Virgin Australia business class: a real game-changer
Jun 22, 2024, 04:02 PMFlew J class Syd Dps and what a ordinary experience. No lounge expected that so went to Amex. Wife recently diagnosed Celiac.

Qantas drops Shanghai, boosts Singapore and India
May 15, 2024, 12:51 PMHow uninspiring yet another overnight flight that runs within 2 hours of existing flights. How I miss the daylight QF 32 service! Lately I've found a single overnight from Europe is much less taxing on your body. Loved the FCO PER early evening arrival to SYD. Love that SQ has two daylight options.

Qantas reveals big change in ‘extra legroom seat’ pricing
Apr 05, 2024, 01:42 PMAnother nail for the price of loyalty... Platinum members are not going to be happy with the co payment even when the seat selection opens up. Glad to see velocity still keeps this perk. It's little things like this that really make you wonder if it is worth being loyal to qf. I bet there is...

Singapore Airlines switches Cairns to an Airbus A350
Mar 28, 2024, 11:37 AMAnd this is the reason why the Krisflyer program beats the QFFF program hands down!...meanwhile QF - 2 flights from Sydey (A380/A330) and Melb (A330) and I think 1 from Perth on a 737 and Brisbane 1 (A330). Cairns/Adelaide 0. And all flights back from Singapore are within a 3-4 hour window...I fi...

Is Qantas Lifetime Gold status worth aiming for?
Nov 16, 2023, 06:55 PMI just recently attained LTG after 31 years. However that I have attained this and with all the QF issues I am totally disengaged from the program. Attaining LTP is out of the question and I no longer can justify paying the QF loyalty tax for mediocre service and no premium reward seats...one of ...

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...
