  • Virgin Australia seeks $1.4 billion Government bailout

    Apr 01, 2020, 11:05 AM

    QUESTION I have booked for January, a business class ticket with SQ to UK paid for with VA points (plus the cash of course). Does anyone know FOR SURE what the status of this ticket is. Is it paid and I am relying on SQ to come good or is it , "not paid" and I am hoping that VA makes it so th...

  • End of the line for the Qantas Boeing 747?

    Mar 30, 2020, 12:28 PM

    Seeing QF will be finished with 747. Got me thinking of one of the rarest things in flying. Sitting up front upon take-off with all the noise until the nose wheel retracted and it was then extremely quiet with only the sound of rushing air.

  • Beyond the bar: airlines resurrect the inflight lounge

    They all look great on the slick pix. Once you actually see them, they look like a cleaned up crime scene. All antiseptic and uninviting. The closest to acceptable/sociable is and was the EK bar on the A380's.

  • Delta Air Lines reveals new Airbus A321neo first class seat

  • VA status for AirNZ Elite?

    Aug 21, 2018, 03:41 PM

    FYI I checked with VA about lounge access in WLG or AKL for international flights in December and there was no answer available. Perhaps they will resort to a $20 voucher LOL.

  • More Qantas business class cost-cutting?

    Aug 21, 2018, 03:34 PM

    I am not sure why the (airline) focus on time of leaving. Lots of people are connecting from "elsewhere" so the local time in SIN of HKG is irrelevant. Perhaps the best way forward is to extend Online preordering to allow people to "opt out" and get some sleep whilst others can be in whatever ...

  • Where are the Virgin Australia award seats to LA?

Not one seat was showing available. the only way I could see to LAX was on 12 June via MEL , naturally for a hight c...
