    Points needed for flight increased?

    Yes that’s right, just taxes/charges were wrong.

    Points needed for flight increased?

    It seems to be an error on Virgin site, just booked it through Platinum Call Centre and got the flight for 16K points as it should be. The operator is registering a fault with the site

    Points needed for flight increased?

    I was looking at 23/3 but then randomly looked at a variety of dates out to October - all the same

    Points needed for flight increased?

    Yes, I will give them a ring, wonder if they are grabbing up other “fees” to boost their points/flt

    Points needed for flight increased?

    Looking at doing a reward flight and it seems the points needed have dramatically increased. In this case I’m looking for a flight from Melbourne to Brisbane one way. The minimum number of points required as per the Virgin website is 11,800+$21.47 in taxes. However for the times I’m looking...

    Cathay Pacific / Virgin Relationship

    Thanks for the replies. Seems like there is nothing definite, the flight attendant I was talking to was quite certain about it & I questioned him because it would perfect for me. I know that SQ fly to HKG but it is via Singapore so the BNE/SIN/HKG gets in at something like 10pm whereas the CX...

    Cathay Pacific / Virgin Relationship

    Travelling from PER to BNE yesterday and was chatting with a flight attendant about various things. I said I was going BNE/HKG via Cathay later this year because Virgin Atlantic had stopped flying SYD/HKG earlier in the year. He replied that that would be fine since Virgin now have (or shortly...

    I have had enough.... [Offloaded after Flight not called in VA lounge]

    You got a rough deal, clearly the board was not updated correctly and they didn't page you which is poor,given they check you in when you enter the lounge. However: Complimentary food and drinks, papers, charging station, place to work, clean toilets, etc.

    I have had enough.... [Offloaded after Flight not called in VA lounge]

    Well said and I quite agree with you, but the poster said he was at the Service Desk not in the lounge. He could have asked in there before heading down. Totally agree that they have let him down, I just don't think it is a reason to leave an airline, write a letter, get some travel $$ and move on.

    I have had enough.... [Offloaded after Flight not called in VA lounge]

    So I'm taking it everyone else got on the plane except for you? I think you need to consider that you are the problem in this case. I get that you are annoyed, exactly the same thing happened to me flying QF some years back, I was furious, however after calming down I figured I needed to take...

    Lug Loc Luggage Locator Review

    Shame just bought one! If I have cause to activate it, I will report. I might call them up anyway and ask if they will track it for me once even though not lost so I can report back to you, I would be interested to see how it works.

    15% bonus on credit card points transfers

    Sure but I have no need to buy flights personally so spending points rather than cash works for me.

    Lug Loc Luggage Locator Review

    I think this is a terrific idea so have ordered one today after confirming with the AFF shop I will have it by the end of the week (I leave on Sat for a three week trip). Hopefully I won't need it but if my bag is lost it will likely ease the pain.
