    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Oops, missed the sectors focus there. If it's just sectors may as well do BNE to whatever's cheapest on the day - PPP, MKY, NTL...

    SYD-CBR leg will be in Y only (courtesy of Link).

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    This. Out of BNE it's generally going to be BNE-MEL-HBA that gets you most bang for buck, as the BNE-MEL leg is in Level 2 for SC's, whereas both BNE-SYD & SYD-HBA are both Level 1. BNE-SYD/MEL-ADL can also be reasonable as well.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    SYD-MEL-HBA and return in J is coming up at $1434 same day return for 220SC. Add in a discount code and you'll knock some off that fare, then it's just a pair of Choice fares at a time and destination if your choosing to get the 250. There's also SYD-BNE-CNS for $1453 return in J that would...

    When do SQ miles post to VA?

    In my experience (November 2023) they'd posted within 24 hours of landing. YMMV. Did your boarding passes have your VA number on them?

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    As someone who owns two cats (and would love a dog), I currently don't travel with either of them because I don't want to put them in the hold. Having said that, if I was to have them in the cabin with me - similar to most parents with babies - I'd be extremely self-conscious of making sure that...

    AFF Gathering #17 in BNE on 18 - 20 October 2024

    Most of the last month, certainly. Prior to early January it just seemed like a normal Brisbane summer - warm and humid. Admittedly, the advice I got when I moved here has kept me in good stead - live east of Logan Rd ...and the further, the better :cool:

    Another question about Family Pooling ....

    Your wife will attain Gold either on the day or day after she passes the required number of SC's, and then she'll have 12 months from that date to obtain another 400SC to retain.

    Earning Velocity points on UA flight with Milageplus upgrade mixed in

    Slightly off the original topic, but (if you don't mind me asking) how many Mileageplus points is the Polaris upgrade asking for, and what fare type are you upgrading from??

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    General VA Lounge Discussion (2021 onwards)

    That's how it was on Saturday morning. Back of house refurbished affecting ability to wash plates/cutlery. Unfortunately the paper plates are cake size...and not Mr Hawk cake size either 😑😑

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    In the BNE lounge for the next hour or so. VERY quiet...as very little going out until 830 onwards. Bacon and scrambled eggs on the menu this morning... so I guess that means bacon on my pancakes! Also a couple of signs up asking for understanding "as we temporarily transition to disposable...

    Latest VA member survey to plan future "enhancements"

    Disappointed, definitely. Surprised, definitely not. Someone's obviously thrown it up as a potential income earner without considering the potential backlash.

    Latest VA member survey to plan future "enhancements"

    Another survey out to members today: "Today, we're interested to hear your thoughts and opinions on cancellation flexibility for airline tickets." Basically, are you happy to pay an amount for an add-on to a Lite or Choice fare to allow for 80% of the airfare to be refunded if you choose to...
