    Booking Velocity Reward Seats for Xmas Period

    Spot on. They will ask for your credit card details over the phone, but apparently that's a bit tough for an e-form 😑😑

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    Current forecast for Brisbane and Gold Coast this weekend is 0-30mm of rain per day. Further north than that is a different matter. As @Saab34 said, no VA bases north of BNE would hopefully mean they're minimally affected.

    Platinums can now use complimentary upgrade from a Choice fare

    Compared with paying full whack for J, you're getting the J product (seat, meal, drinks) at a cutback price. Sure you don't get the SCs, but 🤷‍♂️

    Platinums can now use complimentary upgrade from a Choice fare

    I got paid upgrades last year in both directions with minimal overs on the lowest possible "bid" price. Well worth it for the business space on the way over and for the recline + legroom on the red eye.

    Link Airways / Virgin Australia expand NSW regional partnership.

    I flew ZL to Roma on a Saab last year. First and last time, until QFLink get the QLD regulated routes back.

    Transit thru Changi

    No need to go in and out of immigration at Singapore unless you happened to have an inbound flight where you needed to collect and recheck your bags. If they're both SQ then no issue there.

    How to book Velocity Amex free flight?

    It's always been tenuous. I'd recommend calling.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    As most Mums will attest to, once they've been worn once, white socks are never truly "white" again.

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    MCU43 still active for a BNE-SYD return flight in mid-February that I'm looking to book. Unfortunately other codes referenced (ZXW75, EXZ28 & VUZ11) look like they're dead.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I got the same points as paid for...but the bonus SC were a pleasant surprise

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I didn't look at the time, however it did show booking class as J and I've received 55SC for the flight, so I'm guessing that someone took a ticket out of revenue for me 😇

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Same here - got told at gate that catering was not assured, however when onboard our CM made no mention of that. :)

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    VA908 BNE-SYD this morning. I was pleasantly surprised by the beep beep at the gate and being told I was not longer in 3A. Got to the end of the airbridge to see zero queue, and was welcomed onboard. J was full and our delightful CM was offering OJ and water as PDB. Once airborne, the offering...

    Velocity Baggage allowance

    By my reading you appear to be correct, as a Lite fare gives you nothing (unless purchased) and Choice or Flex give you 2 x 23kg bags. Unfortunately I don't you'd get much more than a cut and paste response if you complained though. 😑

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    In BNE for the next 30 minutes, can guest 3. Pretty quiet (for AM peak), however coffee line is long and the automatic machine is broken 😪 Chipolatas and scrambled eggs on the menu this morning.

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Please don't give Bain ideas 🙏🙏

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Spot. Freaking. On. Poor performance in baggage handling through and post-COVID also means that most travellers don't want to take the risk of their bags going to another destination, even if a "free" checked bag or two is included with the ticket. These days I'm only checking a bag if there's...

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Poor weather would also be affecting quick turns at the moment as well. No entry/exit from the rear if it's pouring/stormy at BNE/SYD/MEL.

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    Same here. I applied for the Europcar status in early October and still nothing.
