Thanks, Mondo, that has been the situation on the VA website since the AUH first class lounge was closed for a refit. Now the lounge has been reopened, I was hoping VA Plats would resume having access as they did before. I was also hoping for a response from a VA rep, (either way, it would be...

As per the title, there are reports that Platinums do not currently have access to the reopened First Class lounge (as they did in the past). We fly through AUH next week, could someone confirm what the situation is? Thanks.

Thanks David for the 'heads up'. We fly through AUH next week and would have hated to do 'the walk of shame' back to the J lounge after being denied entry. Perhaps the VA rep would like to advise what is going on?

As I understand it, 90% Sangiovese. It's not their top wine they do a 100% merlot, a 100% Cab Sav, and also an upmarket 100% Sangiovese. But it was very smooth, lots of glycerine in the glass. I am going to try and find a bottle of another lowly rated IGT the Carnasciale Caberlot to see what...

TheRealTMA can't have all the good Tuscan wines to himself- The Boss cooked lunch for us yesterday here in the Valdarno. He produced this from the cellar 1999 Torrione Petrolo in magnum.The Torrione vinyard is 15 minutes away from here, and is 'downslope' from the famous 'Caberlot' vineyards...

re: The view from my "office" This is a view of my desk for the next five weeks. And this is the view in the afternoon light. The Valdarno, Tuscany.

AUH still boarded up on the 29th. No sign of action either.

re: The view from my "office" Yesterday's office Ok, I know you are not supposed to have your office 'behind the wing', but in my defence, here is a photo of our office immediately prior, And for those who like cryptic clues, a photo of the office last night, BLQ

Not sure about the vertical 6 pack, but the 2009 offer was PDG.

Ditto. I am totally cough at cryptic crosswords. My primary school motto was 'Knowledge is strength'. We share knowledge, VM sell more vino. It's a win, win, for producer and consumer. If the producer does not want to submit to the VM process, so be it, but they are deliberately cutting out...

Thank you all for your help. I booked a few days ago, 2 tickets, VA codeshare SYD-BKK via SIN on SQ in whY flexi for a positioning flight at the end of this month. Using you advice in this thread i.e. use the SQ mobile app, I now have seat reservations that I can live with, even if more open...

Bump. Anyone with recent experience ?

Tahbilk arrived yesterday. broached a bottle last night. Nice wine, really enjoyed it. Thank you for the 'heads up'.

Confirmed, arrived today.

re: The view from my "office" First thing we checked was it's FF status. Definitely a VA flyer, not a UA flyer. And location is three minutes flying time to SYD (QF129 is actually overhead at the moment)

re: The view from my "office" Look what turned up this morning outside the front room of our Christmas Office. I think we will need to call a logistical team meeting. Bullet points will be... How do we finish the aquisition in a timley manner ? What transport do we use? Have we got...

Confirmed. Great buying.

re: The view from my "office" This office was a bit too noisy and crowded to get much work done...

How seriously cool is that.Hope EY kept the libations up in Y.
