Velocity updates - August 2007

[Yada Yada]

For those who are not Virgin Blue Lounge (or Velocity members) the following email sent out today about updates may be of interest.

Happy Birthday to The Lounge
Time flies when you are having fun – it’s hard to believe that The Lounge has recently celebrated its 1st birthday. It’s been an exciting journey and we’ve enjoyed taking you for the ride.

Look What’s New
The Lounge has introduced some new and tempting additions to the menu. A hot selection of Risotto is now available along with a range of salad and soups to compliment the evening menu throughout the colder months. The bar is now serving from 11am every day and the wine selection has grown to feature some of Australia’s most loved labels including Penfolds, 5th Leg and Rosemount.

Nice changes.

I like this bit:

The bar is now serving from 11am every day

In other forums, people have been asking Qantas to bring their service forward to 11am. I'm glad someone listened

This one as well http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer/free-wireless-in-the-qp-9555.html?highlight=11am#post120737 ... i.e. 11am wet bar opening, is not a NEW feature for the Lounge! They are just rehashing/promoting their competitive advantage.
