    Strategy to obtain UK Amex

    I've maintained a BA Amex card for over 20 years when in UK for Avios and continued to maintain it when I moved to Australia 5 years ago. Recently Amex have asked me for "know your customer details" This also includes evidence of home address in UK and salary....albeit I am now retired from work...

    Virgin Bali expansion, next up CBR-DPS

    Personally I am happy enough to revert to one world ops when at Bali and route Bali-Europe-Bali with one world on a cheaper biz fare. I would be grateful however with the added bonus of flying VA between PER and Bali and grabbing some status credit and points on that route as my "feeder" and...

    Virgin Bali expansion, next up CBR-DPS

    This to me is a winner...and why I was so mad at VA not executing properly their "thoughts" of PER-DPS. Onward connections at good cost. .and a couple of days in Bali on the return.

    Are all Virgin Australia economyX seats the same pitch on the 737-8

    The older config. With the divider definitely gives appearance and feel of more leg room . The middle seats are not great but window and aisle are ok although I have experienced middle pax leg spread unfortunately on the new. As plat and if in Y, I still think window and aisle ok for row 3 but...

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    Last night between MEL and PER I actually was able to watch "live tennis" on my phone without to much annoyance. Spooling did happen regularly but only for a few seconds on each occasion.

    Awful VA crew between Kalgoorlie and Perth

    TBF to VA, a couple of.times the CSD has actually said to biz pax that they were going down the back but to call if required. Also on one recent sector they sent to the front one of the others who were down down the back...who subsequently did a fine job! 😁

    As a result of my complaint, I have received quite a reasonable and sincere apology and 15,000 points. Hope they also discussed the matter with the CSD!

    Awful VA crew between Kalgoorlie and Perth

    Had a VA flight from Kalgoorlie to Perth earlier in the week. Probably one of the worst for quite a while. Despite the boards being displayed for priority boarding and general, not used, one announcement, free for all, mad scrum. No WiFi onboard the 737 700. No real apology. CSD was useless...

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Certainly a free for all on the flights of Qantas and Virgin Aus yesterday late afternoon from Kalgoorlie. No priority announcement by any...scramble at gates. Hope the QF flight was better than the VA one...rubbish crew, rubbish service. 😩It was pathetic.
