• BNE International needs more space everywhere. I just can't see how moving immigration up to L4 is going to work. It's going to be very tight and it appears they aren't remodeling the atrium space to L3 so there is no extra floor space to work with. Arrivals experience into BNE on L2 is the pits ...

  • Guarantee it will cost more on the VA marketed flight vs NZ direct. I never book SQ on VA website - usually significantly more and there is minimal benefit if you don’t need the eligible sectors. The difference here will be NZ lounge access for VA Gold/Plat which I assume will only be avail...

  • Why is it only this route than has scorned the punters so much about the use of a narrow body? 7 hours is not that much difference to the East Coast - DPS route, PR fly a 321 BNE-MNL every day and there are plenty of narrow bodies crossing the Atlantic each and every day.I’m not saying it i...

  • I think VA may ultimately be forced (again) out of their current structure and QR is likely a smart investor and operator to have in your corner. VA needs a long term committed airline investor making longer term strategic and structural decisions. As much as I've loved SQ over the years (not so ...

  • Umm, not sure that is correct reeves35? From the VA website:"An Eligible Sector is any flight that begins with a VA flight number excluding Reward Seats or Economy Lite fares4. You will need to have earned the required amount of Status Credits and flown the minimum Eligible Se...

  • VA Business Class

    I’ve done 3 trips in 4 weeks with VA from BNE to CNS twice and once to TSV. My first trips since Feb last year.Things have changed and COVID is being used as an excuse I feel, for below average service and woeful food offering both onboard and in the lounge. It all feels very down market.On...

  • Not exiting yet but I am watching carefully. I've got a flight to CNS with them at Christmas and to be honest, had it not been a travel bank credit, I probably would have flown QF - the costs were comparable. I will however use up my VFF points in rapid succession early next year and have started...

  • I am typically a fan of Virgin but I travelled CNS-BNE last week with VA in Business Class and the meal they served up was terrible - overcooked and dry lamb pide - it bordered on uneatable. Prior to this, I'd never had a bad meal on VA in J. Hopefully not a sign of things to come?
