  • Virgin Australia reveals new international 777 flights

    Dec 04, 2024, 05:16 AM

    Given the article says 'a 412-seat count accords with the non-upgraded 777s which have 24 older business class seats' and 'arranged in a 2-2-2 layout' I think it is safe to assume the VA flights are going to be operated by what QR term "MiniPods" on the AeroLOPA website - an inferior 777 product ...

    EK sit one or there daily 2 x A380’s on the ground in BNE for 14 hours every day so not unusual at all

  • The massive changes coming to Brisbane Airport

    Sep 12, 2024, 03:36 PM

    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 ...

  • Virgin Australia ending Cairns-Tokyo flights

    Jul 24, 2024, 03:03 PM

    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...

  • Qatar Airways to take 25% stake in Virgin Australia

    Jun 28, 2024, 06:17 AM

    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 ...

  • Using own Bluetooth Headphones on SQ

    Needing some help pleaseCan you connect your own headphones (Bose 7000) via Bluetooth to Kris World? I’m reading conflicting info. I did not bring an aux cable or adaptor with me for a wired connection. The WiFi was not working on the outbound aircraft so not sure if this was related and wh...

  • VA Business Class

    Jan 28, 2021, 10:03 PM

    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...

  • Velocity: Are you taking the emergency exit yet?

    Oct 28, 2020, 10:52 AM

    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...

  • Virgin Australia complimentary drink policy change

    Jan 08, 2020, 03:51 PM

    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?
