    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    I've joined up Fluffy and Fido into Velocity, and have got their family pooling all in place to me as they are under 10 years old, so it works well. I just hope the pet dining choices in the Lounges will be extensive ..... not just Puppycinos. Those little sachets of Dine do not smell too...

    2024 - Thank you for your loyalty Extension

    Mine too and my review date was March 13, and I've been requalifed for ages. HOPEFULLY a sane common expiry date for Status is being quietly worked on, and slowly rolled out like all American airline and hotel plans have had for many decades. What you fly/stay in Calendar 2023 is all that...

    2024 - Thank you for your loyalty Extension

    895 SC and more than 8 segment means you easily requalifed with no special offer.

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    Oddly, Janey made no mention of this sort of reality in her smirky PR spin on the TV news here - 'Last week, a chihuahua traveling on a United flight relieved herself while on a passenger’s lap, soiling the seat and the armrests and causing a stink. According to passenger interviews, the dog’s...

    Virgin Australian "Trade Sale" - who would be best?

    Of course they are ONLY about profit. We all realise that. They are rapacious Vikings with American accents. They have more than their initial outlay back in the bank as we know. In a fire sale even now they'll be a ton ahead of a 30% return. But with key Union fights ahead, pay demands...

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    Well, I expect my dogs and cats are all counted as my Platinum guest allowance into the Lounges. Clearly no-one has given any thought to such basic realities. There is no way anything bigger than a hamster will fit in a cage under any Virgin seat. And shoving the cage thru the security...

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    Can you share your research with us please? Until then, I'd suggest it is more like 85% do NOT want them on a plane. I have always owned cats and dogs, and love them all, and despite travelling many millions of miles have never taken one into a cabin. Virgin will charge what - $50 an animal...

    Jayne Hrdlicka to resign as CEO

    Virgin owes Bain zero, and that has been the case for a while now. They have all their outlay back already, in cash, plus some. Whatever they get is all total gravy now. If they see Pilot strikes ahead etc, and other industrial unrest, and the need to pump in mega bucks of THEIR money to...

    Virgin Australian "Trade Sale" - who would be best?

    They were in front about a year back. i. e. they have more than their TOTAL investment back already. In real money in the bank. All just gravy from now on.

    Virgin Australian "Trade Sale" - who would be best?

    Remember VA owes Bain precisely zero at this point, as I recall. WHATEVER they get is all gravy.

    Failed beg for platinum status consideration

    I've used it 100 times - the only way to sort issues IME. If every Ma and Pa Kettle start using it for all sorts of lame routine queries, they'll just cancel the system in this age of Virgin cutting everything possible. Seen that before. They get swamped with nonsense queries. If you cannot...

    Failed beg for platinum status consideration

    I'd be emailing the platinum email BEFORE you expire. The Drones offshore read off script sheets generally And I strongly disagree that elite contact emails should be publicity posted, hopefully Mods can disguise it or remove it. Anyone entitled to access it can readily get it.
