Another source for the story: SriLankan Airlines partners with Virgin Australia - DailyNews Looks to be interlining only, but while it would be much much better if there were some FF benefits, this is still good, since QF has a habit of cancelling the onward domestic, leaving pax languishing in...

YMMV but this is still the case for me.

I’ve had an email the day before departure for recent flights when it was open (5-7am Monday to Friday IIRC)

I agree on the first part. The last few times I’ve been through MEL they called the flights way too early. It’s annoying to go to the gate when called only to have a 15 minute wait before boarding starts. Priority boarding should make things more convenient, but there's no need to stroke the...

I’ve always found that my time is better spent in the lounge rather than on the plane or in a boarding queue, however ‘priority’ branded. Board as late as possible; disembark as early as possible. 🙂 So the flight should be called by lounge staff at such a time when an easy saunter to the gate...

Give it a week. IIRC it was a slightly random ‘Status Review’ day for me; something like the Tuesday after the flight that took me close to the threshold.

No queue for coffee this morning, and premium entry open too. Moral of the story is get there earlier (for SYD at least).

Today.

That’s common with VA. See this thread: Early status upgrade to VFF Gold - what should I do?

Exactly the point I was making in my post which was hived off into a new thread. I arrived 08:40 for an 09:30 - no queue at all.

Bean to cup machine for SG, barista coffee for WP + J pax and everyone is happy 😁 [ducks]

Didn’t check today, but judging by the queue it would be a no.

Longer wait for coffee in the SYD lounge this morning than for (regular) security. Maybe we need a premium coffee cart. WP benefit? 😉 😂 (some better than mediocre coffee would be nice too)

A couple of months ago as I was leaving the KrisFlyer Gold lounge in SIN a couple approached with small child. I heard the man ask if he could take his partner and child in based on his status. They left disappointed. FWIW, unless you want a shower (and have time to wait 30+ mins for it) there...

Still a step in the right direction!

I have seen flights with this promo code recently where J was all of $2.44 more expensive than Lite, and cheaper than Choice. As well as lots where no Lite is available and J is the cheapest seat on the plane. It makes no sense, but I'll take it!

Even better if you happen to be WP and are going to be sitting in EconX with the family anyway. Prizes are pretty niche for a number of the weeks, though, unless you happen to be a raving AFL fan. https://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en/book/middle-seat-lottery/terms-conditions/

OK, they've given 2 days notice, but that's quite the 'scheduled outage'. It affects the app, too.

These upgrades seem pretty pointless at the moment. If you have enough flexibility to book a flight with J award availability, you'll find that the J cash fare on that flight is cheaper than the Y Flex fare anyway. So it's a 100% useless 'benefit' at the moment IMO. It was different when they...

Isn't this the old transfer security point? Always used to be a good option.
