Review: Rex Lounge, Sydney Airport T2
May 18, 2016, 05:04 PMI used to use the Sydney one a bit when REX did the Armidale run. It's simple but a break from the T2 rat run. Was always under-utilised. If you aren't on VA, there is no other lounge access in T2. There's always MoVida but a user pays lounge would offer some solace for the Jetgo, JQ, TT, Aerope...

Travel hack: biz class at economy prices
Apr 15, 2016, 04:14 PMVery interesting article Chris. What's not to love about deeply discounted bizzo fares. But ... VA's 737 J product is rubbish, "junk business class" as somebody on Ausbt rightly called it recently. Is bizzo SYD - MEL on a VA 737 even worth $221 ? The 330's over to Perth are another matte...

From an article "How to Feel Like You're in First Class"
May 14, 2016, 05:03 PMI think you would have to take it to the next level and sleep with the controller to get any results.I think someone should run a quantitative study into this. Maybe Ausbt could sponsor it .....Might be a PhD in it.

VA 'The Business' pre take off drinks.
Apr 20, 2016, 02:43 PMLast night on the 330 it was still/sparkling water, juice, or champagne. delly is right, the champagne is pretty ordinary. I actually thought it might have been N.V. Bolly cause it had that slightly chemically cheap Bolly aftertaste. The passion fruit roulade on the other hand, was lick...

Jan 08, 2016, 04:41 PMWhen I first started flying a lot I flew on AnsettTheir food was probably rubbish but for some reason I remember Ansett catering well. They were pretty generous with their meals I recall.And I miss Golden Wing. They were great lounges. Comfortable. Minties. Nice martinis up in Brisbane Golden Win...
