Which government does this? The one I work for simply asks us to not be swayed by points and to consider redeeming points for a work flight if we’ve earned points from previous work flights. It’s pretty vague.

I find the $2 inflatable ones from the reject shop the best. I always under-inflate it. The ones with beanbag beans are way too filled for my liking. I’ve splurged on expensive inflatable ones from the airport in the past when I’ve forgotten my faithful reject shop version, but they’re not...

Yep, last week on VA, but the flights were 4 days apart. I’m terrible at recognising people but the cabin manager in question was so lovely and personable that I recognised her immediately. We had a good chat.

I’m getting better but it’s still a bit of a roulette when it comes to sleep. Some flights I get heaps and others almost zero. I have a bit of a routine and list of necessary items: reject shop inflatable neck pillow (loosely inflated), eye mask, earplugs, pillow behind back, extra pillow to...

Two in one: a short brekkie (chia with fruit) And a yellow curry dinner:

Yeah, my other half had some pre-promo flight credited. Mine weren’t though. Luck of the draw I think.

So true. My tastes have changed over the years, along with my budget.

Sounds like a throwaway line that no human has really thought about. I can’t imagine a destination that is perfect for everyone. I have my favourite countries and cities and regions that I will happily travel to over and over. And yet I speak to people who dislike those same areas, even though...

Does anyone remember the minimum spend criteria for the Virgin Money card? Was it 1.5k for two months?

I am rarely able to check in online to the domestic segment before an international connection, so I always allow plenty of time at the airport beforehand. VA does advise getting to the airport earlier when you have an international connection. It must be disappointing to miss out on the J...

Not that I know. I last flew SQ PE in November and the loos were shared with economy

It’ll tell you how much when you go to choose the seats. It varies depending on the flight. I tend to go for an aisle in the middle row. If you’re an aisle person, I’d avoid the back row because the PE toilets are shared with economy down that way and people can bump your chair when they’re...

SYD-HBA, we were offered a vego pasta that was further described as “tomato” when I enquired about the sauce (I like to avoid cream sauces). From the taste and colour I reckon it was probably pumpkin. All the pasta takers were asked on serving if they wanted some bonus chorizo. I get it - it was...

Just in case anyone finds themselves in the same boat, while I wasn’t able to change my number from QR to VA at the airport (as mentioned earlier in the thread), I was able to delete my points with Qatar after the flights had been credited by ringing up Qatar. Then I was able to assign them to...

That would be super annoying!

MCU43 is still active. Saved $60 off choice flights. Curiously, it also seemed to work on the lite fares.

Nah I’ll probably fly on a lite fare. I have no problems picking up the 8 sectors elsewhere.

Thanks all. I find the seasonal designation kinda funny because I do most of my travel from the smaller island in winter and spring. I have to get my vitamin D somehow. I’ll try and see the silver lining in all this. More segments = more status credits.

VA’s direct HBA-ADL flights look like they’re coming to an end at the end of April, annoyingly, the week before I next want to fly that route. I wonder if it’s a seasonal thing or whether VA is cutting the route altogether. The direct flights were terrific. It also explains why I couldn’t get...

This thread makes out that VA’s proposal is outrageous when in fact pets are taken on planes and trains in other countries without the mass meltdowns imagined by many of my fellow AFFs. I look forward to the company of my future doggo flight neighbours.
