    Virgin priority boarding fail

    IME they've gone back to boarding priority first, without the strange/silly simultaneous general boarding too. Good to see it's returned to how it's used to be, and quite effective for the most part.

    Short turnarounds: Have you flown back from your destination with the same crew?

    Yes, I wish I had better reasons but it’s always been status runs. I try to think of a witty reply in case they comment on it, something like “Darn need to go back, forgot my toothbrush” or “Too warm here” (runs are often to Qld)

    Why don't hotels make it easier to order room service?

    aka (or even in addition to!) a “tray charge”

    Why don't hotels make it easier to order room service?

    I wonder if room service is a loss leader for hotels (despite the fact they charge something like $29 for a sandwich) and just have a bare minimum service to cater for the odd occasion when someone arriving on the red eye needs a feed - maybe they can’t be bothered making it easy and attractive.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    I think you’re better off asking the CSM on board to swap.

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Don’t recall this happening in many dozens of flights in the golden triangle, when I’m usually in row 4 (and often just about the only person with a vacant seat next to me). I choose the seat as soon as it’s ticketed too.

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    Not looking good at all… looked at a few Qld airports and indeed most or all their services are cancelled :(

    That red looks like it's threatening to slosh out mid-turbulence...

    Seat poacher

    Nice one. If instead you’d gotten the crew offside and gone OTT, they might have given the upgrade to someone else!

    MEL - HNL via SYD (using the QF curbside First Class Check-In Lounge)

    I believe the First check in can only check people in for international QF flights - you'll have to go to the domestic terminal to check in as your first flight is domestic.

    Dual citizenship and travelling on non AU passport

    There will be some issues if you’re an Australian citizen but try to enter/exit Australia on a foreign passport. Agree with the comments about travelling on your Aus passport.

    Qantas frequent flyer with virgin ?

    My corporate agent does mixed airline bookings for me sometimes, and in these I see both the QF and VA flights in the QF app. I only get QF lounges and SCs with the QF flights, and VA lounges and SCs with VA.

    Jayne Hrdlicka to resign as CEO

    Bit sad (or maybe not) to get 'A message from Jayne Hrdlicka' email about features and promotions a couple of days ago. (I know these emails have some lag time for drafting and clearance.) Slightly interesting the email says they're "laser-focused on the experience" of booking and flying, bit...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Rang to get one Y and one J seat released to/from HKG. Both declined by the bot but got successful reviews and releases within a couple of days. Happy with the result and, unlike last time, for the exact dates I wanted.

    Will Qantas Offer Double Status Credits before Mooted FF Program Changes in 2024?

    ‘72-hour Surprise Sale’ ending Saturday. DSC promo next week? 😁 /speculation

    When do status credits go into your account?

    Welcome to posting. SCs reach your account generally just before you land (I've seen them appear when I turn off flight mode when taxiing at arrival) or within a few hours thereafter - but never before your flight. As mentioned the DSCs take longer, sometimes more than a week after your flight...
