I'm still waiting on points & credits for a similar situation - economy ticket upgraded to business (HKG-AUH) with cash bid. I did a 'claim missing points' entry on the virgin website - but still has not come through. When I logged in to velocity today to check the status I saw this notice...

Not sure about the DPS route... but this is what I did... 1. Tried to book on Etihad site, could only find J fare at around 39,000,000idr. I Could not get my route/dates on the sale fare at all. 2. Went to google flights, found exact same flights, and clicked through the Etihad link from...

FYI... for anyone needing Virgin gold status -- I believe this flight alone (CGK-DUB in J) nets 480 status credits. Thats $5 per credit.

Yep, tried both Indonesian and Australian sites. Thanks for the tip MikaD. Turns out it was my visa being a bit too security conscious! Just used my wifes card, and it went straight through. Got CGK-DUB return in J for $2401 - and its even outside the 2 month condition on the sale fares...

First in Chooms... all yours! I'll send u a message.

I have 2 Qantas Club passes available free to a good home.... I have no use for them before they expire, so I figured someone out there could enjoy them. I will try post them out today if someone needs them quickly.. Please only respond if you have a good use for them before they expire...

That sounds promising! Next step is to resarch the best seats for me and swmbo... This is to be a bit of a surprise if i can get it all worked out. First time on long haul business :-)

Thanks iambents, good to know that it can be done! I figured it would be pretty pointless if you could not upgrade auh-syd as part of a longer ticket... Most fares transit through auh and on to europe i woulld think. I think i will make the booking through the call centre and confirm the...

Hi, first post here so be gentle! And sorry to bring up an older thread, but this looked like the best place to ask in line with the topic... So, I am looking at booking a one-way from Dublin to SYD for mid next year, and upgrading to J. I know i can only upgrade using points on VA metal (I am...
