Perhaps not... My partner is WP and flew 29 sectors, 66 hours and 26,396km and was also in the top 10% only.

The 2022 "year in review" email is out from Velocity. How did you go? SG here, and in the top 10 per cent of travellers with 18 sectors, 19,199km, and 45 air hours.

There is a known issue with United flights not crediting. You'll just need to persist. Good luck

Unfortunately you'll just need to wait it out or persist. Your story is not uncommon, especially between airlines. Good luck

Correct. Unfortunately VA international metal flights have no lounge access.

I think we were spoilt in Australia on transcon for a number of years as a result of the VA1 and QF A330 battle. Expectations need to lower is my take.

Negative, unfortunately.

Well according to the Instagram stories, there's a "wonderful" hangar party happening right now

For the fare difference, yes (subject to availability). Only SG and WP have complimentary fly ahead benefits.

Virgin Atlantic is joining Sky Team in 2023 Cue the alliance talk, again... 🤣 https://www.skyteam.com/en/about/virgin-atlantic

Sounds like a long time since you were in T3? It's a massive improvement from what it was, that's for sure.

Just as a data point, I (SG) booked flights last night MEL-MCY and return and included my partner (WP) and was able to select both Economy X seats for free.

True. I was confused by your reply to the quote about the long walk - there is no difference in the length of walk for those with baggage or without 😉

Yes, the standard 30kg for no status. Good thing is you can pool between bags if you're both travelling on the same PNR.

How? Drop luggage off and walk from T3 to T4. It's the same walk. And they aren't carrying luggage.

What is your status? That will help determine whether you get more than the standard economy allowance. Add your VA status to this calculator and it will let you know. https://www.etihad.com/en-au/fly-etihad/baggage
