    What plane is this at PER

    That A400M is on its way to Avalon. Came in from Singapore. The Germans also went last time to Avalon and took a month roaming around with funky routing.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    I've decided and have just booked PER to NADI and back via BNE in "biz". . Would have preferred via SYD as I think it would have accrued a few more status points but it was more expensive (at least of yesterday). Never been to Fiji so thinking 3 days there at a nice resort will also be rather...

    Actually yes it could have been ADL as I have used both in recent times.

    Article: The Sad History of Virgin Australia’s Long-Haul Network

    Out of interest can you not use the VA domestic lounge at BNE for international? I'm sure I was in that lounge flying to PER and they had QR pax in the lounge and made an announcement for its departure...

    Melbourne SkyBus gone up again

    Not forgetting that if you book in advance you can get and do often, Heathrow express to Paddington in relative comfort for as little as Five pounds! Amazing really.

    Melbourne SkyBus gone up again

    I do chuckle sometimes in the UK where for example flights between Gatwick and Spain are often cheaper for a return journey than 3 days car parking. Never mind the cost of rail travel to and from LGW. I guess no matter where you are...airport charges, getting to and from are far in excess of...

    That though was probably easy enough with what 55 credits to 110 coast to coast and also more when doing connections. Wonder just how easy it is under the "new enhanced" system to achieve the same. Highly unlikely for most I suspect!

    CM cleaning economy? Industrial action?

    .🤭🤪 1742376358 Yeah the 20 mins when I want a drink and a snack bar for my 1,500 dollar flight across Australia. One wonders what the reaction would be if I actually did "fend for myself" in the front galley ..happy to trial it....🤭🤪

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

    I agree. Never been to Bali before and certainly did consider ex PER via SIN but in truth from PER flight can be done in not much over 3 hours and with the Jetstar max price still only around 600 dollars return kind of reckon it's worth a pop. It will.be first time on Jetstar also!! 🤭

    J Oz to UK help with fares

    AY ex BKK tends to be the way to go. Just allow yourself good connection times at BKK and find a cheap tickets to BKK!!

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Yes certainly the SQ earnings are going to be woeful. The positive side I guess if there is any that the lite of standard Y fares on SQ ex Australia and via SIN for some Asian destinations are really very good. I can hardly believe that PER to SGN or HKG or BKK can be under 800 dollars return...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Anyone know what the current status credit point value is flying Brisbane or Sydney to Nadi? Biz and Choice if booked now for flying November. I can never find the international status collection detail.

    will VARA ever expand to the east-coast?

    VARA as currently exists will probably have enough issues trying to retain staff, pilots and CC to keep going once the 320s leave what with all the leases etc on going. I'm assuming most are WA based?

    Indonesia Air Asia returns to DRW

    I think lounge access is actually included at least at PER. One choice of wine (so I have been told..red) and beer. Nah don't think Batik is the answer ..🤭😁..nor really their safety ...

    will VARA ever expand to the east-coast?

    Interesting conversation. However I think the "load" and "filling the plane" is a red herring. It's the yield that counts. Many flights throughout the world can be filled then pulled because the yield makes it not viable. Price and frequency is important but underselling to be viable is a no no.

    My review date is April. I have already received the message that you have retained Platinum and require no further credits or flights. Quite what that means looking forward I dunno!!

    Is that same for being on SQ metal? Even if booked before 02 April but flying in October, I think the new point system is applied?
