    Virgin Australia changes to carry on baggage allowance effective 2 Feb 2026

    Not sure where you get that from at least not all LCC in Europe. easyJet one of the biggest in the world, 15kg carry on. 😁. And if you mean Ryanair well paying often 40 dollars return for a flight quite happy to accept and deal with their "rules and regulations".

    Virgin Australia changes to carry on baggage allowance effective 2 Feb 2026

    Well we have seen it yes.....no matter where you fly in the world ...however airlines sometimes bring it on themselves with their "let's increase seating capacity" approach, let's contract with poor baggage handling agents", not forgetting the good old standard delays of .....let's see ..."gate...

    Or just a fare with checked bags included. Some other airline in Australia has that ...😁

    Virgin Australia changes to carry on baggage allowance effective 2 Feb 2026

    We shall see....not convinced on that. Especially when you look at airlines that allow more to be brought on board. But as I say we shall see the stats in due course. 😁

    What's going on with MH126 (PER-KUL departing 02:10)?

    Certainly I believe the Monday flight and often the Tuesday flight can be 737 family. If you have flight radar 24 you can do a check.

    MH Flex Fares new cancellation fee

    So this is for family fare flex ...not for business flex from what I can see. No idea what family flex bundle is but that seems to be the point in question?

    Yep it's managing the situation. It's a knack. Bosses of Virgin Aus should see how Easyjet deal with it mostly. Pro active in managing and securing the cabin. Different world.

    Virgin Australia changes to carry on baggage allowance effective 2 Feb 2026

    Oh gosh. So let's see, they increase the economy cabin seating considerably, they remove a row of X, and then penalise the pax. Bet the feedback was really from cabin crew moaning. The race to the bottom is almost complete for this LCC. Not convinced me by a long shot!

    Credit Card Offers Refreshed Amex Velocity Platinum Card Benefits & Offers

    Yeah and if I remember correctly at least with the "old" card, it's another pain to go through to get the limit increased further. 🙄

    The Status Match Daisy Chain from Velocity to Delta to AA.

    Will Australian addresses etc work for this?

    How long did your Velocity Hotel partner program status match take?

    For me it took ages. Had to call them also. Need to make sure that your name and email address is as provided to the velocity FF programme is the exact same as the hotel group. It's ok once it comes but like everything with VA it's never easy!! 🙄

    Why can't VA offer multi city including international flights?

    Why can't they? Why only domestic multi city? I can choose more flight options on VA metal via Expedia flights. (Enforcing a night stop rather than having to have an over night flight which is the only option on VA. Is booking VA flights via Expedia potentially hazardous time to ensure that FF...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    That the crux isn't it. It's an ill thought change process. You get the status points ....but it is the wrong sort of status points ....it's hard to calculate your earnings ....it's hard to understand the way points expire ...it's hard to understand the VA logic. They charge more for having a VA...

    Virgin Australia Pick Your Bonus Promo - Double Points or Status Credits - Ends 13 June 2025

    Would love to know criteria for VA targeting ..😜

    Confused, and needing some advice - QFF v Velocity v Qatar!

    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...

    Triple Velocity points to/from OOL

    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...
