    Platinum Complimentary Upgrades - only Two?!

    So I have never used this benefit before because I never saw any value in it. Today when I called up to enquire about using it on a trip to cairns I was told that I only have 2 remaining. When I asked why I had 2 instead of 4 despite never using one I was told that when my platinum membership...

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Interesting. I'm guessing that a day or 2 stopover in Qatar is not a possibility, while still using the QCredits?

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Wow what a stark contrast between levels of service. I was first to board on my last J flight from CNS to SYD and no-one was greeted by name including me and my partner who are both platinum. No other drinks offered after our breakfast of cereal (the only option) either, but instead of hiding...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    On CNS to SYD at 6.30am all that was available was cereal and a muffin. Cairns lounge is still closed so yeah not too impressed with that. Attendants never asked if anyone in J wanted anything else to drink during the remainder of the flight. In fact they just closed the curtain and were...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I didnt like the chicken dish at all. I got a lot of chicken on mine (3 decent sized pieces) but it's all thigh meat and there was a lot of skin and blubber on my pieces. I know it's just personal preference, as most people actually prefer the thighs. I just had a couple of bites and a tiny bit...

    Wow so much better than the Sydney lounge, only sandwhiches each time I'm there

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    In Sydney lounge they have a few basic spirits now. The "bartender" very carefully measured out a 3/4 nip for me and my partner (as if it was from his own private stash) I couldn't help but laugh a little bit.

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Yeah that makes sense. But from the wording of the membership benefits it would seem some hotels don't participate at all in offering the free night, except I haven't been able to find a listing of such exclusions. Similar story with the 50% off dining, they mention there are exceptions but...

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Thanks for checking. It's so mysterious how the free night works until you actually join up lol. Do they even have somewhere a published list of Accor hotels which do not participate in it?

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Can anyone please check for me if there is a stayplus free night available in Cairns Reef Pullman for any of the 11th, 12th or 13th of this month? I know it is extremely unlikely but hey anything's possible haha!

    Virgin adds/increases Cairns, Darwin, Townsville routes.

    Now they just need to open up the other lounges, and start serving more than just ham and cheese toasties!

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Flew J from SYD to OOL and the breakfast options were potato rosti with salmon or something with mushrooms and cheese on toast. I chose the potato rosti and salmon, it was nice but quite a small portion size. Would have been good if it came with some spinach or tomato to help fill it out a bit...

    Are seatbelt sizes the same in J as in Y

    Ok good to know. On my flight back tonight the seatbelt had a few extra notches to spare, which leads me to believe that perhaps the seatbelt lengths aren't uniform across every aircraft? I know I certainly haven't lost any weight in the last few days haha

    Are seatbelt sizes the same in J as in Y

    Flew SYD to OOL in J and the seatbelt only had about an inch to spare! Just wondering if the belts are the same length in J as in rows 3 to 5. I know I've put on some pounds over covid but now I'm worried I wont fit into the normal seat belts in Y

    Update on VA Lounges? [BNE/SYD/MEL/PER/OOL/ADL/CBR now open]

    This whole virgin lounge situation is a pathetic joke. What is the point of them opening only Brisbane, for 6 days a week no less

    Update on VA Lounges? [BNE/SYD/MEL/PER/OOL/ADL/CBR now open]

    30% off Velocity Business Reward seats & upgrades [extended until 11/01/21]

    They could offer 50% off for J redemptions, it still doesn't change the fact that all you're getting is more spacious/comfortable seating on the flight. No lounges or in flight service renders virgins offering unappealing to me regardless of the price.

    VA COVID Service

    I just don't like the way they have handled things. Unlike Qantas they have taken even opportunity to screw their customers, blaming the pandemic for it every step of the way, when in reality it's their own commercial decisions based solely on profits! From not refunding their customers, to...
