Virgin OLCi

Hi, just went to OLCI a NZ codeshare from AKL to MEL and can't do it! Does anyone have any idea if / when VA will update their site so we can OLCI?

cheers

I cannot think of one carrier that will allow you to checkin on a codeshare they are not operating, as a rule you need to checkin with the operating carrier although that may vary with the type of codeshare they have.

Thanks Markis, I tried that but the VA site said I can't OLCI an international flight. Is this a work in progress, more than usual?
cheers

You have to check in in person, if its anythng to do with VA int.
Thats what it says on all things to do with that airline.
Flying NZ (AirNZ), you can do OLCI.
EDIT: pain in a certain place, not being to do OLCI with VA int though.
Seeing the snake is a scary experience, (not real snake-but the snake at check in, in person at an airport)!

Ok thanks, VA must be just about the last that doesn't have OLCI!

Not really, try adding JQ and LAN to that across the ditch

Naah, I've learnt to wave a status card at it - it disappears pretty quickly. Or, rather, I do - thru priority check-in!
