Regional Express/Rex guide: routes, fleet, cabin, lounges [2022]
Feb 17, 2021, 05:59 PMAgreed. I fly to an airport 1hr drive away to avoid Rex for this very reason. They might get you there, but they'll rarely do it on time.

Bain reveals plans for new 'mid-market' Virgin Australia 2.0
Nov 19, 2020, 04:52 PMDitto, always packed when I'm there. If there's no lounges at the destinations you're flying to because they've consilidated them all, what's the point of choosing VA when QF can provide the full experience. This just tells me any frequent flyer who deigns to have travel practices that sometimes ...

Why Virgin Australia should start charging for meals in its lounges
Oct 29, 2020, 01:09 PMDavid, no! This would be a line in the sand for me (unless it was *retaining* what they do have, and adding something substantial instread of replacing what was free with something that is not).I work for a company that not only doesn't fly its suits around in business class, it actively prohibit...

Virgin to ditch free meals, snacks, drinks in economy?
Oct 23, 2020, 01:33 PMThis would be a nice differentiation. But TBH a better way to do this might be to have grab and go in the lounge. I really enjoyed the coffee and pastry grab and go, and it would save the headaches of tracking down random WPs in the air. Decent but not substantial packs would be good for when you...

Oct 15, 2020, 10:16 AMVirgin Platinum twice over here (i.e. fly enought to gift platinum to wife as well). We have to fly economy by company policy but I fly too much for work to endure a LCC service (or lack thereof) on flights, so will be moving at least 100 flights per year away from VA if they go this route....

Frequent flyers, what sleeping pills do you use and recommend?
Apr 24, 2019, 09:04 AMI generally don't like sleeping pills as though they let me sleep, I don't actually feel awake or refreshed if I wake up from a sleeping pill sleep. I don't use a sleeping pill but use Kava. It doesn't knock you out and put you to sleep, but relaxes you enough that you can sleep when you want to....

What is the future of Virgin Australia?
Jul 31, 2018, 04:02 PMI hope they move into an alliance. I think the relationship with SQ (which would probably be the only block) is solid enough to survive a SkyTeam move (at least in the sense SQ wants a non-QF partner in Australia it has some control of, unless it is allowed to operate domestically which is not on...
