    Virgin Australia orders 8 Embraer E190-E2 jets for delivery from 2025

    So long as the leasing terms are reasonable, not a problem at all...

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    Onboard VH-YIG at the moment, wifi hasn't skipped a beat. Have had wifi for most of my VA services so far this year, so not complaining.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Quite a few VA flights delayed today so probably explains the "fullness" of the lounge. Same thing would happen at the other end if there were delays as well.

    Bid for Upgrade on United Flight?

    Unfortunately in my experience it's been a no as well.

    I was thinking more the DPS runs, but 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

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

    Could it possibly be moving the MAX onto other routes, pending arrival of the other frames?

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    That's a bit rude 🤬 PS - for those without sense of humour, I'm a Samsung-ite...firmly believing you don't mix fruit with business. :cool:

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Correct. It is either for both (if successful) or none.

    Targeted Velocity Double SCs or Points Offer [July 2024]

    Just a case of plumping up the forward bookings so that numbers look good/better for the IPO.

    Targeted Velocity Double SCs or Points Offer [July 2024]

    WP and received the double points or double SC offer yesterday, so guessing it's a broad-based "fill up the forward bookings" by Bain. Will most likely cancel and rebook my AFL GF BNE-MEL & vv flights if the pricing hasn't changed.

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    I knew that was likely to be the case, but didn't want to be a DYKWIA. Figured that old habits die hard for some. 😑

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    Having said that, flew in Row 3 on one of the new layouts and was told that I couldn't have my soft laptop bag under 2A...apparently everything in Row 3 needs to go in the overhead :(:(

    A little trick is to dummy a booking for say, 6 pax and see whether J is still available or not. As the J cabin is only 8, if there's less than 6 available it will say that Business is unavailable. Adjust and re-run the booking as needed.

    Triple status credits on Virgin Australia

    It will be on your boarding pass under "PNR" 1719099406 If it was a cancellation and rebook of a new flight, then yes, you'll likely not be eligible for the triple SC. If it's simply "fly ahead" and the lounge staff moved to to the earlier flight, then you should be fine.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    Was considering going with this deal, however Alinta sent through an email advising of a drop (yes, you read correctly!) of 16% in my electricity rates to 31% below the reference rate. So long as there's no change to the reference rate then we'd be well ahead. Unfortunately I've found most...

    Flying Air Canada - Velocity points and lounge access?

    I've just jagged a J rewards seat for BNE-YVR and return next month, however I'm not having any luck with getting seat selection to work via the AC website - it just keeps returning an error. Has anyone had this previously and/or have a resolution (without having to call AC)??

    Penne arrabiata isn't exactly tough to make, and I'd say the same for the Thai chicken soup. Admittedly on arrival on Monday night they had Spinach and Cheese pastries, Sausage rolls and a few other bits and pieces, so not the same menu every night.
