Yes, I'd definitely go Virgin America over Delta- I keep booking Delta when they look convenient (for times/pricing) but each time I fly the experience is not good!

I was quite short of making my Silver requal, but have been earning a huge stack of points with partners- luckily they decided to keep me on Silver for the year, very happy!

I am concerned that I may be in the same boat as Simongr- did you have to wait until the end of the 6 week posting period to get this sorted? I initially asked my agent for a quote before I got the double SC email. I had not paid/booked, yet though. After getting the double SC email, I...

I have booked the cheapest category avaialble, and both I and my travelling companion earned Velocity points. I am not sure of the fare category, but generally I've been able to book the flight times/dates I wanted... even travelling over Easter Weekend.

I was booked on a paid fare for travel in Y, so I would have expected to receive Y points/SC's. I didn't receive any confirmation of any sort about an upgrade (by SMS, or logging in to my booking online). At the airport the girl processing my check in was having technical difficulties, but...

Oh boo. They said "oops we made an error... we'll deduct those points right away" When I said "really, two months later?" they said their reports are behind and they are calling people as they deduct points. Boooo!

I recently applied for an upgrade using points on a flight from SIN to SYD and did not receive any notification, but at the airport had been upgraded to Y+. When the flight appeared on my activity report it ONLY showed Premium Economy SIN to SYD... and 0 0 0 for all values. I don't want to...

Has it happened to anyone who was further short of the 'line' but had some trips booked? I am hugely short of making my requal at the end of May but am looking at 2 international trips in June/July/Aug that will earn me enough to requalify (but maybe not enough to 'qualify'). Is it worth...

That trip was in October 2010 - so yes, hopefully they are working on improving things. For future bookings I will still try for Virgin America when possible, though!

On a separate trip from the one above, I flew VA Syd-Lax then onwards to the east coast on Delta codeshare - it was terrible, I do not recommend it. (This was in regular economy). Delta would not let us pre-select seats for the Delta flight and so my partner and I were seated at opposite...

Hi Peter, Thanks for sharing your experience-- sounds like the process is a bit of a pain, but could be worth it if you get the deals you are after. If you don't mind sharing, what was the successful itinerary, and what is the one you weren't able to get? Cheers, K

I flew PE on V Aus from Sydney to Boston last year. The Virgin America fare was for the economy cabin, but it was one of their "Main Cabin Select" tickets, which is exit row, and you get priority boarding/dedicated hand luggage space. I found this out in advance by putting my reservation...

I notice that Virgin Money has now updated their offer on the Virgin Flyer Card for new applicants- 20k bonus points with your first spend (does not need to be 5,000 dollar spend within the first three months anymore). For those of you who rang up the call centre to check availability, were...

Thanks Mark, this is helpful. It looks like now it will not be possible to check online whether the eligible fare category is available - this might make booking for the 2 for 1's (more of) a headache!

Hi Everyone, I've read this board a lot when planning trips but this is my first time posting. I've read through the Credit Card threads but haven't found any info about this- apologies if I've missed something. I am wondering any of the Virgin Money CC holders with the "2 for 1" offer have...
