100% There are very limited VA-marketed international flights, and of those - they are overpriced and very hard to book, which is a nightmare.

But that outstation at SIN is likely shared with business customers, which is probably why it's better? I don't really get your point, sure a first class lounge is better than a business class one, but I don't think that justifies the level of mediocrity of Qantas' J lounges in SYD and MEL (not...

Sorry not sure what any of this has to do with anything.

I am not sure by what metric you say they are "not that bad". Finding a seat to relax is the most foundational aspect of a lounge, so the fact that they are crowded does make them bad. Additionally, every other aspect of the lounge is horrible (food and alcohol). Qantas headquarters is Sydney...

Just read this as well, highly surprising.

To be fair I've only been to the flagship business lounges in SYD and MEL and club in Adelaide? 🤔 but the international lounges are so bad and they are meant to be the best example, so why

That sounds like a business process problem more than anything else, any normal business will want to solve that - regardless of whether it happens all at once or throughout the year.

I'm not a VA fanboy, but Qantas lounges are so bad that I don't see any problem. They are not exactly competing with Qatar...

That's good, but I wish they didn't screw around with interest accounts as they do now.

A lot of routes where I previously received search results for F, don't even have the column at all in the search results. Glad I'm not the only one noticing strange behaviour.

I would recommend Haarlem and Utrecht and then Leiden and Delft. Skip Rotterdam, but that's just my bias. It looks horrible and is essentially where all of Europe's drugs come from, so it's pretty rough.

The funniest thing about this is that Germany is again going to get blame for something done by some Austrian(s). But seriously, imagine if these people were on that JAL A350 at Haneda, man they would be roast chicken.

I have the pro gpt plan as well as gemini, I have to say its very cheap for the value you get - a highly productive personal assistant and researcher.

Geez, are they lowering the fee as well? What is it even for?

If it's a legitimate business, they are positioning themselves horribly with that website design.

Nothing would make me loyal to any airline, always look to what makes the most sense, in any scenario. The way the devaluation of points and the general worsening of benefits of all these programs is going, it may not be worthwhile to even be a high-ranking member much longer.

If anyone follows Bald, he did a video on Tibet recently, which is very interesting, because you are not allowed to be there without a tour guide - but of course he snuck off sometimes. Never seen this part of the world, and unlikely to visit anytime soon, so it's quite fascinating.

Yes, that exactly is my point. I think they didn't like customers like me who spent far more money flying internationally with their partners. I guess if you want to fly a lot overseas, Qantas is going to be the better program. It's ironic, because it's an exact 180 to how the situation was...

A company of the size of Qantas would have far far more IT systems than just "salesforce", I can guarantee you that.

You should declare personal bankruptcy and see how challenging it is just to get a basic credit card 🤣 Before you say it's different for companies, yeh it's worse, the basic business model for VA is not much different to before, but it's arguably a smaller company now. The fact that they've...
