| Virgin
Passengers Left Starving |
Virgin
Australia passengers flying from Los Angeles
to Australia last week were left starving
after the airline failed to provide proper
catering for the 15 hour flight. To make
matters worse, Virgin failed to advise
passengers of the lack of food until
everyone was already on board. This meant
passengers caught up in the Virgin catering
crisis did not even have an opportunity to
purchase extra food before their long-haul
flight.

Exclusive
Online Event:
"Buying Points in 2017: Why, What, When
& How?" |
Ever
wish there was an easier way to accumulate
frequent flyer points? Well, there is…
buying them! Numerous airlines actively sell
frequent flyer points - often with generous
discounts or bonuses.
By buying frequent flyer points, you could fly
Business or First class for Economy prices!
(Yes, really.) The trick is to buy the
points at a discount and to redeem them
effectively for high value flights. Often
the cost of the points is less than half of
the retail fare of the flight they're
redeemed for!
In our upcoming webinar, Frequent Flyer
Solutions will show you exactly how to take
advantage of these fantastic opportunities.
Join us at 8pm (AEDT) on Wednesday,
29 November and learn from the
experts how to travel in luxury
without breaking the bank!
