    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    There were plenty of other bidders for Virgin when it when into administration. When Bain acquired Virgin Australia the USA partner was Delta and there were at no plans to switch to United. Also at this time, Singapore Airlines were a main partner with no plans of Qatar coming on board. How...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    I'm pretty sure that there was some commentary that Virgin and Qatar were doing a lot of talks with relevant parties prior to making this public. True or not we will never know. Time will tell.

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    To me it more sounds you're upset you're not going to get Gold Forever. However, as it's new it's pretty obvious they are targeting their elite travelers without knowing. I emailed Velocity and got a response on my SC count. I'm close but around 2,500 SC's short on he VA requirement. I'll...

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    Going through my activity on the website for now from 1st January 2021, I've obtained a total of 3,784 Status Credits. Of which 2,485 from flying VA marketed flights myself and 1,299 from other sources. Fingers crossed I make the cut. In recent years my flying has been much lower than almost...

    I'm glad you never mentioned Gold because Virgin / Velocity seem to offer that to everyone as trial.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    I don't think I've seen anyone else make the comment. But really a lot of people with status have a review date of 28th Feb (due to the covid extensions). A way to try and achieve retaining status in the short term would be to lock in travel now / before booking date changes and complete...

    Virgin changing its fare structure

    This seems to be for corporate accounts, not the general public or am I missing something?

    Terrible experience with Virgin Australia and ignored at check-in

    To be honest Perth airport for Virgin Australia, you just as well use the normal economy check-in. There's not even a manned priority check in counter usually, whilst it does exist.

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    I'm surprised Velocity doesn't have MFA itself to log into the account.

    Triple status credits on Virgin Australia

    July is the next financial year and any revenue for July would be account for differently. It's no unusual for offers / specials around this time of year. With a lot of commentary around potential softening of airfares, to me this doesn't seem like any soft of a revenue pump.

    Economy X - row 5 B737.

    Also to give all 737-800 and 737-700's a standard config instead of multiple configs.

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    Evacuation rules are that you leave hand luggage behind. This would include pets. As sad as it is that's the rules and the importance was highlighted in the recent Japan incident where most likely everyone survived because no-one took any luggage off board. (If they were in the cargo hold, it...

    Jayne Hrdlicka to resign as CEO

    Surely people who buy shares do exactly the same thing?

    Jayne Hrdlicka to resign as CEO

    Unsure what you mean. But it's publicly known they have all already received their investment back in full. If it's a profitable airline I had no idea why people think it will be sold. Just as well keep running it and make more $$$.

    Virgin Australian "Trade Sale" - who would be best?

    Why? They have failed with really every airline they have dabbled in. Essentially spun SilkAir back into the main airline and Scoot seems to be doing OK and probably because they allow a Scoot / SIA joint booking.

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    If VA didn't do this, there would be no competition on the route and the airfare on Qantas would go through the roof. It's not as if it's a long flight and the Saab is fine. Though each to their own.
