    status review 28 Feb

    It's based on the departure date. However, the terms and conditions contradict themselves, in my view. Review Date: the last day of your Benefit Period. On each Review Date, if you still meet the eligibility criteria for a Status level, you’ll maintain that Status level for a further Benefit...

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    It was actually due to fact Virgin licensing couldn't be used intentionally. Virgin (Blue) domestically and everything else was Pacific Blue / V Australia etc. What changed was Singapore Airlines sold their stake to Delta and it was Delta who allowed to changed with obvious payment being paid...

    Velocity 20% bonus points on transfers offer - November 2023 to January 2024

    No different with many frequent flyer promotions. Merely, they tend to credit earlier than the T&C's. After all, you don't have to participate in the promotion if you don't want to.

    You mean Virgin Australia. This has been part of the commitment for sometime to bring more services in house with unions.

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    Bain are probably doing bi-weekly checks at best, and most likely monthly and review board content etc. So many years down the track, pretty much hands off and left to the management team. After all that's why company's have a management team. Also, you are assuming they are going to to...

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    The media swing is definitely turning to the positivities at Qantas and the negativity at Virgin Australia over the last few months. For all the IPO commentators, with the economy and the currently VA issues, its a poor business state. I fail to see much traction happening in 2024.

    Virgin to charge for Seat Selection - WP/SG Exempt

    If you're doing that through the website, try through the mobile app and it normally works. That's been a strange quirk for a long time.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    VH-VUO is currently flying and has scheduled flight upcoming. How's it in progress? I'm surprised they are doing the VU* aircraft, I thought they would be exiting the fleet soonest.

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    The initial complaint from the unions was crew being fatigued. The new deal includes extra bonus payments when working over 9 hours. Well, that's enticing fatigue with a cherry on top!

    Anyone booked a flight on Booking.com before?

    Booking.com is fine for hotels etc. The issue is booking flights. From what I can work out, gotogate was purchased by the company who owns and operates booking.com and they have simply incorporated it into booking.com without solving any of the underlying issues with gotogate.

    Spend your Velocity points on everyday purchases?

    But not everyone is as educated. If you are short for cash and have the points, you'd use the points.

    Virgin Voyages Access Keys for 79,999 points on the Velocity Store

    An odd suggestion, if you paid for the flights you wouldn't burn so many points. Plus you'd earn some points on the flight booking. Does that drum up your interest ?
