Virgin moves to spend-based Velocity status earning
Oct 17, 2024, 10:09 AMWhat planet is Nick Rohrlach on? It's self-evidently NOT “an inherently “simpler” way to track and earn status” , despite what he is trying to persuade us to believe. Previously, even before booking the flight, I would know that a flight would earn me a certain number...

Get ready for JAL’s amazing new A350 first, business class
Dec 12, 2023, 02:32 PMHaving "stereo speakers built into the headrests, “allowing customers to enjoy the inflight entertainment system without using headphones”" sounds like a recipe for noise pollution and arguments?

What makes a great hotel room for business travellers?
Nov 02, 2023, 03:14 PMDecent lighting - I don't understand why so many hotels have such poor lighting in their rooms. How hard is it to give guests a decent, bright central light, ideally with a dimmer switch for extra control? They can add one or two of their usual, lower-power lamps on top of that......

Bait and switch: should you be compensated for an inferior seat?
Mar 14, 2023, 05:56 PMI hope your compensation / reimbursement was based on the economy prices available at the time of booking, not the usual Qantas rubbish of calculating the price difference based on the most expensive Flex fare?

Exit row eligibility
Oct 09, 2024, 12:51 PMBig surprise flying SQ SIN-ADL the other day; a very large teenager wedged himself into the seat next to me in the exit row during boarding (he couldn't sit all the way back in the seat and his hips were pushing both of the fixed armrest panels outwards), only to be told by the cabin crew that th...

Exit row eligibility
Aug 14, 2024, 07:33 PMOriginally Posted by MrT It can and does happen, my elderly father was moved out of an exit row last week. To be fair, it was an honest mistake as he didn’t realise he had reserved an exit row seat at the time of booking and willing moved upon boarding. Thanks, MrT - did your father reply ...

Exit row eligibility
Aug 14, 2024, 01:28 PMI have recently flown ADL-PER-ADL and on both flights, the same elderly gentleman was in the exit row seats. He was highly obese and very slow-moving (almost shuffling along; pretty much everyone overtook him easily on the aerobridge and he leant on most of the rows of seats on his way to the exi...
