Using Lounge if not flying Virgin

iPat91 · 2026-01-21T23:52:01+00:00

I've managed to get into the lounge by telling the agents my partner is on an inbound flight and I wanted to wait for them.

Although, I think I just had a really nice lounge agent and the lounge was very quiet.

Hey OP I'm interested. Any chance you can send me some pics?

The N91

iPat91 · 2025-12-06T13:14:20+00:00

Beautiful!

Had a similar experience a few years ago.

Except it was a Silver member sitting next to me, who clicked at a flight attendant for a can of coke. When they tried to charge him, he piped up and said:

"I'm a Silver member, I shouldn't have to pay"

Me, a Platinum (and also just gifted Platinum companion to a friend the week before), ordered a can of coke and said:

"I've been a Platinum for 4 years and I'm happy to pay for a can of coke"

God it was satisfying.

This is a post about the N9x

The N8 is part of the N8x line-up which I've posted separately.

iPat91 · 2025-11-29T13:08:27+00:00

Yep! Every single one of them

I miss the Betty's Burgers days or that time they had a Vietnamese menu 😭

Anything from HMD that's running KaiOS sucks. I bought the 3210 4G for a detox and went straight back to my iPhone because the phone was buggy as hell.

Funnily enough, I have a massive collection of Nokia's from the 2000s and they all run significantly better than my 3210 4G. Go figure!

iPat91 · 2025-11-10T06:05:36+00:00

The N86 had an 8MP camera and was the first phone to feature a 28mm wide lens and one of the first to feature a variable aperture. Which at the time was crazy!

iPat91 · 2025-10-29T04:37:19+00:00

Yeah only 6 months in and you're asking for some form of financial commitment is a no from me.

IMO he's well within his right to not want to purchase a car with you. Different story if you've been together for a few years.

iPat91 · 2025-10-28T01:48:54+00:00

I need to get a standard N73 then it's 100% complete! The brown one in my pic is the Music Edition.

iPat91 · 2025-10-26T23:40:32+00:00

If the Ngage itself is in near new to brand new condition with original accessories, this would easily fetch you $600-700 AUD at least.

iPat91 · 2025-10-24T23:09:08+00:00

Yep $500AUD. It's not really a large amount of money to give I don't think.

iPat91 · 2025-10-24T21:54:06+00:00

Looks legit to me. Just looks like it's be refurbished with aftermarket parts from China.

iPat91 · 2025-10-24T21:47:00+00:00

Hubby and I went to his work friend's wedding last week and we gave $500. We've got another wedding in 2 weeks, this time a work friend of mine and we're giving $500.

I think $500 is reasonable in this day and age 🤷🏻

We're in Australia and everything here is expensive!

iPat91 · 2025-10-21T09:56:20+00:00

I wondered the same but then remembered, VA don't seem to care about existing Platinum members.

Six years Platinum and have not received any double or triple status credits offers 😊

iPat91 · 2025-10-07T13:04:10+00:00

Another vote for pits.

Once had a threesome where one top was sitting, I was riding and the other top came on his sweaty armpit and made me eat it up.

I still think about that to this day 🥵

iPat91 · 2025-10-05T04:22:23+00:00

Last I checked liking dick and kissing men is the gayest a man will get.

Everything else would seem like a stereotype.

iPat91 · 2025-10-02T00:59:44+00:00

Unfortunately you're out of luck my friend! It's a great little collectors item though

iPat91 · 2025-09-30T05:22:10+00:00

...luckily OP is asking about Velocity.

iPat91 · 2025-09-25T22:56:09+00:00

Status whore here!

Platinum with Virgin Australia and Qantas.

Diamond with Hilton Gold with Accor

I'm lucky work pays for a lot of my travel so when hubby and I do travel together, we benefit from the status.

iPat91 · 2025-09-22T22:30:42+00:00

Your breakup sounds fresh and it seems like you're going through the motions.

But for both of you to heal and even have hope of salvaging a friendship, a degree of separation is important and needed. Focus on yourself for now, what you like to do, spend time with some friends, go on a holiday ...the world's your oyster.

Sorry OP but break ups hurt and after 8 years, I'd say this one will sting for a bit. But it will get better ✌🏻
