The extra $10 was seemingly coming from nowhere. I don't have ExpertFlyer so I couldn't confirm it myself but I called the Platinum desk and they couldn't see any $135 fares on that flight, just $145 fares, and two $145 fares would indeed give you a total of $290.
The website was appalling on...
So I emailed some screenshots and was emailed this morning with the usual 'go away' proforma, telling me that everything was functioning perfectly because the fares on the website are exclusive of taxes and surcharges and the total price is only shown on the final page :(
A new one (for me at least): booking a $145 fare BNE-MEL and a $135 fare MEL-BNE and down the bottom right corner, the total fare is... $290.

Flew 8/6, which posted today but still waiting on flights from 7/6 and 12/6. All VA domestic sectors booked on the VA website. Online retro claim says 'the points have already posted' for one and 'error' for the other. What a mess!
Review: Los Angeles International Lounge LAX Airport - One Mile at a Time
The Los Angeles International Lounge looks new and neat but there are no showers and the food looks pretty average.
Having said that, it's only for morning flights so I think the strategy should be to have a big...
Property: HSW
Status: Gold
Booked: Relaxation suite
Received: Relaxation suite
Stay: 3 nights in May
I've only stayed a few times but what I've found each stay is that once you venture below the 4th floor, the service takes a turn for the decidedly average.
On check in was told to step...
Yes those non-Velocity partners have always been there as long as I've been flying and flicking through the magazine (not sure why but I always enjoy a good network map!)
Of course the VA website is hopeless but if you look at Kayak or Google Flights, you'll see single tickets with a VA flight...
Called NAB to 'discuss my options given the upcoming changes to points earn and the possibility of waiving the annual fee' and told there are no upcoming changes
