I've found it often just leads to an error page, it's not the most reliable...

I've only stayed here once, but a similar experience to others here, very positive and excellent status recognition. It's just so very handy if you're arriving late or departing early. Just a few minutes walk from the terminal through an air-conditioned walkway. I hope they keep the 24-hour...

I was in Hanoi over the break and there was a bit of this as well. However, pretty much all the tourist sites and areas had plenty of free toilets available.

When you do the search you'll know it's an IAP fare because it will have a dark blue banner across the top in the results. Here's an example.

To describe this new charter as the "bare minimum" is almost overstating what's in it. There's nothing new here, just a restatement of obligations that the airlines already have that they've been shirking. We need proper reform and a proper customer compensation scheme like the USA, Canada, EU...

The paradox is that no matter what Qantas does, no matter how badly it treats its customer, they always seem to keep coming back for more. I'd expect whatever changes they make will be even more dramatic than the changes Virgin has made, because they know they can get away with it.

Think you could be waiting a while, how long have we been waiting for Qantas to get it together and let us use a proper password? On the plus side, the Virgin and Velocity apps have never shown me someone else's boarding pass...

7:30 has done a follow up. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-27/qantas-refutes-safety-bureau-report-listing-series-of-failures/104654270

Virgin Australia has started its sale. https://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en/specials/black-friday-sale/

Booked a return trip to Melbourne this morning for the end of January. Called up straight away and used my complimentary upgrades with no issues at all.

I've found Eskimo really great, but the one strange gap they have is that, despite being a Singapore based company, they don't work in Singapore.

Sounds like worth keeping in the back pocket then, for things like a transit or if you have trouble with your paid for eSIM.

I had a bit of a look. You watch an ad and it gives you access for predefined period of time (varies by country), usually an hour. Once it runs out you need to watch another ad to extend it. I might have a play around. I'm wondering if, once your time runs out, you'd still be able to watch the...

I've stayed at the Adnate as a Platinum a couple of times. The upgrades I've gotten has just been a room on a higher floor, which is nice enough. The hotel itself is pretty nice though and in a good spot. Has a decent breakfast buffet too, though not as big as some I've been to.

They've also clearly been drawing back from the Australian market, they only fly to Sydney and Melbourne now, so they probably have a lot less need for an Australian partner.

Two new docs added to the ACCC portal today that might be of some interest: https://www.accc.gov.au/public-registers/authorisations-and-notifications-registers/authorisations-register/virgin-australia-and-qatar-airways Virgin Australia and Qatar Airways - Response to interested party...

I used them in Singapore on my Galaxy S24, had no trouble setting up using the WiFi in Changi airport and it worked a treat. They have a referral program that gets you a bonus $3 on sign up as well, they also had a promo for a while that got you 1GB on signup, so it might be worth having a scout...

Came across a new benefit today, via Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com.au/prime/offer/doordash/prime-deal I know AmEx has had DoorDash statement credit offers in the past as well.

I think this is a good point that keeps getting overlooked. A lot of the comparisons people have been doing, on how much it'll take to earn status, assume that they'll be able to take maximum advantage of a DSC offer on Qantas, but will have to pay full fare on Virgin. I'm certain the various...

I agree, I've found the AmEx lounge in Sydney to very pleasant, even if it doesn't have views. I've been the Qantas Business lounge twice now (I don't often fly Qantas) and there's no doubt I'd choose the AmEx lounge in the future. The only downside being that it is far away from the Qantas...
