    Upgraded to Business at the gate: how to maximise chances?

    Tonight I was upgraded to Business class at the gate for my SYD-MEL flight. It was pretty clear why Virgin did this: on the flight was what appeared to be an entire AFLW team plus entourage, and every seat was filled. My question: was I upgraded because I happened to be one of the first...

    Earning Points on home insurance with a business?

    Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with earning points on home insurance that also features a hair salon on site? A family friend has tried both Qantas Insurance and Virgin Money and neither will insure due to a business? Is there a way around it?

    Since when have QF stopped serving champagne in long haul Business?

    I realise this is patently a first world problem. One of the things I quite look forward to when flying business long haul is the champagne. It’s one of the things that makes it a treat. I’d go as far as saying I’d skip drinks in the lounge to save myself for a glass or two onboard. So was...

    Business class meals in economy (SK)
