Enjoyed the co-host format, great to have the depth of discussion you don't always get with solo hosts. Looking forward to future episodes!

My old workplace allowed us to expense Y fares but not J fares even if J fares were cheaper (rigid travel policy). So in istances like this I'd still use one of my free upgrades. I'm assuming this is why the flex fare ceiling isn't dictated by the business fare of the day.

Just a heads up, I do find VFF's redemption availability better than QFF but you'll still need to be strategic about how you make redemptions especially if your plan is to make redemptions on long haul sectors with family. If you found this a challenge with QFF, you'll probably still find it a...

They have to retain you and you get a wage, for me it was something like $250 a day which is less than half of what I'd usually be making, very poor financial choice for me to serve in a jury. If they want to have a jury that isn't just retirees and students, they really need to match your...

Don't over think it, I've been summond to dozens of these and have never attended. Your prior commitment will be accepted as a valid excuse. I know plenty of people that get summoned, don't turn up and just pay the $2.2k fine which also removes you from the roll for 10 years, which for many is...

I'm a bit late to the thread but SQ rarely enforces this rule at check in, at boarding I've never seen them enforce it. If you're worried them enforcing it, there's a few options: 1: Bundle your excess item(s) into a jumper and carry it in your hands at check-in and let them weigh your carry on...

I've been on intra Europe flights where a dog has peed on the floor which resulted in the main cabin filling with a foul odor. With VA it sounds like dogs must stay in cages and hopefully owners will have sanitary mats in the cage if a spill occurs... Maybe that'll help but the initiative is...

They have liqueurs behind the bar that aren't even used in their coughtail menu, are they expecting people to shot them or are they just decorations? As a consumer who is paying for an ultra premium product, it's not unreasonable to expect an F lounge bar to serve a classic coughtail, especially...

You'll have access to the EY Business lounge in AUH terminal A. It's a big upgrade (IMO) to what they offered in the former terminal for Gold members. Also note that if you're checking in at AUH, you're able to use the new exclusive Business/First check-in area which includes a private...

Agree with your input @kylemcd. One thing to note is that there are plenty of charging points in the pods at the back of the lounge. Also, I've noticed that the service changes depending on whether you're on an F ticket vs J or Y ticket. In F they're a lot more proactive with service and...

Thanks for the confirmation @jase05. Just visited the F lounge, its pretty incredible that this is available to us even in discount Y especially after experiencing the sad state of lounges in the US last week. Here's some snaps of my visit for those interested.

Hi all, do VA platinum members still have access to the EY F lounge? I have 3 flights over the next couple of weeks through AUH (terminal A), 2 in Y 1 in J. Just trying to brace myself for lounge options. Any recent experiences? Thanks

Not defending Boeing but even considering all these incidents, the Max model is orders of magnitude safer than your Uber to the airport

Also had the magic beep last Friday (also row 3)! Unfortunately they hadn't loaded enough to cater my new J seat but was happy with the free wine and snacks.

Most of these customers will have a check-in allowance with their ticket unlike JQ so it'll add operational overhead with no new revenue stream.

In the SYD lounge, not as busy as I expected. Vegetable biryani is the main on rotation today, I usually like biryani but this one is pretty bland.

Just passed through too. Left the lounge hungry, the place was heaving. Definately not enough staff/food available given the pax volume

Yeah it isn't a direct sector but it's a route that EY serves for both sectors, I'm wondering why VA doesn't surface these types of redemptions. I manipulated the URL and booked this in J through the VA site:

Not necessarily a question about the seat releases being restricted but I've noticed that VA is arbitrarily restricting routings too with EY (and other partners). I was trying to book an EY AMM-CMN which I know EY serves and I know there is J availability on the seperate sectors connecting...

This is the last straw for me, the arrogance for them to hit me with an invalid late payment fee when they won't reimburse my phone bill for a service they can't provide
