Yep it's not easy to get a grip of it all. Get your calculator out and a good old fashioned pen and paper! https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers/airlines/virgin-australia-airlines#tab_earn_status

what makes a successful "target" for VA. Would love to know what their "target" criteria was for this.

Yeah and on the Glasgow run....they are never shy in plying you with Champagne. Not QF sparkling nonsense ..😂

Booking biz may be actually a reasonable return?

Mine came also.

Internally, I assume the AY excellent biz seats remain....and colour scheme inside remains as AY?

Prefer it in Finnair colours...😁

I struggle to see where QF actually truly competes in the true sense of international airline competition. They have it good. They have a LCC called Jetstar. They manipulate rather than compete. Personally I've never seen a truly competitive international flight cost with them. I'm not saying...

Yeah I have just compared VA code share on SQ metal to Hanoi from Perth. Biz class results in 700 dollars difference flying with VA number against SQ!! How can that ever be justified or even allowed? Same flights.and from what I see, same conditions of ticket.

If I recall correctly, I did this as tag flights in the past (within last 3 years) on AY ticket but using CX metal while chasing BA tier points.

It's a gimmick. QF should block it for status pax if loads allow. It's another money making process.

Yep I think it's kinda 'gimmicky".. and.it was not that long back that Virgin had another stupid thing which was a middle seat thing...sit in the middle and.get a prize or something..🙄....how about just offering Platinum something more worthwhile.

Mm. There is air rage over seat recline....I can just imagine the scenario on a Bali sector over that paid spare middle 😂

Well yes but someone in 3b or 3e I think is also uncomfortable. Personally if not taken I think VA should be "blocking" the middle seat for Platinum with NO cost. BA do this for one if not full even way down the back.

Suppose then good points run! 😉

Probably...but more fool them for letting QF get away with it. I've just checked the same dates and with MH you can fly in biz from Perth to London and back for an additional one thousand five hundred dollars. (7,500 all up). Seriously...QF need to be dumped from One World. They are the biggest...

Can you imagine paying that price from PER-KUL-PER? 😂😂😂😂 Business Sale? 😝 ..serioudly Indeed. Very "One World" of them. ,🙄

Can you imagine paying that price from PER-KUL-PER? 😂😂😂😂 Business Sale? 😝 ..seriously!

Sounds exciting....but if it is paid for why are considering VA FF status. Perhaps your strategy should be for one world highest tier on the trip and enjoy their benefits? Achieve OW Emerald and as I am assuming you will be in the higher cabin throughout the trip you will also receive benefits...

When you are shuttling between PER and anywhere like ADL, MEL SYD, CBR, you get hot breakfasts, lunches and dinners (not snacks). A couple of bottles of wine, etc etc on QF. . Quite useful for many compared to VA where even if you think, "eat in lounge" the offering is just worse than school...
