    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1 - Significant negative changes from Dec 1

    Yeh will be cancelling too ... would people be recommending the AMEX? for $349 and a free return flights seems to earn its value?

    1 hr connection AKL

    Thanks all. Hopefully my little time saving idea doesn't backfire. It's the first flight of the day out of CHC so there isn't an option for longer connection times :S

    1 hr connection AKL

    Hi all I'm going to be doing a flight on NZ, namely flying into CHC - AKL - ADL. VA's website offers a flight with a one hour connection time. I would prefer this option over the Australian transit options as it is the shortest time and I don't have to fluff around collecting baggage in two...

    VA/SQ code share booking out of CBR

    Hi all Just wondering if anyone has had any success in booking flights using either the SQ or VA website out of cities which aren't serviced directly (say for example CBR....) I've booked flights previously out of ADL on the direct ADL-SIN flight fine on the SQ and VA sites. Trying to book an...

    ITA Matrix fares and airfare engines that use same platform

    Are these on SQ/VA? I've been looking myself for that period. I can't seem to reproduce them and FC is telling me the fare buckets are exhausted. Haven't really looked in further detail. Let me know if you figure it out as I'm in the same boat myself.

    DJ losing their lustre?

    Had a 7/8J ADL/SYD. CSM was shockingly efficient, lacked a bit of enthusiasm but it was evident she was quite senior and had probably been doing it for a while. Managed to look after all of J and went to Y to welcome status pax Then again I've had some quite enthusiastic but perhaps less...

    Points upgrade question.

    Hi I just tried to time change a flexi upgrade with points - the lady said I had to cancel my current booking and call up with the new PNR to get a new upgrade processed. She said I would get a full refund of the $$ and points. This is contrary to the fare conditions. What have other people...

    "Bonus Confirmed Complimentary Upgrade"?

    Was advised by CS that DPS and HKT don't usually release availability for upgrade redemption fares. That being said, J was 7/8 and full J fares are $1k+ so quite impressed there... Pretty sure TT have upgrades though (but who would want to PE!)

    Taking Junior to School

    Im pretty sure the PE meals are Y meals ... only difference was asked at beginning of flight for meal choices and then hand delivered (foil on) instead of using trolley. Could do with an improvement.

    This might sound like a rookie post, but...suggest me a holiday!

    Hawaii/Alaska for a bit of contrast Jordan and/or Turkey/Greece/Islands/Egypt and if you are adventurous: Georgia/Azerbaijan My next little out of there adventure ... Nepal and Bhutan. No idea why but I just think it would be cool and completely different.

    "Bonus Confirmed Complimentary Upgrade"?

    I almost miss the virgin fanbois after constantly reading moaning and complaining. The point of competition/loyalty is that there is always another product to go to if you are dissatisfied!

    Any recent experience with DJ for HKT/PER or vice versa in "J"?

    Did a DPS to SYD (~6hrs) redeye. Ate food, slept and woke up in SYD. Wasn't the best position to sleep in but easily sufficed but I was too tired to care really. Make her run around for a whole day and sleep deprive her until the flight - guarantee she will get a sound sleep. Pity can't lift...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I did that too but ADL/SYD was on a rogue. Have a look at my photos in july.

    Why are VA flights slowing down?

    Flying slower does not necessarily save fuel - it actually costs more fuel to travel the same distance! There are optimal speeds to fly at for best fuel consumption vs distance traveled, though these are always bound by ATC directives. Also note ATC does not bias between airlines - to them each...
