I would prefer to still have it too… I like to watch the in flight map and listen to music on my phone at the same time.
Much easier to watch when it’s at eye level and also because of the larger screen. My neck can get a bit stiff if i have to keep looking down all the time and it’s not as good on a smaller screen.

What aircraft have other forum members travelled on the most ? For me probably the Airbus A320s,
I travelled most on Boeing 737-800s.
I’ve been on a few of them too,over the years
Qantas trying to protect its image?
seems like WWE Elimination Chamber has been a success in bringing in out of state fans to Perth in Feb.
I booked flights and accommodation in September when the event was announced. the price for the same flights have gone up 40% and i looked at direct flights between brisbane and perth and nothing was foind
As exclusively reported in today’s Herald Sun, Princess Cruises and Cunard will pull out of Melbourne in 2025, due to a 15% hike in port fees which is expected to take affect from January 1, 2024.
Perhaps opportunities to build a new facility down at Geelong. I recall the spirit terminal area can fit another area on the opposite side.
If anything, this exposes the fact that successive Victorian governments (both Labor and LNP) had ignored Station Pier so now it falls behind both Sydney and Brisbane in terms of cruise terminal facilities.
Presumably to offset the loss of income from The Spirit?
I keep getting emails from Velocity trying to flog off cheap point deals for that cruise. Must be having issues selling tickets.
Could it be due to the age limit (you must be 21 years or above)? That prevents many people aged 18-20 to book for their first cruise.
Virgins first refurbished 787-800 VH-VUP entered service today apart of the $110 million fleet investment. It now features an extra row of Economy Class, power outlets and Wi-Fi.
The new cabin divider is yet to be installed.
Interesting is that aircraft is quite old looking at the history. I flew on one of Virgins old 737s last week, was about 20 years old and it was pretty ugly inside, side window wall panel was falling off. Was the original seats as it had the old live tv seat backs which have been covered over on the back or the seats, I remember watching live tv on Virgin was probably 15 years back, quality was terrible, when the flight was late they normally gave it for free
The first will be the annual ‘cost of living’ increase on January 1, which is tied to the consumer price index.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ most recent CPI figures for 2023 reported a 5.4% rise, which would see the cost of the 10-year adult passport bumped up to around $340.
On top of this, Treasurer Jim Chalmers today confirmed a second increase of 15% or $50 would take effect from July 1, lifting the cost of a 10-year Australian adult passport to almost $400.
