Virgin’s new inflight menu features this viral “cheeseburger toastie”
May 06, 2026, 12:22 PMNot sure why they can't cater for Celiac's when a lot of those meals in J class sounds like they are. Not fun when you get a bag of chips in J class to DPS!

Could Qantas move to spend-based status?
Dec 10, 2024, 10:39 AMGenerally speaking if it is better for the airline it is generally worse for its frequent flyer program members. Let's not forget Classic plus is all the rage now. You hardly see any QF classic redemptions on long haul. Qantas has gotten away with a mega devaluation. It's a race to the bottom! Kr...

Qantas redemption seats on a Boeing 787 delivery flight?
May 13, 2019, 05:34 PMMany years back I had a relative come to Syd on a brand new 747-400. So it has been done. QF had a ridiculous return fare at the time. I just don't recall if it was ex Boeing or LA or SF.

What is the future of Virgin Australia?
Aug 02, 2018, 07:25 PMFocus seem to be in China and HK. VA should consider India and partner with SQ there. Only AI flys once a day and they could have one aircraft on rotation. VA has better chance of competing with AI than QF and CX. Also a lot of Indian traffic don't want to fly AI. I guess it all comes down to yie...
