Tried that. When I go to my benefits I just have: Virgin Australia Lounge Membership YES And the Hertz / Hilton Honors memberships Nothing about passes... :| I'll give Velocity a call

Hi, I got 2x Virgin Australia lounge passes with my Virgin High Flyer CC I am already Virgin Gold but I can't see where you see the lounge passes since they redesigned the website? or don't I get them as I'm already gold? I am flying with 2 people soon and was hoping I could let one in with...

Yeah I will definitely book it like JFK > LAX > SYD (all QF108) > MEL next time That way I don't have to stress about the change of planes... even though it is an extra flight to get home its a lot less stressful if JFK is busy. The 747's have the A380 seats and entertainment screens now so...

Hi, I was on QF108 last Wednesday (JFK to LAX leg) and the we sat on the plane at the gate for at least 45 minutes due to bad weather / backlog of aircraft I had a connection at LAX for QF94 to Melbourne and it started to look like I was going to arrive at LAX after it's scheduled departure...

Hi, Just went to choose some seats for an upcoming USA trip and Qantas now charge $20 per seat per flight to choose your seats! Annoying I'm travelling with someone else - I hope they at least seat as together when we check in!!

Hi, I can't find any info on the Velocity website If I redeem my points for a flight - do I earn points/status credits on it if its a any seat reward like Qantas?

I know its the wrong area but does anyone know if its the same with VELOCITY? Reward = no points/status Any seat = awards/status ?

Thanks for the fast reply! And I'm guessing ANY SEAT is normally twice the points (for example) than classic reward?

Hi, Just some newbie questions I can't find on the Qantas website (easily) 1) If I redeem my points for a flight - do I earn points/status credits on it? 2) If I redeem my points to upgrade a class (Economy to Business for example) do I earn points at the original rate or upgraded rate? Thanks!

Yeah the redemption value is about the same... Virgin may me a 'little' better from memory... but within 20% For domestic @ work we fly Qantas or Virgin (whatever is cheapest) and always the cheapest fare (except we go Blue Saver on Virgin - not GO!) For international we get to choose the...

I flew to USA 4 times last year 3 times on V Australia Once on Qantas For the MEL > LAX leg on V Australia I got 1983 points For the MEL > LAX leg on Qantas I got 7923 points The cost of the fares was about the same... $1100ish I've got another 3 trips lined up this year and...

What are people gonna do with their 20,000 points? Transfer to a a FF? I will probably transfer to Velocity when they have their next 25% bonus points promotion

Sure did I gave him a dollar with every beer and then before the flight I wanted some bottles of water.. and he gave me 3... for free :) Worked out nicely Wish I flew QF instead of VA to USA in April and June.... I would be QFF silver for sure :(

Hi guys, Well I asked nicely at checkin at T4 and got given a day pass! It was awesome They also gave me 6 free drink cards and I could use them on any beer! Mmm stella Killed the time fast! Also... the QF16 flight was one of the best I've had to/from the USA. Not one bit of...

Thanks for the replies guys! Yep all on 1 booking :) Yes I'm part of the a380 drama... was on QF94 but got changed to QF16 due to it being 100 people overbooked with the aircraft change. Grrr. Extra 2 hours til I get home now. If anyone is willing to guest me on Friday night (17/11)...
