Yeah, I had that the other day, it was really nice.

But, see, that's the thing. You still chose to fly VA. So the Bain strategy is working.

Train?

Yeah, very important particularly with yoghurt in the low pressure cabin, and definitely qualifies as a micro hack. Have the tab pointing towards the seat in front, and pull up and towards self.

Stayed at Sydney Hilton two nights ago. First time since the new exec lounge opened on L1. Our room upgrade was actually a downgrade. It was to exec floor (L36) in the area where the old exec lounge was, and where they have now squeezed in more rooms. Our room was much smaller (narrower)...

Yeah, we get it mate. You really don't like VA, and will never fly them again...

Just looking at renewing ours (a couple, ie two people) now. Cover-more through Virgin Australia seems okay at $618 for the Plus cover, jumps up to $907 for 45 day trip duration. QF twice the price.

Email received one hour ago. Bye bye NAB. Edit: ten minutes later, Mac Bank a/c opened and balance transferred over from NAB.

Nicer than the Qantas SYDint J lounge.

No problem if you can be finished breakfast by 6:30am, express checkout, then not more than 20 minutes to any gate in T3 (unless you suffer option (c)!).

It's refreshment and then a full-on lunch later in the flight, including the famous satay (in J). That would be my preference (instead of breakfast and a later refreshment) - I can have breakfast in the hotel or lounge.

Pretty incredible, four daily CAN/SYD.

No, VA BNE lounge has self service wine.

I think a common strategy where you have an existing pension a/c is: (1) keep open a small amount in your accum a/c, (2) contribute funds to that accum a/c, (3) rollover the pension a/c balance into the accum a/c and close the pension a/c, (4) open a new pension a/c (with the entire balance if...

$360k now (or $120k p.a.).

What everyone else said about SG immigration speed and ease. I would recommend Village Hotel Changi Village, particularly with children, two pools and there is a lot of parkland, playgrounds and seaside at Changi Beach, can stretch the legs in the morning. As well as a great hawker centre. And a...

To be fair, if I'd received such a small number of beans, I'd count them too.

Yes, VA did have toasties before QF, but VA's "enhancement" of deleting the ham is just one more nail in the coffin for me of continuing loyalty to VA. It will be a dark day some time in the future if I finally have to admit that QF is the better option, after all my decades of bagging them.

Mm, maybe there was an equipment change also, in your case.

Yep, SQ is vastly better in economy and you have plenty of SQ flights SIN-BNE-SIN to choose from. Much better food, comfortable seats, great service, more reliable, fewer delays.
