    The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

    does anyone know if you can earn status credits for Qantas on LATAM ticketed Qantas flights? looking at buisness class flights from Perth to Auckland and there is a reasonably priced PER-MEL-SYD-AKL flight of which 2 legs are on QF metal which in theory is decent if those 2 flights earn status...

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

    I know ONS (Onslow) is limited to the Fokker 100 (or B717) due to runway surface/width. I have heard charter contracts are pretty lucritive for airlines so keeping a smaller F100 fleet might still be worth it over losing the contracts to Qantas or Alliance. I doubt there is anywhere where a...

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

    I think it would be for me but YMMV. the foot rest was kind of fun but not particularly comfortable for the way I sleep, but I can certainly imagine it being helpful especially for people who are shorter. I found putting the provided pillow behind my back made the seat a lot more comfortable as...

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

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    I would like a small layer of foam between the seat frame/tray table and the leather on the ex-jetstar Qantaslink A320, the seats are just so unbelievably uncomfortable, I don't understand how anyone can find that seat design acceptable.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Well done on finding that pricing! I noticed there was a lot of options missing when I was searching on Google flights. I wonder if there are some decent similar runs from other cities as well.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    not sure if its been posted here but just booked a fairly good value status run from perth. PER-MEL-CNS-HND-CNS-SYD-PER 650SC (1300DSC) for $2707 might be possible to reduce that price further with coupons but I couldnt get any to work (possibly because it was for December). $2.08 per SC...

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    I was on 480SC and Silver and took 2 flights (15SC+30SC). when they posted the points a day later it showed me at 525SC with 45SC/400SC towards maintaining gold. not entirely sure what happened, I suspect I was randomly bumped up to Gold after the flights but before the points were posted.
