Great info - many thanks. :D Be very handy if we arrive and depart T3 .. makes it look pretty doable! Just checked and used Velocity miles to fund the award tickets … should not make any real difference I guess? Glen

Ha! All on the one PNR thankfully, but getting confirmed Biz seats on next flight SIN-SYD I'd not be holding my breath waiting for, if they misconnect. :D It was of course a 'legal' connection when I booked it, but whether they offer you economy on next flight with a relevant points rebate or...

Next month we catch the Singapore Airlines flight from Chennai/Madras - SQ 529 MAA-SIN at 11.25pm, arriving allegedly 05.55, with a pretty tight 70 minute connection to Sydney SIN-SYD SQ 241 at 07.05, so hope it takes off on time in Chennai – many days it does not! A few days last week we'd have...

My last stay in Manhattan at the Hilton Times Square had about 6 or 7 taxes tacked onto my bill. State tax, bed tax, tourist fee etc, (but no resort fee) and I most definitely recall a 'JAVITS CENTER' tax per night - an Expo hall miles away. Why a tourist staying in Times Square gets slugged...

Virgin Australia Chief Executive Jayne Hrdlicka says their airline is bringing “great value” for any Australians “hungry to travel”. The new partnership between Virgin and Qatar Airways is taking flight and enticing customers with competitive fares to rival Qantas. “Those fares are going to be...

Regardless, it is a VERY minimal cost option to add in the 'rope' divider. Total no brainer. Such things do not need to be special Boeing parts I feel sure.

Flew SYD-ADL paid Biz this week both on these non-divider 737s. Streams of pax to the loos. How any company can spend $110 MILLION on any refit, and not spend $50 per plane on a magnetic rope divider on the back of the row 2 seats, defies belief. Any handyman could it in 15 minutes. Would...

And nice to see that Tatachilla is AUSTRALIAN made, as are the others. :cool: https://www.thebottle-o.com.au/sm/pickup/rsid/3613/product/tatachilla-white-admiral-sauvignon-blanc-750ml-bottle-id-244840

You may know about being a FA, but you clearly know little about marketing and retail packaging. :D They are made NOW for Woolworths, Coles and IGA and doubtless others .. and Virgin too, if they want. BEGA or whomever makes them LOCALLY, would be pleased to have THEIR name on it on all...

Of course the Cheese and crackers packaging would have VIRGIN printed on it - they are locally made, and for a decent order packaging is done to order. Or show packaging as BEGA or whomever the actual maker is. My point is such things ARE made locally and are less cost than ZERO Aussie content...

The latter part clearly is the case. 'They just don't care'. Virgin are owned by Americans and run by Jayney an American and we know profit is all they are interested in, but oddly here they could score patriotic support, AND save money if some minion looked into this area. Virgin run a...

And many things about Virgin annoy you and others, as all can see. That is life. No airline is perfect. Some things are simple to fix. I repeat - They'd be VERY wise to have a mission statement -- 'Virgin Australia is proud to offer ONLY Australia made wine, beers and cheese and meals and...

WHY Virgin for YEARS has exclusively offered NEW ZEALAND made cheese as shown above when Australia has a struggling cheese making industry, always annoys me. Virgin must buy 100,000s of Mainland cheese packages a year, and 100,000s of bottles of New Zealand Wine that I've been served on board...

Like everything Velocity is doing lately - sadly. They should be out there kicking goals, not points. Turned the FF scheme on its head - for the worse, and in a year when Qantas has had its worse PR year ever.

It is still a long way until all these final hurdled are jumped and the OTHER government regulators sign off on it. It is early DECEMBER now.

I am surprised 'they' did not request zero real food and booze, but 'demanded' just a 30c bowl of instant noodles with hot water added, and a plastic spoon. Talk about the race to the bottom. Air Asia here we come. :rolleyes: This is the year for Virgin to ADD features, not remove them...

More than likely of course, but nothing to do with Government bodies is 'approved' until it is approved. :D

My email today actually said - Virgin Australia and Qatar Airways have recently applied for approval for an integrated airline alliance. If approved, the proposed alliance will see us deepen our strategic partnership

In the exact same boat -- for Velocity STILL to be banging on about them still 'fine-tuning' this poorly thought through promo is typical - a month after announcing it. Seems like they are making it up as they go along. I am over 12,000 it seems, but not 9000 on Virgin yet, reading their...

Etihad's Status match offer today for Virgin Elites was pretty ironic! Flew them many times, and a bit of a shame to see them out the door. Charging for Wifi in paid Biz rankled me always -- cost me big bucks in June from London as I was on laptop the entire trip basically. Very short sighted...
