Welcome to FT 
As the moderator of the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club as well as this forum, I know you have to be pretty careful when abbreviating down the Virgin airlines as we have Virgin Atlantic (VA), Virgin America (VA) and Virgin Australia (VA). It's a bit of a relief that the other one is Virgin Blue
And further confused by the IATA codes being (respectively) VS/VX/VA... can you tell this is a real bugbear of mine yet?
Since we're talking LAX-SYD, I'm presuming you do actually mean VA properly (:-: ) and are not going the long way round on VS... in which case, seek out our 'Other Australian' forum http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/other...-programs-470/ as there may be some information on there. With it being still a relatively new airline... there might not be too much yet - in which case, we'd love to hear your views once you've flown it

There are a few of us oldies around, but I don't see Premex and Techgirl posting too often these days. You can click on any username to see when they have posted.

the last few events we went to were over at the yard house in long beach, the brazian steakhouse in sandiego and we hosted chamberlains steak house in dallas and the cask 'n' cleaver in cucamonga ca. premex lived very close to us in san dimas and i used to trade upgrade coupons with him and a few others.
since all of that we have still kept our software dev biz but we have also opened up a promotional product/screen print/embroidery biz. most of that stuff is controlled by software any more so it is a natural for us.
i am interested in some get-togethers so i will keep an eye out around here if anything pops up that we can come to. ^

I've been lurking here for a few years, but now that I've met some fellow FTers I've decided to be a bit more social.
Name: Chris

Location: TUL, but Boston will always be home!
Hobbies: Skiing, Scuba Diving, and I guess I like to travel a bit
I fly AA primarily, and stay in SPG hotels if I can help it. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Self-introduction
I predict this thread will plummet to the "least-discussed" page, but I kind of thought there'd already be one for new people. Didn't see it, so apologies in advance if it exists.
For starters, I don't want anyone to get started because of my ID. I have exactly ONE flight on AF. I was expecting some kind of surly behavior due to the mythical French stereotype. I was really shocked at how well everything was done. And those air hostesses, my GOD! Everyone of them looked like a slumming Paris model!!!! I was in a hormonal buzz all the way from JFK to CDG. No flight I ever took has come even close when it comes to staff attractiveness. There were a couple of guys on the crew and I was thinking "This must be a nice job for them. I wonder if there are anti-fraternization rules".
Anyway, I'm not really saying AF is superior, just reflecting my experience on that flight from JFK to CDG. Actually from CDG to SOF was pretty good, too, except for the fact my wife tangled with French security and spent all night in the terminal. But aw what the heck. She's told that story innumerable times and now is a confident traveler, so I don't even consider that a bad thing. The very next year she flew AF to SOF with no trouble at all, so no harm no foul.
Anyway, I just had to become a member here because the repartee beats anything I've seen anywhere online. Actual FUNNY jokes, not just bitter asides. You people are genuinely funny!
