleasant, but not enough to spoil me…

Last time in Bali a couple of years ago I gave the lounge a miss. The time before all I found was dodgy food, warm beer and smokers everywhere. Hopefully it was a little better for you.

Thanks. We have seven children, all doing very well and still very close. Five are coming to Bali, the others have work demands that prevent it. There is no doubt that I will be putting a lot of rupiah on a lot of tabs, but none of them expect to be shouted, thankfully. Live is pretty good.
