Melbourne Airport Rail Link: here’s what you need to know
Jul 24, 2018, 09:20 AMRail is of course a great idea, I'm a big user of Syd CityRail to airport and Bris' Airtrain. I much prefer those options to your generally odorous taxi. However unsure why the dislike for Skybus, which is pretty efficient. I'd rather be paying $19 for a Skybus in peak hour traffic than $50 in...

Virgin Australia expands 'on arrival' lounge access, with a catch
Jun 18, 2018, 11:08 AMI suspect the rule is to stop flyers who flew in during the A.M. returning in the evening, ensuring they are partaking of F&B at their airport hotel rather than the lounge. Certainly there is no ability to conduct an audit once you have entered. Seems petty.

Why the Qantas first class lounge needs to be much more 'exclusive'
Apr 06, 2018, 02:06 PMPoints upgrade for a lowly Gold? You are kidding John, dm12 would have to fight off the WP1s & WPs first. Love the way the author wants to turn the place into his own private spa, those WPs booking JQ flights won't be happy. Remember when Joyce grounded the fleet? (Who could forget). The...

Virgin Australia Platinum flying Business. LAX Lounge options
Mar 22, 2017, 11:59 PMThanks Jorge, a definite win for VA Platinums and at least Golds are now accommodated as well. But it is interesting Qantas Frequent Flyers can't access this lounge themselves despite being an Emirates partner. Slightly amusing I guess.

Cathay Pacific business class lounge, Hong Kong
Feb 28, 2017, 09:34 AMI dropped by The Wing and wasn't overly impressed. Crowded. Posting this from The Pier now - worth it if you have time to get here, it's a significant walk. Very impressive lounge.
