    About to drop to Silver

    If 4 eligible sectors is difficult (i.e two return VA metal flights in 12 months), I'm not sure that the $ spent on Silver/Gold etc. are worth it... or that I'd classify you as a FF...

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    For the record, I am very, very happy with the overall VA lounge offering at present (and I'll even give the chicken sausages another go 🤣)

    It wasn't me as the mutterer 🤣

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    The sooner those skinless chicken sausages are gone, the better. Has anyone had one that isn't completely dry and hard?

    Dining experiences on Etihad

    Thanks @jase05 and @Pele. If you don't mind me asking, what month were your flights? Etihad recently made a bit of hooha about the new Armani collaboration for new crockery and (most importantly!) a "memory foam mattress and luxurious Armani bedding" launching "from December 2022"...

    Reward flights with QR disappear as soon as opened

    I'm not sure when you are looking @jackster but there is perhaps a blackout on dates leading up to Christmas of this year, per this thread over in the QR forum: Qatar only releasing flexi awards seats at Christmas?

    I really liked it but portion I had was small

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    That's the standard economy service on VA for Y. Sounds like QF will serve your needs better with the complimentary snack for (usually) higher fare.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Pretty much all the meals in rotation are in this thread, so I'd make a decision based on that + known pantry offerings about whether for your personal needs it will be enough.

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Thanks for the data points on missing SC's. Same issue for me. Flew MEL-HBA in J on 2 Jan and with pooling that 110 SC was to get me to WP! Sent an email on Thursday, no response as yet, but good to know that it's not just me and they are aware.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    MEL-HBA this morning, STD 0840, delayed and ATD 0915. PDB offered, water or orange juice. Choice for meal was either the dukkah eggs on turkish bread or the carrot cake muesli. Although more like a cold porridge and relatively small portion, the muesli was very tasty. Two cups of tea which I...

    VA MEL T3/T4 is now like QFd

    I find the new T3/4 layout much, much better, but, clearly, YMMV.

    Virgin to lose A330's and B777's - become mid range airline - really?

    Partner's dad about to fly MAN-DOH on it... After the 6 hour delay due incoming delay 😵‍💫 Edit: all original VA seating still onboard, including the "Economy X" branding on the seats

    How do status credits work?

    VA uses a 12 month rolling renewal - you need to have earnt 400 in the 12 months prior to your review date. In this case, you've only earnt 283 in the 12 months prior to your review date. The rest of your 403 status credits are from before 23 June 2022 and don't count towards renewal.
