It's interesting that the winning tender price is not publicly available. Is this normal in Australia?

Yep tell that to the banks, airlines who insist on self tagging, cashless society, list goes on.....RYR are by far not the only ones. If pax don't like it it's easy as with everything RYR, just simply don't fly them.

Or being progressive. Bet they will not be the only carrier over the coming months...😉

Seems ok with all other one world operators. As usual it's more likely than not QF are the issue on this matter. They just don't want you to fly anyone else but themselves. The worst one world member out there is QF.

Yep it's not easy to get a grip of it all. Get your calculator out and a good old fashioned pen and paper! https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers/airlines/virgin-australia-airlines#tab_earn_status

what makes a successful "target" for VA. Would love to know what their "target" criteria was for this.

Yeah and on the Glasgow run....they are never shy in plying you with Champagne. Not QF sparkling nonsense ..😂

Booking biz may be actually a reasonable return?

Mine came also.

Internally, I assume the AY excellent biz seats remain....and colour scheme inside remains as AY?

Prefer it in Finnair colours...😁

I struggle to see where QF actually truly competes in the true sense of international airline competition. They have it good. They have a LCC called Jetstar. They manipulate rather than compete. Personally I've never seen a truly competitive international flight cost with them. I'm not saying...

Yeah I have just compared VA code share on SQ metal to Hanoi from Perth. Biz class results in 700 dollars difference flying with VA number against SQ!! How can that ever be justified or even allowed? Same flights.and from what I see, same conditions of ticket.

If I recall correctly, I did this as tag flights in the past (within last 3 years) on AY ticket but using CX metal while chasing BA tier points.

It's a gimmick. QF should block it for status pax if loads allow. It's another money making process.

Yep I think it's kinda 'gimmicky".. and.it was not that long back that Virgin had another stupid thing which was a middle seat thing...sit in the middle and.get a prize or something..🙄....how about just offering Platinum something more worthwhile.

Mm. There is air rage over seat recline....I can just imagine the scenario on a Bali sector over that paid spare middle 😂

Well yes but someone in 3b or 3e I think is also uncomfortable. Personally if not taken I think VA should be "blocking" the middle seat for Platinum with NO cost. BA do this for one if not full even way down the back.

Suppose then good points run! 😉

Probably...but more fool them for letting QF get away with it. I've just checked the same dates and with MH you can fly in biz from Perth to London and back for an additional one thousand five hundred dollars. (7,500 all up). Seriously...QF need to be dumped from One World. They are the biggest...
