re: The view from my "office" Paris ??????????????

re: The view from my "office" And the tide is IN. Congratulations!

I am not sure how you really 'rort' fly ahead. If there is an empty seat on a earlier flight and you only have carry on, what extra cost is it for VA?? They always can say, "no". Then they have the extra cost of feeding and watering you in the lounge............

As I understand it currently, Row 3 can only be seen by Plats in the seat selection charts, hence only Plats can select seats there. (currently with no fee). If it becomes Space+, then anyone can see it on the seat selection chart,whenever, and take it if they wish to pay the fee. They are the...

Seems anything could be 'enhanced' without much notice. Things that concern me are the apparent gap developing between VA and Velocity, the non availability of J long-haul redemptions on VA metal, EY redemption increased charges and the possibility of EY and SQ getting impatient with VA's...

Don't think the OP is referring to awards tickets.

The problem seems to be getting a stopover. The code shares only seem to work if you have direct connecting flights Australia-SIN-HKG. VA will not sell you a code share SIN-HKG ticket on its own. Very happy to be proved wrong.

We did a fair bit of Delta in November last year. Two of the lounges (including one in Atlanta) denied us access after showing my Velocity Plat card. Do not cry, stand your ground. You do have access. I carry a Velocity plat bag tag attached to my carry on. It does say Virgin Australia. This...

Not sure what you are apologising for, looks pretty clean to me...

I really like this wine at a great price point. Clean, crisp riesling, good depth,great nose, I have ordered another doz. Not sure how it will age, but at this price how can you go wrong.

10 square chains is equal to one acre. Really showing my age here.

Indeed it does redbigot, printed LR Vinomofo Heathcot Shiraz 2015, And, a stuck on label on the side, Limited Release Vinomofo Heathecote Shiraz 2015 Produced by Victorian Alps Winery. Also impressive is the anti return feature included. Not only is there no cardboard dividers of any kind...

Gapsted Limited Release Shiraz Heathcote 2015 confirmed. It arrived this afternoon in a cheap looking box, that does not appear to have any cardboard dividers between the bottles in the box. I wish it was the Chalmers beefarmer.......

Thanks Kjav, that's a Boom from me...

That was the doz I wanted.......nice mix I thought.

re: The view from my "office" Torwards the end of the Civil war, I stayed in the big hotel next to the Hilton, closer to the 'beach', as an official with a Junior Australian sporting team. (Asian Champs were being held there). We placed the boys in their rooms, and a few of them came and got...

We broached one last night. 'Pleasantly inoffensive' was the verdict. Pale, dryish, good bead, it was OK. Is anyone else having problems acessing the VM web site? Using Safari/OSX10.10.5 anything I try just comes up with the 'something is borked' page. Same with Firefox. Iphone seems to work.

Salvation Case No22 arrived today containing La Granja360 Cava NV Spain ($7US at Trader Joes) Capel Vale Cellar Exclusive Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2013, W.A. (RR $20) Ridge View Impressions Chardonnay 2011 Hunter Valley (CD $25) Norfolk Rise Shiraz, 2014, Mt...

Currently sitting in the (very nice) AUH J lounge. Absolutely no access to the F lounge for VA plats. Staff here cannot understand it, and pleaded us to complain to VA/EY. Apparently Jet Airways are the same situation. As an aside, the opened this week, Casa Alitalia lounge at Malpensa...
