    2024 AFL Grand Final

    It's a prescribed match by the Vic government, so if you get caught selling for over the face value, there's a fair penalty. Having said that, a lot of people who bought packages are trying to offload for face value now whilst the market is hot with disappointed Swans & Lions fans.

    2024 AFL Grand Final

    Same here. Flew down from Brisbane to watch the Prelim with Dad and then spent half an hour negotiating with the QANTAS app to grab him an airfare while he drove the M5. So having said that, we both have flights to/from MEL + a hotel, and now just looking for a pair of tickets. I picked up a J...

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    I was in SYD earlier this month and same thing occurred. Seemed quite deliberate, but as she was so noisy about it, it seemed a bit fake as well. Tough gig to get right, but looks like it's all about recognition.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    In BNE for the next 40 minutes, can guest 3. Breakfast on offer is scrambled eggs, sausage, baked beans, and the coffee queue is currently 15+ long 😑

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Successful bid of minimum $85 on BNE-SYD for VA908 cleared at T-25. Got the "you have been outbid" email at T-48 but when VA's booking service showed 6 seats available for purchase still, I figured a minimum upgrade would be fine. Have bid minimum on the return (VA957) however as there's only 3...

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    That's strange, as I've been in the BNE lounge previously when Link flights have been called (although can't recall if they were on the board or not).

    BNE lounge for the next 45 minutes. Can guest 3. Scrambled eggs and baked beans on the menu this morning and it's not too busy.

    Air Canada Business with Velocity points

    Having just returned from a BNE-YVR and return trip, I can advise that my seats were available on 17/6 for 22/7 outbound & 31/7 return..so 6 weeks in advance. YMMV here, however there's regularly Y availability and hence you could always book THAT in and then wait for a J seat...

    Virgin Australia orders 8 Embraer E190-E2 jets for delivery from 2025

    So long as the leasing terms are reasonable, not a problem at all...

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    Onboard VH-YIG at the moment, wifi hasn't skipped a beat. Have had wifi for most of my VA services so far this year, so not complaining.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    Quite a few VA flights delayed today so probably explains the "fullness" of the lounge. Same thing would happen at the other end if there were delays as well.

    Bid for Upgrade on United Flight?

    Unfortunately in my experience it's been a no as well.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - How will Virgin Operate it? [CNS-HND flights ceased Feb '25]

    I was thinking more the DPS runs, but 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    Tokyo Haneda slot - How will Virgin Operate it? [CNS-HND flights ceased Feb '25]

    Could it possibly be moving the MAX onto other routes, pending arrival of the other frames?

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    That's a bit rude 🤬 PS - for those without sense of humour, I'm a Samsung-ite...firmly believing you don't mix fruit with business. :cool:

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Correct. It is either for both (if successful) or none.

    Targeted Velocity Double SCs or Points Offer [July 2024]

    Just a case of plumping up the forward bookings so that numbers look good/better for the IPO.

    Targeted Velocity Double SCs or Points Offer [July 2024]

    WP and received the double points or double SC offer yesterday, so guessing it's a broad-based "fill up the forward bookings" by Bain. Will most likely cancel and rebook my AFL GF BNE-MEL & vv flights if the pricing hasn't changed.

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    I knew that was likely to be the case, but didn't want to be a DYKWIA. Figured that old habits die hard for some. 😑

    In-flight Wi-Fi on Virgin Australia

    Having said that, flew in Row 3 on one of the new layouts and was told that I couldn't have my soft laptop bag under 2A...apparently everything in Row 3 needs to go in the overhead :(:(
