    Also another Sydneysider who got a smattering of Brisbane locations. Where are the Melbourne restaurants? I could easily rack up $100 at Gimlet on my own

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    I also had this back in June with a dry white by Hardy's and thought it was decent (for Economy)

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    SYD-MEL-ADE will be $349/flight (or $700 one way) if you're lucky but direct is $399. Going via BNE will cost even more and I heard some aren't even offering Business BNE-ADL (nor will they be a one-day thing unless you want to sit in an airplane all day)

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Anything that's $349/flight for Business and use a discount code. You could hang out in Melbourne or Brisbane for the day

    Velocity Double Status Credits July/August 2023

    Welp looks like I need another Business flight to maintain Gold then. Thanks @AIRwin and @aaa99 :) Wouldn't this have cost $80 though? The flight was only about $110 or something on the lower end of the scale

    Velocity Double Status Credits July/August 2023

    Dumb question, more out of curiosity as I'm not too fussed if it doesn't happen. I booked a Choice flight on July 6. A change of plans (and DSC) meant I changed my flight today to a Business flight departing two weeks from the original flight (but within the travel period) and paid the fare...

    I haven't heard of Fresh Beauty Co (assuming they are not the same as the Fresh brand that's sold in Sephora), but Harrolds and Ksubi (aka Tsubi aka the ones who sent rats down their runway one year) have been around for decades. Guess you don't indulge in fashion much.

    Electronic OLCI VAd didnt work... 5 mins to check in... saga

    The problem is that the flight attendants aren't as familiar with boarding passes on mobile wallets compared to the Virgin app, so it always takes longer to point out the flight and seat numbers to them

    New Kimpton Secret Password

    Following up on Fifa's experience at the Kimpton Margot: I tried saying 'I love how the hotel pool has no shade' but apparently that was too subtle as the receptionist said the hotel pool was closed so had to point out I was trying to use the Kimpton Secret Password ... Still two large cups...

    VA966 BNE-SYD The frequently mentioned Thai Chicken Curry or Truffle Mac and Cheese (which I didn't mind as I really dig the curry). 1A was a kid taking their very first flight it seems with their mother. Orders taken: 1F, me in 2F, 1C, 2A, 2C (1D and 2D were empty) Orders served: 1C, 1F, 2A...

    Same options for today's VA925 SYD-BNE. They displayed the options on an iPad, with orders taken being 1C, 1D and 1F (who were travelling with a baby and appeared to have put their other kid in 3F; poor thing thought she was sitting in 2D until she got told by 1D to move), 2F (2D was empty)...

    Yes; I was offered breakfast when I did a Rewards Night points stay at IC Sydney in April (however I did not take them up on it as I had an early flight) Have you tried checking in on a Saturday? I heard it won't work if you attempt it for a Friday
