It's a bit annoying that they don't always show the other frequent flyer options. I discovered a strange work-around where I first had to add Krisflyer numbers to the passengers (even though no status), then in each person's krisflyer account profile, I had to add the related card under...

I was in the Perth lounge on 24th June for a 18:00 flight to Melbourne (delayed until 18:40), and it was the last of the batch of flights departing around that time until the ~23:00 batch. The lounge staff were putting things away and setting up breakfast items (e.g. cereal, juice) which I...

Unfortunately not on the transcon, more like 2.5x the price of Flex.

VA posted some marketing photos of the new food items in a Facebook post.

That looks awful! I don't suppose you know if there are priority security queues for status/business class passengers? I'm guessing not!

I imagine you should have lounge access in both Melbourne and Abu Dhabi: https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/flying-status/flying-with-status/platinum-membership#20 https://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en/travel-info/at-the-airport/lounge/international/#etihad

PER-BNE 22nd April Quiche - was a bit average unfortunately (like my photography skills!) Cheese & crackers were handed out in the second half of the flight.

I was mostly hoping for seat selection on the KLM website after adding my QFF details. The KLM website is obviously set up to allow the QFF details to be added (it's shown as a choice in the "Loyalty" details of the passenger information), but it's buggy/doesn't save.

Yep - same here, attempting to add QFF numbers shows "Successfully updated!", but retrieving the booking again shows no frequent flyer details associated with the passenger. :mad:

Thanks for the tip, but I haven't changed the name. I had to tweak the phone number (it was adding an additional (second) 61 to the front and then complains it's not a valid Australian number). I'll try phoning tomorrow.

It would be easier, although in this case the value of the flights is more like ~$450 (PER-MEL return choice fares)

Having problems with the compflight site again yesterday/today. Can go through and select flights, but get a generic "Unable to process booking" message at the final step. Anyone else used this with success recently?

I always thought a good use of them in WA might be to Christmas/Cocos Islands where there is only economy anyway, and prices tend to be quite high.

Just received an email with this offer:

Hot breakfast options in Perth on Friday were a ham and egg croissant, or a waffle with maple syrup.

Same here :(

Does anyone know if to board a VTL flight and transit in SIN, you need to have only been in VTL approved countries in the previous 14 days? I can see from the government guidelines, there is no requirement for travel history - just proof of vaccination and possibly also a covid test to board...

True, I was thinking more when people might go on a longer trip and travel around Europe rather than getting there and back from Australia. Same as Alitalia and Air Berlin didn't really have connections with VA flights.
