    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    Is the sale Thursday every week not a bit of gimmick? I really don't see any difference in the cost whatever day of the week I look for some routes that I am mildly interested in and it always seems to be more beneficial if on lite fares. For choice fares I see no real difference.

    Less than Good experience on SQ out of Dubai

    Mmm...sometimes I think it's a cultural thing. I recall at least twice on decent into Hong Kong on Finnair. Quite bumpy as it was yet some people who were certainly not European in appearance..trotted down towards to the toilets. A very exasperated Finnish CC lass ran down the aisle yelling "get...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - How will Virgin Operate it? [CNS-HND flights ceased Feb '25]

    Well after the announcement of ceasing the service they very quickly reduced from daily(I think) to about 3 or 4 a week. Mine was cancelled shortly after the announcement and they popped me on ANA instead out of Sydney.

    Less than Good experience on SQ out of Dubai

    MH have been like that for years. My other half flew from LHR to KUL and said for half the flight ithe flight the seat belt sign was on!! That was like 6 years ago. Needless to say she has not touched the airline since and also is adamant that male pax gets much more attention than...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - How will Virgin Operate it? [CNS-HND flights ceased Feb '25]

    To be fair...none of the airport that VA fly from on international services are really ideal for elites....no lounges!! Not even a domestic one at CNS though...fair point. Maybe ADL is the exception if I recall?!!

    Not so sure we get what we deserve...the lawyers did their thing and won. Maybe SQ did not contest? I would suggest however, if they get a reputation of seat belt signs for many hours pax may look for alternatives. That perfect balance, I know, is a difficult one. Incidents can happen for all...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    So..what do you think the chances are of a quick "double status credits" offer from VA on the old system prior to new scheme coming operational?

    Velocity status on Singapore Airlines

    So it's the Aussie govt doing this...from 2018? Also just applying the 100ml rule for transit? It's the same in Europe I believe or at least the UK if you have to go through additional security. Always has been I think.

    What is the connection time at DOH? TBH I think they will do it at check in..allow yourself some time at DUB to get it all done. Be nice and smiley.

    Interested to see how this goes? To be fair, Qatar who will be the handling airline at Dublin, are actually quite good with separate tickets. They have even checked my bags through from QR flights onto BA flights with a separate PNR a few times.

    Velocity status on Singapore Airlines

    Despite various other routing and carriers I've decided to lock in double VA points and collect current status credit values before the change kicks in on SQ metal. Flights will be in economy so that will be interesting but at least as VA Platinum some lounge access exists. PER-SIN-CGK...
