Virgin Australia bids for Tokyo/Haneda flights
Sep 17, 2019, 07:14 PMA Japan leg would certainly make sense for VA as it is short of competition, and you would imagine decent passenger loads if they can replicate their HK product. However, you can't help but wonder if they have more pressing strategic decisions to make before they expand their international footpr...

Virgin-to-Virgin London route one step closer
Jul 05, 2019, 06:01 PMThis is potentially great news. Would be a great win for VA mind you about time they had some good news! For those of us loyal to VA, at least domestically, the benefits of a seamless route through to London with all bells and whistles can only be positive. I just hope it actually happens. And be...

Sydney Airport re-opens T1 Express Path
May 06, 2019, 09:36 AMFlying F SIA later this morning and just had the pleasure of queue into passport control which I kid you not would have been 150m long winding through the terminal with the NSW police trying to keep everyone in check and making sure people join the line at the end. Only good thing I can say is th...

Frequent flyers, what sleeping pills do you use and recommend?
Jun 02, 2019, 04:14 PMTemazapam for me although you need a prescription. Find I get a good 7 - 8 hours and feel OK upon waking. Alcohol doesn't seem to interfere too much either - obviously within reason though.

Virgin Australia delays Boeing 737 MAX order, adds more MAX 10s
May 17, 2019, 05:48 PMSome people just enjoy knocking VA at any opportunity. This decision to delay the Max 8 until 2025 and ramping up the Max 10 is a smart move. They are not alone in having Max 8's on order and are dealing with the issue in the right way. I don't see what else they could have done for a better resu...

To be honest it only bothers me if people are queuing for the loo standing next to me or over me. Its happened a few times. Ive gone to pick up my wine glass and had to be extra careful...

Business class to London: Etihad or Singapore Airlines?
Mar 03, 2019, 09:40 PMGreat question from the OP which highlights just how great air travel can be and how much it reflects everyday life - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all have our preferences. My view is simple. Just weigh up all the benefits and negatives and make your call. Look at the arrival times in...

What's it like to fly with Etihad in 2018?
Jan 30, 2019, 09:22 PMI have traveled the SYD-LHR trip three or four times a year for the last ten years or so in first. Last year I switched to SQ for the first time because I wanted to try out their new A380 first class offering which was excellent. However, just about to book next flight LHR return trip and will pr...
