    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Discount Y to DRW is 20 SC each way. They were in the happy hour fares too last week I'm pretty sure. That would be cheaper than J somewhere probably. That's if you're okay with Y. Edit: Flexi to OOL is comparable in cost and shorter :)

    How long until VA pulls out of DPS?

    And there we have it, looks like Garuda were the first to blink here. All services DPS-BNE-DPS canx effective 01-Feb and there has been trouble on GA services between DPS and BNE in the last few days.

    Booted from seat at gate - Does it happen often?

    Yeah they told me on the phone when they rang me to follow up that they always try and prioritise "High value" members. By the way this has happened to other people around here I'm not so sure that happens in practice. I'm in a similar situation where I could push for WP or I could just relax...

    Booted from seat at gate - Does it happen often?

    And this is the main problem I had. If they asked me and maybe tried to make it slightly less of a balls-up then I wouldn't have an issue. I submitted a complaint so lets see where it goes!

    New cars for all! I am eyeing off a 3-4 year old IS F - they just look and sound good. Also not just another E63

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Nissan R33 Skyline GTS-T Looks and is pretty stock apart from the Mags and lowered suspension from prev owner (all tasteful). Heavy duty clutch (every day is (left) leg day!) and I have added an electronic boost controller for the extra kick. I am a professional by day I promise! A picture...

    Booted from seat at gate - Does it happen often?

    The thought actually crossed my mind but it was a no-seats-left situation so I didn't want to risk being stranded in DRW - possibly a far worse situation!

    Booted from seat at gate - Does it happen often?

    Yeah I messaged the Rep from the forum so we will see if they do anything. I might try and track down one of our VA reps from work and see what they say too. This is pretty much my exact experience!

    Booted from seat at gate - Does it happen often?

    So I was flying DRW-BNE this afternoon and checked in way way in advance of the flight and got myself assigned to 5C. As I was scanned at the gate it flashed red and said "Seat change" and then was told "sorry you have been moved to row 12" with the explanation that they needed to accommodate...

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    This, it is a bit of everything. I don't just fly BNE-MEL but they are the worst offenders. We have missed push back slots, we have been slowed down, done laps of the gold coast. The BNE delays are mostly due to the singly runway. I got lucky the other day when we had a medical emergency on...

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    I don't think I have landed on time for flights to MEL or BNE at any time in the last 3 months. Getting Really really sick of 3hrs in the sky for a MEL-BNE because we are doing laps of the gold coast.

    Aircraft Type

    So I just checked into my next flight and I can see that there is 29 rows on this flight. When I pull up the flight in a dummy booking it is a 73H From what I can see it seems to be that if it is a VA flight they are are 73H and if it is VAi for VA then it is a 738 Not sure if the aircraft...

    Aircraft Type

    Silly question time: How do you guys see if it is a 738 or 73H? When I click manage bookings it just shows the aircraft type as Boeing 737-800 - I can't tell if it is the new or old one.

    15% bonus transfer NOV 14

    They could always just a easily redeem to credit at Flight Centre (or associated brands like Escape Travel, Travel Associates etc) as I have seen times where that is a more effective use of CBA points - depends on who has what at what time. So they are not all out of options. However, add me...
