    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    Good question. I reckon the seats might be released, because at the time of flying you'll be Silver. But I'm not 100% sure.

    I signed up on April 29, got an email with the Velocity logo in the header, still no points on June 12.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    I had the same experience as flyingmachine. You can change your number to VA after you’ve checked in though. I changed mine when I got onboard. Though I should’ve kept it as QR.

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    JetBlue is probably the best example of that. They operate narrowbodies only (E190/A220/A320/A321). The A220 is used on 5-6 hour trans-cons, the A321N is used to UK/Europe from JFK/BOS and to northern South America from JFK.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    99% of the time they operate SGN/PNH/PEN/HKT. The ex-CX planes do BKK/HKG/MLE/IST.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    I connected over a month ago and have received a bill (even though I’m meant to get them quarterly) and no points yet.

    QR could lease VA the ex-VA 777’s they operate.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    I'm in QLD and was told I'd get a $200 credit as well.

    VH-8IF arrived in BNE from KOA yesterday afternoon.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    Given the choice of CI, BR or QF to TPE which would you choose? I know for the average punter it doesn't matter, but people who know the products or those that are regular customers wouldn't go near QF.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    Correct. Unless QF decide to run the 787 those four days to LAX they'll have to ferry an A330 up from SYD.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    The QLD Government has just announced this morning that from July 1 everyone will be receiving $1000 off power bills. I still have credit from the last round of funding so with that plus $1000 plus the $200 AGL credit this should work out to be a good decision to switch!

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    Yes status is printed on the boarding pass, and staff should know about the partnership (there's plenty around in DOH so someone should know!)

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    I've now had to sign up three times because of AGL's incompetence. I really hope it's worth it for the points.

    You can just enter the QR Gold Lounge (go to the new South one). You should get access to a third party lounge in DUB too.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    I signed up online, downloaded the app, could log in and see the "Connection in progress" message. Then got a text saying to contact AGL to complete the connection. Got onto the chatbot, went through all my details only to have the person ask me what plan I wanted to sign up for... Eventually...

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    For me, rates much cheaper than Origin, 20,000 points and a $200 credit, that’s a pretty great deal.

    Velocity Gold Status and Singapore Airlines

    VA status doesn't grant access to third party lounges when flying SQ. But if you're flying Business then you do get access.

    No premium economy, so we've changed you to premium economy.

    My guess is that as you're on QF4111 somehow there are no T class seats under that flight number so they've booked you onto the AA flight number that does have T class which is why the other bookings already under AA72 didn't get the message.
