    Can I use/transfer Velocity points into Skymiles for Delta US domestic upgrade?

    I have some recent experience requesting for Comfort+ upgrades from Delta as VA Gold. First was on a LAX->NYC leg. I called Delta 24hrs before and they had absolutely no idea about Velocity and said there was nothing they could do and I should call Virgin Australia. I then called VA and they...

    VA & BP big announcment?

    Agree with mrsmart - this is a great question. Discounted fuel that at the very least matches Caltex+Woolies Rewards prices would be the clincher!

    VA cuts Brisbane Premium Entry opening hours

    Re: VA wishlist. Time for..... I haven't yet travelled to Brisbane since they launched premium entry but I also agree that getting through security at Brisbane is pretty efficient and 9 times out of 10 there is no line at security. I think however, that is not the point. Breezing through...

    Velocity Platinum Card Free Flight Question?

    Hey scottz95, Unfortunately not. I can confirm that those free flights on that card don't earn status credits or points.

    Good to see but launching an iOS app only in a market that is increasingly being dominated by Android. Just Wow.

    Signature points now capped at $20K per "Statement", 1½ PP$ International

    Just got my "notice" in the mail from Citibank about all the changes. I'm a Signature annual fee paying customer who very much valued the 4 points on international transactions. The $20K limit doesn't impact me but I don't like the reduced 1:0.5 Velocity transfer rate. Which card are...

    VA wishlist. Time for.....

    I agree that VA have stopped innovating which is interesting because its actually a business that prides itself on innovation with internal staff programs and incentives etc. I think their biggest problem BY FAR is their web technology. The website (VA but particularly VFF) is beyond a joke and...

    Disgusting State of Perth Virgin Lounge

    Have to agree with most of the discussions here. I visited the Perth lounge for the first time yesterday after having visited Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane many times in the past. The Perth lounge did not feel anything near the standard of quality of the East coast lounges. There were a couple...
