    30% of Velocity reward seats in Economy [Book by 20/10/20, travel by 8/9/21]

    I'm guessing it's just on VA metal not partner airlines. The T&C's state that this promo is valid "across our Australian domestic network." It also specifically excludes flights to Christmas Island & Cocos Island, although that's only useful for WA right now.

    30% of Velocity reward seats in Economy [Book by 20/10/20, travel by 8/9/21]

    Hmmm, I'm very tempted to book something around Christmas with this now, assuming economy award space is available. With expensive Christmas fares this is probably a fairly good use of points anyway. Question is, back to Adelaide or stay in Queensland somewhere?

    ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure Card

    My experience was the same as the above. I called up ANZ and asked for my annual fee to be reviewed prior to transitioning to another ANZ card. The person on the phone was very helpful and essentially said they would refund the $170 part of the travel rewards annual fee no questions asked...

    ANZ Rewards Travel Adventure Card

    My experience is similar, I've only ever got ANZ points mall to work once for me and that was after submitting two missing points claims. Never had any issues with Velocity E-store or Cashrewards. I'm also in the same boat as many here. Haven't used my "free" flight yet this year and my...

    30% off Velocity Business Reward seats & upgrades [extended until 11/01/21]

    If normal catering and service were to be resumed in J, I would be a lot more tempted by this. Until then I don't see 737 J as being worth it (for me at least) even with this 30% discount. This has brought back memories of my first VA A330 J flight to Perth, only about 25,000 points thanks to...

    Velocity 20% transfer bonus (7-20 September 2020)

    Semi-rhetorical question, but thank you for the suggestions :cool: Totally forgot you could transfer ANZ points to KrisFlyer. I have a huge stack of KrisFlyer miles now after cancelling a 2 x Suites award flights for later this year, so I think I need to re-think my whole points strategy.

    Velocity 20% transfer bonus (7-20 September 2020)

    Good to see some resemblance of normality from Virign, just a shame that ANZ and the other banks aren't included. I hope all the old transfer partners return soon now that the sale is locked in. Question is, do I spend my ANZ points on Coles gift cards now or save them and transfer later for a...

    Escape - travelling with Covid.

    Thanks for your fascinating trip report - very timely for me as I'm considering a FNQ trip later in the year. Interesting thoughts regarding SA immigration. I went through the same process nearly two weeks ago entering SA as a Qlder, and thought it was much more organised then entering Qld in...

    Kangaroo Island, SA

    I don't have any insight for Kangaroo Island sadly, but I am visiting Adelaide (and surrounding wine regions) over this coming weekend (Thurs-Tues) for a mini-holiday, coming from Queensland as well. A friend flew into Adelaide from QLD two days ago and was waved through, so it seems the...

    RTW to no-where in particular

    Thank you for the very detailed trip report, timely as I might be going to NY towards the end of the year (assuming the world is still here by then). Malta has been added to the list as well now!

    Virgin Australia launches 'coronavirus status extension' plan

    My anniversary date is in a few days and I've already re-qualified for Gold thanks to travel in January and February, so the status extension does nothing for me. The bonus SCs for the next three months do wonders however, as they will all go towards re-qualification for 2021. I'm very happy...

    Virgin Platinum seat selection on Etihad

    Wow Etihad have really out-done themselves! 😅 Only thing better would have been a middle seat in the last row.

    The view from my "office"

    Great Sunday morning at Point Lookout (North Straddie) with perfect body surfing conditions. Could have stayed in the water for hours 🌊

    Virgin Lounge Food

    Welcome! They are typically hidden away in one of the beer fridges and easily missed. You've got three flavours to try as well!

    Virgin Lounge Food

    Koyomi Highball / Shochu has been available in the BNE, SYD and MEL lounges for a few months now if you wanted to try something a little different. Only 0.8 standard drinks per can but still very enjoyable IMO.
