Actually my F100 flight on 20th December to PER-ADL had newer Virgin coloured seating with the raisable headrests - which was a nice surprise :). For an economy flight I actually thought the F100 was pretty great!

Fairly often unfortunately. I had my upcoming Easter PER-MEL flight swapped out for a 737 too recently. Yes! The A330 is a far far superior business experience! I'd keep an eye out for any more swaps, and keep changing your booking if there is A330 business award availability - after all...

Is this on more days than I discovered back in my post? It would be interesting if they've updated the schedules again.

Looking this evening, I noticed the schedule must have been updated (My PER-MEL flight in April was downgraded this morning to a 737 😫 ). Perth From April there are now 2 A330 flights each way PER-BNE and BNE-PER per week. PER-BNE (from 17th April, as of now typically ~9 Z seats available on...

Yep :). I actually asked this question when phoning Virgin Australia whilst Gold (I wanted to secure my seat selection, as the Platinum would only kick in a couple of days before my flight) - they told me it could be refunded if I phoned up and requested it when I became Platinum. Sure enough I...

Oh yes sorry, I didn't mean a capacity loss of an aircraft on the domestic routes, just was wondering if the routes might change to involve more BNE domestically (and how that might impact PER-SYD/MEL). I might have a look over the weekend and see if I notice any pattern changes.

I wonder if this results in any changes of the A330 on the domestic transcon routes, or if one A330 will pretty much just be stationed at BNE? There's not that much time there in Brisbane, but I guess an arriving domestic aircraft could take on the following international leg. Before the times...

Previously it's shown the same as the standard status credit, just with the value doubled (rather than crediting as a separate line item in your account).

I haven't had any luck with any of the promo codes listed on the website for Freedom fares PER-HBA (via MEL or SYD) for March next year. Was hoping to use my platinum upgrades on the A330 for the first leg (hence the freedom fare requirement).

Just received an email promoting the "Velocity Wine Store". Another Laithwaites reskin site offering the same 2ppd earn rate as the existing Laithwaites Virgin Wines site... The main point of difference I can see is that it's possible to redeem points for wine. But why they couldn't have just...

You'll have to book direct with SQ for any upgrade options using Krisflyer miles (can't upgrade using velocity points directly, and can't upgrade at all from a codeshare). After upgrading you could probably then swap the FF number on the booking to VA to earn the status credits/points prior to...

I'm tempted to move to the flight earlier in the day which is on an F100 (at least they have decent legroom). But the evening 737 flight (which might have been an A320 previously) gets in too late for my plans, so I might just have to accept the A320. If I changed to a 737 flight I'd expect for...

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on the best seats for a PER-ADL A320 flight? Maybe the exit row (row 11)? My December flight has just been swapped to an A320, and I had deliberately chosen the only 737 flight that day so I could choose an Economy X seat. I had also placed an UpgradeMe...

... This is the warning/notice? 3 months.

I *think* the wifi symbol was used for the WiFi streaming entertainment on the 737s? Does it show for the F100s they've installed streaming entertainment on? But I could be wrong. I guess wifi/entertainment and wifi/internet access are not necessarily the same thing/product.

-XFD didn't have wifi/internet as of last Monday. Can confirm -XFG does.

Cancelled my Platinum Edge card yesterday. No incentives were offered for retention/reinstatement.

Sounds like a stressful experience and not well handled by VA but I doubt it was due to sales overbooking - Sydney has been a disaster for the last four days due to strong winds with nearly everything delayed and loads of cancellations (single runway operations). I'm guessing it was done to try...
