Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

It's common practice for the outbid notices to only refer to the one other highest curent bidder, your minimum bid could still be accepted if there is more than one seat available

I chucked in on a minimum $55 bid for CBR-BNE. Got the outbid email. I'm not going to bid higher, I'm not that fussed as I have lounge access so can get a bite to eat there. Will see what happens. Flight is on Saturday.

I did not get in J, was a full section though so lucky to those that got in.

Why would you bother for a 1 hour flight. Surely you could have survived in YX?

My wife recently flew CBR-OOL in Y and got the offer for $100. I advised her not to take it. How could it be worthwhilw in those J "cabins" that are open for the world to view and smirk? It's enough to make J pax cringe, Shame on Bain (but they have no shame, just a profit at all costs motivation).

Bid and got 2 x ADL-SYD this evening for $50 each.

On a cheap Lite fare.

In the days when Status credits actually meant something, I'd have likely bought Biz fares. I do not care one iota any more.

Planes both ways were the nasty non divider, with no cheap TEMU Shower Curtains fitted.

Only Virgin could take 2 years to fit those simple things. Several folks strolled up to use the loos.

Arrived in Sydney at 6.50pm and went into lounge to have a real coffee, and send an urgent email, and it was CLOSED. One of the Lounge matrons came to door and opened it, and told me this.

Bain Nickel and diming to the extreme. I walked past a departure lounge for a flight to Perth at about 8pm as I recall, so no idea where those Elites and biz pax were spending that hour.

You cannot make this stuff up.
