It's pretty well known that QF wont have the A330's for domestic long term. They aren't going to install flatbed seating into their new domestic airbus fleet. Hard product wise for the bulk standard domestic Australian runs, I don't think you are going to see much. QF, VA and ZL won't put in...

The has been the case for a long time. There's reports that whilst they release 2 reward seats, 1 will show and if the second one hasn't been taken it appears around 24 hours later. You can of course upgrade from a choice fare : Velocity unlocks Platinum Complimentary Upgrades on cheaper fares

Modifications : * In April 2020, VA went into voluntary administration. You became an unsecured creditor * The administrator worked out that there wasn't enough to fully pay the staff, secured creditors, unsecured creditors so they looked at avenues to save the business * The administrator felt...

Actually that's a bit wrong. - Virgin Australia (ASX company) in March 2020 - Deliotte (Voluntary Administration) (Administrators control the company) (21 April 2020 - 17 November 2020) - Virgin Australia (private entity) 18 November 2020 onwards This is why flight credits still exist for...

They went into Voluntary Administration. https://asic.gov.au/regulatory-resources/insolvency/insolvency-for-creditors/voluntary-administration-a-guide-for-creditors/ https://www.deloitte.com/au/en/services/financial-advisory/notices/virgin-australia-holdings-limited-subsidiaries.html There...

Lots of people used them. Yeah they were limited to available seating per flight. Qantas had a massive debacle over theirs. You reained 100% of the value and really if you know someone, they could have used them and given you the money. Anyway they knowingly expired 31st December 2023 for a...

ZL already have a lot of problems with the meal they ordered. They don't need to buy into VA as their last supper ;-)

Doesn't really matter what the rules are. If an airline releases the inventory at 12:01am for 2 seats and there are two people after two seats at exactly the same time, it's first in best dressed so process the transaction as fast as possible IE don't do seat selection. It's not an entitlement...

It's a lite fare so less perks. The choice fare would have been interesting to see. I'd don't see that as a total bargain. When you consider flights BNE to PER which is the closest comparison you'd get $225 each way, so $550. Yes a few extra in airport fees etc. But that's not a race to...

50 minutes is Singapore Airline's minimum connection time. If the Singapore Airlines website gives you the same flight routing and you are purchasing the same flights though a 3rd party you are fine. As long as you meet the minimum connection time you are fine. You can look up history flight...

Actually they could. The T1 lounge is used for T2 departures. You would have checked-in already. It's just a short walk and go through security again (once domestically, then internationally). (I think this is similar to Melbourne, though more of a trek)

2. Yes

How it would work is that on arrival from the domestic location you would walk through the check-in area and then through immigration. If an international arrival the opposite. You are not leaving the building, so it's not a major hassle other than going through security. The benefit is the...

As a pax if you are coming off an international flight you, it would be setup to exit into the international terminal and for a domestic flight you exit straight in the domestic terminal. Therefore, you have to walk through the check-in areas to get to the domestic / international airside...

I expect this comes in part with some complexities around catering and the required systems. I'd support the long discussed new crew rostering system over a meal ordering platform. VA's international operation is nothing in comparison to JQ. Whilst on a similar note I just dont know why VA...

I swear forum members are more interested in commenting on "Bain Capital Private Equity" than what "Bain Capital Private Equity" comment on Virgin Australia. At the time of the transaction they would have been heavily involved. With the IPO on the backburner, Virgin Australia is really...

Yesterday I booked with Etihad (direct) to go to the UK around Christmas time. Flying out of Perth if you book before Virgin Australia opens up it's bookings Etihad will give you a MH option which is better than trekking Over East and paying more. Now I have discovered the performance stats of...

Which is the purpose of gate 50 at Perth.

They sure are and I was recently on VNJ. The re-config messes with the economy x seating at the over wing exits. If you're in the original second row of economy x of the over wing exits, you stay "as is" as you're now in the first row (still economy x). If you're in the original first row of...

If they cancel a flight due to factors within their control, how do they save money? Example, you paid $150 for a flight from Sydney to Melbourne. You claim $200 for a hotel ... OK I'll stop there before everything else of transport, meals etc. Even if you paid $300 for a flight, remember...
