  • How first class became more like a ‘personal apartment’

    Nov 08, 2024, 10:04 AM

    Given the carbon emissions by private jets, perhaps it makes sense to offer these uber-expensive seats as an alternative to the cost of private jets, particularly for long haul flights? 

  • Turkish Airlines boosts Sydney-Istanbul flights

    Nov 07, 2024, 12:59 PM

    Whether the stop-over is in KL or Singapore (on SQ metal), the 1-2 hours is great for stretching the legs and taking a short walk to/from the business lounge (its a long flight to Istanbul).  It's unclear whether there's a plane change or re-boarding the same plane.  As a segue to ...

  • Big changes coming to Virgin’s Singapore Airlines partnership

  • 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!
