I'm in the VA Lounge thread

In MEL now, as are the West Coast Eagles. I thought that they would be given the time of this PER flight had effectively been pushed back 90 mins. The full row 10 on the A332 has been allocated or blocked for weeks which is quite unusual. Will be interested to see if some of their taller players get the extra legroom or if there are some Eagles fans who are plats and plan ahead.

I have a feeling that my flight back on Fri might be with Freo as once again it is a special time and all of row 10 is blocked/taken
 
Yes, row 10 is the eagles. Including one who tried unsuccessfully to upgrade himself to the row instead of a later boarding teammate
 
I'm in the SYD lounge from now until 1:30pm - if any other members are here come and say hi. I'm the most out of place looking guy here - wearing sneakers, shorts, red top and unshaven for a week!

Edit:Just had shower, now white top with blue and green graphic on back, still unshaven!

In MEL now. There is some reasonable fried rice to pair with the Asian style pork. Much better than what I normally see on a Sunday afternoon when I pass through here

I'm in ADL at the moment and wouldn't mind some of the rice
 
Vlounging in MEL before my red eye to DRW. I could ask the other 2 pax here if they are AFF members.

No hotdogs.

The male lounge angel remarked how early I am & reminded me that I've now used 1 of 2 silver guest passes. I assured him I'll be Gold at the end of this trip.

Can we go down to mood lighting?
 
In the PER lounge.

In the old corner by the milk and underneath the national geographic tv. Here till 1730.
Colourful shirt, dell laptop, and a ridiculously long iPhone charging cable.


First time I have ever checked in my 3 bag entitlement. At priority checkin was asked if I had pre-purchased additional bags and I said, No. Standard inclusion for Platinum... At least they put priority tags on them all this time which often doesn't happen.
 
The WiFi is rather slow in here today... I could see the QF Free Wifi, tried to connect but just too far..
 
The MEL lounge is an absolute zoo this morning, like I haven't seen it in a long time. I took a quick lap and quickly decided the gate lounge was a more pleasant place to be..

Hopefully it will be OK when I get there after lunch.
 
Chillin in the BNE Vlounge Suit in 15 minutes; Then in SYDs just after 12:30 hopefully for an hour...

Me in a suit, most likely making afew round trips to continue refilling my Lemonade (Why the glasses so small...) - Set myself up I shall around the corner from the reception desk, it's always a quieter place....

What time are you there? Im there from 1330-1515 Damn long connection, with no fly ahead direct available :(

I'll probably see you there. Leaving the city around lunch time & going straight into the Vlounge before departure at 1715. I don't want to fly ahead.

As much as I like the MEL VA Lounge I never need to spend more than an hour there - it's not that good!
 
Just arrived in the MEL Vlounge. I saw the woman that some people have spoken about who cleans the male loos.

I just realised that I left my iPad in my checked bags as I wanted to walk around HLO.
