    VA Global Wallet

    If the wallet is not activated, no fee. BP points have nothing to do with Global Wallet.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    I suspect a 2012 RWT would be just fine, following a sufficent quantity of Krug. Or as Cruser Elite so eloquently states, "Everything tastes better when served with Krug by a Singapore girl!"

    VA Gold - access to Alitalia lounge....or not?

    Yes, they tried to pull that one on us twice earlier this year. We stood our ground, had the relevent printouts, and if that failed, politely asked for them to contact their supervisor. We got in, but as to if it was worth the effort, that is very debatable.

    VA Gold - access to Alitalia lounge....or not?

    No, one extra bag only for the Status holder. And some advice. Check in early. Be prepaired for an argument. Hope your Alitalia experience goes well!

    Virgin Australia loses $69M Q3 2017

    I am very much in the VA sphere status wise, but I transfer any VA points ASAP to SQ. Am I too paranoid? Or maybe too old remembering Ansett and Compass I & II

    Alitalia files for bankruptcy

    I had the 'joy' of flying AZ last month, both domestic and international sectors. My observation of what EY brought to the table other than money- A new CEO and team. A really nice lounge at MXP airport (Think nearly as good as EY First class lounges), with direct gate access. Upgraded...

    The view from my "office"

    I wish. Not open till next week. But for a treat, I will show you the actual view from our Hotel room in Napoli, the very nice Hotel UNA. The view was something else, but the soundscape, really something else...... However, with some luck, I might have two weeks work on Ischia in...

    The view from my "office"

    I know, I was seriously tempted by the Barolo Dinner there tonight- but we are off on a road trip early in the morning- it will have to be next time... The Portrait was good for an early dinner before seeing Damian Lewis and Sophie Okonedo in The Goat, or who is Sylvia?​ -a great night out.

    VA Global Wallet

    No Dramas with the Velocity card- USA, Europe and Asia. Multiple trips. What I do like is the almost instant email confirming the transaction. So, while not so much a fan of just were Velocity seems to be heading, very happy with the Global Wallet, and have just loaded it with funds for a trip...
