    Virgin Australia Financially Secure? [Now in Voluntary Administration]

    Interesting. Good ,well thought out ideas. Just as a point of reference, and it is absolutely correct if you do not wish to indicate, but approx, how many VA points do you hold at the moment? And if a serious amount, are you considering shifting them to KF?

    QANTAS takes A380s out of circulation [and reduces flights]

    This has appeared for us as well on our 'Manage Bookings' page, but no mention of what is proposed for the ORD-LAX sector. Did you get a solution from QF or are we supposed to pay for our own ticket for this 'solution'?

    Virgin Australia Financially Secure? [Now in Voluntary Administration]

    To insure a risk does cost money. Maybe not cost effective in a perfect world, but we have transferred all our Velocity points, into,KrisFlyer. Better not having a 'Chance it with Ansett' moment.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    My opinion on Pinot N is that with AUS pinots, it is a bit like the search for the Holy Grail. You never quite find 'the one'.

    Global Qantas Double Status Credits Offer (Book 20-26 Feb 2020; Fly: 28 Feb 2020-14 Feb 2021)

    You realise just how far reaching in importance a QF DSC offer is when you overhear the couple at breakfast at the table alongside in a BKK hotel discuss at length what trips they need to book this week to retain their QF status.......

    I agree about the Ghost Rock- it starts just a tad sweet, but it is beautifully balanced and very good. The Delatite in the Riesling Mix is also, IMO, another very good wine, drier on the inital palate, but great long finish. I have just ordered the Neb on your recommendation.

    AY RTW Sale

    +1 for madrooster being 'The man' for these AY RTW flights. Chicago is a seasonal flight, usually from around 1 April to 1 December, so no good for mid -Feb. It appears that AY have removed the free internal AA USA flights?. Through madrooster I just booked for my boss ADL-SYD-SIN (all...

    VA does "The Business" to its Sample LAX J Menu - Publishes PE menu Instead [Fixed]

    You must be mistaken- this must be the new sample menu for Y class. If not Y , then things must really be dire, or the village idiot is making the decisions... Seems to be a bit 'EY' like in trying to win a race to be the least attractive flying option after being one of the best..
