Oh that's interesting - and definitely strange given that you can (to my knowledge) buy water airside in Aus International airports and take it on. Thanks for the heads up. 1701825926 So guessing it's not just a separate ticket issue. Thanks for the info.

Ok, so to answer my original question, the posters here were absolutely correct - TG are not able to check bags through to a VA flight on separate tickets. The lovely TG check in agent at BKK did try to see if she could do it, but alas it was not to be. Lesson learnt. As an aside, if I had the...

Brilliant. Thank you for the info (& apologies for late response). I’ll check it out. 😊

No worries. I think I’m clutching at straws, but (if the bags are checked through to MEL) will see if we can check in at the transit desk and stay airside rather than clear immigration & hang around waiting to check in again at the 3 hour prior mark. It’s probably a stretch, but you never know...

Thank you for confirming 🙏. Out of curiosity, did you happen to notice a VA manned service desk airside (other than gate staff)? I’d assume not, but you never know … 😊

Looking at FlyerTalk, as we’re departing from BKK, it appears there may be a small chance of having the bags checked right through to MEL. No guarantees, but will see how we go. Can’t remember if you can check in online for a VA international flight, but if we can do that, then may not need to...

Thank you 🙏. I’ll have a look at the TG interline policy to see what that says. Understand re VA transit desk. I think there’s a flight leaving to another Aus destination around an hour after we land, so might be able to get some assistance. I don’t like our chances, but I guess if you don’t try...

This is a bit left field, but wondering if anyone here has had any experience with the following and can provide guidance. Flying Thai Air (BKK-DPS) next month and then (same day) flying Virgin Australia (DPS-MEL). Both flights booked separately. I know that TG & VA are not partner airlines...

Edit - I stand corrected. Pre-Covid, seat selection on a Flex fare was included on SQ flights booked via VA. It appears this has been removed for all fare classes on international flights flying SQ. Thanks Bagpuss for the info. I wasn’t aware of the change. Very disappointing and a huge factor...

Missed it by one day and on different alliance :( Transiting through SIN on SQ on 10 June. Enjoy all. Maybe next year. :)

Thank you oz_mark. Appreciate the confirmation. Cheers Suz

Question for the AFF gurus. Think I know the answer but just double checking, If you have a VA Business Flyer account does the employee earn both SC’s (at the usual mileage rate) and FF points for flights purchased by the business provided they have a Velocity FF number? I think they do, but...

Is SQ using the VA domestic lounge in ADL pre departure on SQ flights from ADL? Know they 'permanently closed' their lounge in 2020, but have or are they proposing to reopen another SQ lounge (post immigration clearance) or will we need to ensure we leave ample time to clear immigration if...

Whew, thought it was just me. A few days ago looked up flights from ADL-CNS for mid July. A number of flights showing but thought I'd hold off until confirmation of border opening in Qld. Just had a look and absolutely nothing for the month of July now. Appears to have been taken offline -...

You're correct Mexpirate. Just looked and it now shows 'Agent Offline'. Think I must have been lucky yesterday. Edit, just checked again, and now showing that I can chat with an Agent. Maybe try again and keep looking. Good luck. PS I'm using an IPhone.
