    Indonesian Visa Discussion (Including Bali)

    Not sure how many people are paying the 'Bali Tourist Tax'. We didn't pay it on our trip in July. Appears to be essentially fully voluntary. There is a booth/counter just when you exit before where all the drivers wait, but everyone just walks straight past.

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    The lounge is not worth $65. You would get better quality food and drink spending that much in the terminal.

    Six million people a year would use train to Melbourne Airport

    What a ridiculous statement. More likely for that to happen in Richmond or other inner city areas!

    Six million people a year would use train to Melbourne Airport

    Widening the freeway rarely if ever actually makes the journey quicker...it's a false economy, it still bottle necks at the City. Speed limit used to be 100km/hr, now always 80km/hr.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    They might have some decent bookings over the busy Christmas/Jan period, so would have been more costly to try and reaccommodate everyone. Probably a balance of costs to do that, vs costs to keep running the route until then.

    Malaysia (re-applies) for BNE with the ̶7̶3̶7̶-̶8̶ ̶M̶A̶X̶ ̶ [now 5x weekly A330]

    Whilst the seats might be the same, I find the biggest issue with narrow body flights is the 160 economy passengers having one aisle to get to the lavs at the back of the aircraft. I’d hate to be sitting in the last 3-4 rows of economy on any flight longer than 2 hours in a narrow body. There is...

    Indonesian Visa Discussion (Including Bali)

    Just completed E visa for our family of 4 for trip in 10 days time. The system was much smoother and less clunky than the last time I did it in September last year. Didn't get stuck on uploads of docs, or populating hotel address field. Only point had to be careful on was the last screen where...

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Yep. Which means demand must be there for both, and will be impacting yields for both.

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Things have to be softer on demand, I fly Virgin every week SYD-MEL return the below $96 fares is not normal on MEL-SYD outside happy hour and targeted sales. Not every day. And the cheap fares usually on only certain flights, where appears to be available across a lot of different flight times...

    Why don't more Australians visit Guam or Saipan for holidays?

    My wife and I did this! Was via BKK and TYO in J. Also wrangled a free stopover that was outside the rules. Was awesome!

    Which is the best airline to fly from Australia to Bali?

    If you have to connect, fly through the Gold Coast then will have lounge access. But yes agree they need to get it back!

    SkyBus gone up again [Up to $23.90 one way]

    SkyBus gone up again [Up to $23.90 one way]

    I catch it twice a week. Don’t think it has ever been 20 mins. More around 30mins. Worse if an accident or full peak hour. The bus terminal (and southern cross itself) is an abomination. To think that is many international visitors arrival point in to Melbourne, dark, dank and smelling of diesel.

    Kayo sent me a free Hubbl (Hubbl | TV and streaming made easy) as even though my TV is 4K and is listed as supported it would always pop up and say 4K not supported when I started watching. Miami is first weekend I have had it and 4K picture is a massive step up. But there is some bug that Hubbl...

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    GDS doesn't concern me and most of the general public. I get a small airline like Bonza not wanting to sign up to the cost of that. Problem is it excludes a lot of people from knowing you even exist as an option on a route. As I remember JetGo having the same issues, had great direct flights...

    Yes we did the same. Booked through SQ business class flights with Velocity Points. Called up Velocity and added the infant for minimal cost.
