I tried to keep going through the whole thing and failed, and I normally love the QF safety videos. Although it is beautifully shot, it is so glacially paced and uninteresting that it felt like a chore to watch. It lacks the charm, nostalgia and/or patriotism of previous videos which is a...

It will be a huge shame if they get rid of the magnetic rope whichever solution they go with. It's the only thing that half deters people from swanning up to Business and hanging around there to use the fancy toilets (/s) up front. If they do get rid of the magnetic rope, I hope they introduce...

I believe it only did it's first certification flight a day or so ago, with a couple more to follow before it is released to QF, so I wouldn't expect anything imminent. Hopefully it is released to QF before the end of the month – though I have no idea how long these things really take. 😄

You're right, there seem to be quite a few grammatical inconsistencies in the menu (and I'm certainly no expert). I reckon they probably got them supplied from the wineries and didn't get checked over by a copywriter, which would be lazy, considering they surely have at least one in their...

I agree with this. I mostly fly for leisure and got to Plat that way, so the J upgrades are of little use to me. When the Flex fare is only $50 cheaper than booking the J fare outright, without the hassle of calling for the upgrade, it feels like a false 'benefit' to me when I would just pay for...

I’m all for them moving the magnetic rope to after the first lot of EconX rows while I’m WP 😂😂😂

Agree, I also don't think they would get a sub-fleet of MAX-8's specific for these routes. My hope (and comment above) was around picking up wide-bodies post-IPO (A350, 787 etc). I'm hoping post-IPO they look to expand beyond a mostly domestic network and offer more international routes, but I...

Unfortunately not. They treat this route like they do domestic routes re: buy on board. Coffee, tea and water are only offered free for economy. Everything else must be paid for by physical credit card (still no cash or phone/watch payments).

That's true, I take your point. I referenced wide bodies since they are justified on long range routes and are likely to be kitted out with lie-flats because of that. They were never going to put lie-flats on the Max when they may end up switched to short domestic routes and hops from the east...

I will add that this trip did allow me to requalify for Plat which, along with cheap fares when they first announced the route, was part of my motivation to book these specific flights - so there were definite upsides to these flights as well :)

I flew MEL>CNS>HND Economy X, and then return HND>CNS>MEL in business. Some observations from my experience: MEL>CNS>HND (Economy X) My flight out of Melbourne was very early in order to make (6:30am departure). I am WP so had lounge access at Melbourne which was nice, but with a 3hr 20min...

My SC's have appeared in my account this morning. Never did get a response from Flybuys on twitter. 🤷‍♂️

Just following up on this one. The team managed to get my Velocity Points through to my account, but the SC are still missing. They have pushed me on to Flybuys to chase up the missing SC there. I couldn't find any useful contact information on their website so I have messaged them on twitter to...

I would contact VA directly and put this question to them. The booking page is very clear in that it is offering you 110 SC for the route, even to this day, and you have been given much less after the fact. I would request the additional 30 SC be credited. If you're on twitter perhaps give their...

It was, but priority exit was open and I was straight through (no queue). Normally, as the other person said, you get to the gate and stand among the gate lice wondering where the priority lane is so I was very surprised. 😁

I haven't received my Jan status credits either. Seems to be later than usual for processing. Also my VA app on my iPhone decided after November that it can no longer show my activity feed. I have to use the website now to view that. I've flagged it to the twitter team (as an aside to another...

I had the opposite issue once where boarding was announced in the MEL lounge (on time departure), I'd gone straight to the gate, and when getting there was confronted with a slightly grumpy lady telling those us arriving at the gate from the lounge to hurry and that boarding was closing. :rolleyes:
