  • First look: Qantas upgrades A330s with new economy seats

    Oct 25, 2024, 01:12 PM

    So let me get this right, starting mid-2025, even with 9+ months pre-planning, it's going to take Qantas' Brisbane maintenance facility eighteen (18) months to do this upgrade to ten (10) only planes?  Surely, surely, with all that pre-planning, this upgrade could be done & dusted within...

  • Virgin to cut Etihad, Singapore Airlines partnerships?

    Oct 25, 2024, 10:39 AM

    Parting ways with EY comes as no surprise, but to even slightly singe the VA-SG relationship is a cause for concern.  I'm beginning to worry that what's good for Bain and QR may not be that good for VFFs, but happy to be fair and let time tell me otherwise (though when it does, it will tell ...

  • Virgin to cut Etihad, Singapore Airlines partnerships?

    Good question.  VR's Clubhouse lounges require a J-class fare for access (as best I recall, VA Platinum doesn't cut the grade, but I may be wrong).  Below Clubhouse, is the No.1 Lounge - never been there (yet).

  • Qatar Airways brings fast free WiFi to Australia

    Oct 24, 2024, 06:15 PM

    Streaming content is a fine concept while in one's own home country, but will depend heavily on whether (or not) the platform provider (e.g. Netflix, Stan, Foxtel, etc.) prefers to 'geo-fence' their content to Australia.  Most do geo-fence, which is why I've had to download movies and 'Seaso...

    Interesting, what could possibly go wrong (aside from a flat phone battery upon arrival).

  • Virgin Community - Focus Group Invitation

    Aug 26, 2024, 11:12 AM

    Just received my first invitation by Virgin to attend an in-person focus group meeting next month. Sadly, I'm unable to attend - and there's nothing I can do to avoid that conflict as I'll be overseas that week. But I felt that Virgin deserves a bit of a 'shout out', credit or recognition here ...

    Very good idea, and not at all hard to do. C'mon VA, get it done!
