    Virgin Australia Pick Your Bonus Promo - Double Points or Status Credits - Ends 13 June 2025

    I was looking at this ...however it just seems to be VA metal and VA aircraft.....so not even viable on VA flight number and different metal. Struggling to see just where to go on this for decent Status Credits....even if double without costing a fortune ex PER.

    General Virgin Australia Lounge Discussion

    Probably some.people should not be allowed in lounges or indeed on board aeroplanes the way they treat furniture. Even when the tables get cleaned when sitting at them I notice with disappointed that no one seems to say a simple "thankyou" all being to Interested in their own self importance...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Assuming it's a SQ booked ticket and flown after Oct 25 i think it's 80 between MEL and SIN and 95 between SIN and FRA giving a total for the two one way legs in premium economy as 175..a bit more perhaps if flown before 30 sept. . 😕Happy to corrected.

    Use velocity points for on board purchases!

    Sounds convoluted...and destined for issues! Don't think I for one will be linking anything.

    Virgin Australia and Air NZ form new partnership

    I'm just wondering why this will probably not work on paid biz ticket when flying ANZ biz on VA booking!! So frustrating...and biz cabin ex Perth looks like 2-2-2?

    Use velocity points for on board purchases!

    Is this being discussed elsewhere? This is the VA new approach for on board purchases payment option. Not sure everything is being included and not so sure it will be value for the hard earned points? Received e mail saying this is coming by linking VA Credit card.

    Virgin Australia and Air NZ form new partnership

    Interestingly I see that QF are commencing Perth to Auckland. When I'm comparing biz prices at the moment for next year it's around 400 dollars cheaper to fly with QF!!! Wonder if that will change...

    Article: The Car Rental Industry is Ripe for Reform

    With regard to car rental, times have changed. When I was young and certainly under 25 living in the UK we used to as boys, hire cars a lot. They would even be taken overseas to France and Belgium. On pick up they were clean and always new. They were not rubbish cars usually good solid machines...

    Virgin 737-8 Max Business Class - No Divider

    I use expert flyer for showing "available" seats quite a bit while looking for upgrade bids..often on PER routes at least up to 24 hours before departure I would say upgrade available seats are between 50 and 75 percent for biz cabin assuming expert flyer is correct

    Virgin 737-8 Max Business Class - No Divider

    Maybe it's because we see upgrade spend figures, then we see constant devaluation in experience,higher costs to pax then we see what comes out as the solution. Let's be honest, it does look somewhat laughable. But hey I'm sure VA know what they are doing ...🤭

    Finnair’s Business Class AirLounge seat

    That, sadly, is what they always say. Either get it or take it away from the menu. They have been saying that for years!! 🙄

    4,000 bonus Velocity Points to selected VA international destinations (book by 28/5/25)

    Shame it's not status credits ...booked Fiji before the "devaluation" so sticking with my status credits to be gained by that booking!

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    Not heard of that. Might give them a call and see what they say when I have a minute...or three!

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    Likewise...drop to Silver. Doubt I'll use it again. It's a shame that getting back to Platinum with VA carries no other benefits after the first time with regard to hotels. Ill still stick with Accor.

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    I should imagine separate bookings as you suggest would be very very expensive? QR directly for booking option of course but not really getting the same mileage and SC. Don't know why one can't book on VA the full flight. Limited choices only? How about to London or Paris then a separate booking...
