Would love to know criteria for VA targeting ..😜

Is it not only the VA (code share though) that can be credited to VA? Do you get VA points ok for DOH-EDI? If so could be worthwhile if you intend to utilise VA in the future. Family pooling would maybe also increase realistically opportunity of one getting to Gold and thus status with VA...

Just priced some random dates ex PER via MEL to OOL. Almost spilt my coffee! Over 1500 dollars each way in Biz. Priced it from MEL, much better but the status points are ridiculously low. Very cheap down the back but even with X3 points a handful of Status only. Unless you have a compelling...

Holiday inn resort was quite good. However a bit out of town.

Bit of a mouthful...but The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts (the department) Issued the tender and result...albeit transparency seems somewhat lacking...

Best to compare both but for me, seems better value (looking for saver on points) transferring VA to SQ then booking through SQ. That way also guarantees seat choice.

Still some value I think in transferring points (even if the exchange rate is a little poor), to SQ as they have some really low redemptions ex SIN and even some reasonable Saver travels from Aus. Personally we use our VA points mostly for SQ travel.

Still interesting that the costs are not in the public domain. I would.have thought also that a transition to Max from 320 would also be a positive within the bid.

RYR app easily available on Apple store and Google play like all airlines. Also download the "ticket" to your wallet and you don't need any internet connection at the airport to board. https://www.ryanair.com/gb/en/lp/explore/ryanair-app

It's interesting that the winning tender price is not publicly available. Is this normal in Australia?

Yep tell that to the banks, airlines who insist on self tagging, cashless society, list goes on.....RYR are by far not the only ones. If pax don't like it it's easy as with everything RYR, just simply don't fly them.

Or being progressive. Bet they will not be the only carrier over the coming months...😉

Seems ok with all other one world operators. As usual it's more likely than not QF are the issue on this matter. They just don't want you to fly anyone else but themselves. The worst one world member out there is QF.

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...😁
