VA Dom J affords 2 x 32kg checked baggage? Is this correct?

MEL-MCY J - do they serve real Champs sparkiling wine pls?

Luggage correct. (WP get an extra for 3 x 32Kg)

It's Sparkling Wine, not sourced from the french region of "Champagne". In spite of that it is not too shabby. Available as a PDB as well.

I agree with @serfty. The sparkling wine is drinkable. I'll also add that the VA dom J meals seem to have risen a notch or two. In recent years they've been superior to QF and certainly tasty, yet my last few flights have been restaurant quality IME. I'm just hoping it continues.

No Dom or Krug or CH? This will shock the system

I will post pics of the luggage on return

VA J MEL-MCY Dec 23 / MCY-MEL Dec 28 - can indeed report VA serve New Zealand Champagne in J - tastes just like ‘sheep dip’!

=> serfty - remind me to never let you choose the wine ‘Hawker’!

Note there's no NZ Champagne, only NZ Sparkling wine.

Did you try the pantry pig menu?

Do I need to make a seperate post or not for the following?

Phonecall to family members and asked one that had the most points in account..... Do you have your card?
Yes .....oh look at that it has expired!

They claim to not have received a new updated card. They only use the card at BP to keep account active.

Can they use the card only to swipe at BP even though it has expired?

Is it a simple phone call to get a new one sent out?

 

[Deleted member 29185]

I'm not sure, but I suspect it will still work. I think the main thing is that the account is still active. I think the expiry date is for status rather than the card itself. What colour is it?

Does anyone have the general email address for velocity? I have no status. Their call centre could not tell me!!!
