I live in tassie, i can tell you that the premier has made it extremely clear he doesn’t care about tourism. He wants to build buildings. Tourism is not a factor like a number of other markets. Unfortunately I wouldn’t be planning anything. He’s also stated that he will be the last one in the...

Hi Guys, its that time again, i am looking at heading to NAD (Fiji) in January.. I have not been on an international short haul Virgin plane in a while. I normally just fly business/premium. Have these planes been upgraded? What does the new seats look like? Are the old ones still kicking...

I asked that today. Phil Gunter directly offered my wife the partner status (due to my status in the airline). Unfortunately it's still going on behind the scenes, but it's not going anywhere.. Which means i just probably need to get a little grumpy. At the time of the acceptance i had more then...

honestly i actually don't know how we both have the same review date. Her original date is may mine was november. However last year we both got changed to Aug 25.. I believe it's there process they used to set it all up. Velocity actually looked into exactly that, and why someone in velocity...

thats exactly right. There is a gap now. There is no gap if i move the points around and family pool into the different accounts. But if you are gifting there is a gap. My wife was the first or within the first few that got gifted Platinum.. The process they are using is simply stupid. If i...

So i thought i would warn everyone on my experience today. I am a very very regular flyer, (3000+ status credits).. Our review date was 9th september. Last year i gave the wife complimentary platinum.. Anyhow after the review period a month ago she dropped to gold, i called up to have her given...

Anyone been to Fiji (or probably on any of the Pacific Blue fleet) recently? Looking at taking a flight to Nadi in about 3 weeks in PE (or J) and just curious if there has been any changes to the air craft layout/design/offering? Cheers JD

i don't think saying all the status matched golds dropping off is a fair statement. Please correct me if i am wrong but. If they are platinum they will drop to GOLD for the next 12 months. Hence they would have still received ATA.

actually there are lots of op ups occuring.. I had an extremely apologetic (but not that she did it on the flight) CS, flying from BNE - SYD lunch time. I got moved out of my 1A seat (checked-in) shouldn't have been moved. Got put into 2F. Anyhow i got served last, got my meal which i had for no...

My feet are really appreciative now that I don't have people wandering around standing on top of me up the front. Unfortunately not everyone using a front toilet has the sense to be quiet to the business passengers. The way they have done it works.

QF codeshare puts you on Air Pacific Business. Done that a few times. (will never do again). Planes are worse then VA, Babies are placed right behind business and small families. The service is shocking on Air Pacific. Lounges at Fiji end is a few couches and no food but you can have a drink. I...

i do it often with the family, however i would only do it on points + pay. Seats are stock standard, no special food (at least last time in late jan), old planes.. No lounge access on either end.. (short haul pacific does not give access to lounges).. Even having top status with them, gets...

So Virgin Australia i have a question, because your change i believe impacts me greatly. I Fly only business and platinum. I travel to Fiji very often for holidays. In saying that last trip i took 13 bags across 4 people flying in business. Total weight of 130KG.. There is normally no charge...

I doubt it.. Thinking it's still June! Here's the details of the catering, they put the ad out for staff.. Food & Beverage Attendants – Virgin Australia Lounge Gold Coast We are seeking talented Food & Beverage Attendants to join our Team at the Virgin Australia Lounge on the Gold Coast, due to...

VA have lost so far about 5K worth of flights from my business and myself, because of the new policy. (It all went to Q) as we could not arrange seats on planes (even travelling between bne-mel) as they were 737-700 planes.. I am sure i will get the why don't you book a Y but the fact is VA lost...

My usual breakdown flying last year say for November monthly Va all in PE W class fares about 20 flights qantas J class about 6-8 where VA couldn't offer what I wanted. international is mixed between Nz and sq depends on local and where I Am going. Domestically been flying va for a long time...

If i want to to buy a J ticket and there's not one available, then i take a different flight. It's my choice on how i book and pay for tickets. Saying that i should have just taken a Y ticket doesn't make alot of sense, and it doesn't make alot of sense to VA either as i am willing to pay for a...

in my view there is no pissing competition. I simply put some stated facts on the table, so that i can show that the claims that Business class passengers are hating the fact the seats are wrong on some aircraft, is simply NOT true. Thats all. When people make statements on open forums like...

i have to admit I am starting to get really sick and tired of the rubbish being spread about Virgin on these threads in the past week or so. Really and truly, this is just personality coming through there is NO substance to these negative hype it's really sad. I've taken my third business class...

Re: Virgin Business Class Lottery - now 0 for 2. Pay for Business, get Premium Econom i took 2 business class flights today with VA (BNE-MEL-BNE) I fly extremely regularly and this was my first "business" flights ive taken this year (back to work this week). (3-5 J class tickets a week mostly)...
