Thanks very much. What is the PP?

I have time to kill waiting for my boss to arrive in LAX, as he comes in on a later flight than me. So my question is, can an arriving passenger on VA1 (Platinum) use the loft or the new lounge (forgot it's name), or is it airside and departing passengers only? Thanks!

I am Platinum status. I gave them a call and they were happy to allocate seats on the phone. They said that I should be able to do it myself online.

I was clicking around the VA website and looking at my upcoming trip BNE-SYD-LAX, and it seemed like I could select seats. I was able to select them but then when I got to the return trip (LAX to BNE) it said that had to be done at check in and took me back to the start. I could not make the...

I have just made Platinum (yeah!) and one of the benefits is that there are 4 guaranteed reward seats available. Now when I was Gold I tried to book a reward seat using points from LA to Memphis, and was told there was no availability. Now that I am Platinum, does it mean there should be...

It happened to me when I move to Gold, I was 10 short with more travel booked. To get to Plat which happens today (yeah!) I was on 900 for a while, then got to 960 with a lot more travel booked, then started dropping back, but a flexi overseas pushed me over convincingly. So no comping for me...

I know that we all fly a lot so tend to have a lot to say when things aren't exactly as we want them, but I have just had a reality check. I have spent the last week flying in the USA on Virgin America and Delta, and I have to say that Virgin Australia beats them hands down. Now this may be...

I'm sitting in Miami, and in theory have hit 1000 credits. I have 960 credited, but the last 40 from the internal Virgin America flight will take a while to come through. I phoned up the membership centre and they say I have to wait for them to come through, they can't recognise the flight until...

Thanks Intra. I have so far managed to not do a status run, but ADL is where family is so I might have to, but hopefully will make it regardless. Plat doesn't have much concrete that is better than Gold, but I just want it. I have been Gold for 4 years now all on the cheapest fares only. This...

Thanks for the help. Flying Virgin America from FLL to LAX. I only get 1:20 in LAX, from the domestic flight landing to the international one taking off. I personally don't think we will make it, but I am happy to spend the night if we don't and let our travel lady sort it out! But no time for...

It was big and roomy on Thursday afternoon, I like it. The desk has always helped me change flights and are very efficient. Overall I like the new lounge and love the view of the planes!

I am currently Gold, and need 85 status credits to get to Platinum. On the 11th and the 13th of January I have points expiring, so that on the 13th I end up needing 115 points. But on the 13th I fly to LA then to Fort Lauderdale (Virgin America booked through Virgin Australia), flexi. To me...

Hi I am flying Brisbane to Miami to fort Lauderdale, and back, next week. Is there some sort of lounge in Fort Lauderdale, and does it (please) have a shower? It is a long way back after a day at a client and I arrive back in Miami just in time to run for the international flight back to...

I am gold, not sure about Plat. I have learned to plan well in advance!

I had to book as soon as they opened, which was 11.5 months in advance I think. I booked business and found they went quickly, for the cheaper Reward seats. If you want internal travel in the US, good luck. I have had no luck booking that on Reward seats 10 months out.

I am 90 points off Platinum, and am now sick of just missing it. I start losing a lot of points from the 14th, so want to do my first status run ever. Since I have been Gold for years all on the cheapest fare, it may be time to try something more expensive! I'm in Brisbane and need 90 points...

Does anyone have a link to current info on this? I am 90 SC's from Platinum, and about to lose a lot of credits that expire in 2 weeks, so if I can do a status run on double status credits, it may be well worth pushing for Platinum! Every year I get close, this may be it!

Malaysia is the next best. For me in Brisbane it may cost less to go to KL than Perth! Does anyone know the layout of the circuit in Putrajaya, and if it is possible to get a hotel that actually overlooks the circuit?

Thanks Kevrosmith. I'm at the airport (in the Koru Club) and they let me check in, so I'm hopeful!

I was on the cancelled VA66 from Brisbane to Wellington this morning, and am now on the 6pm VA68. However I don't want to make the rather long trek back to the airport if the physical aircraft is stuck in Wellington. Is there any way to tell what physical aircraft is assigned to the flight...
