No chance basically on the NZ side of things The only business awards NZ opens up to partners is the occasional DPS/PVG/HKG/NRT-AKL

I believe Virgin America fly all of those routes direct. If I were you I'd fly VX and credit it to VA.

As a follow up, in the last week or two I have used DL skyclubs in LAX, ATL(x2), ORD, JFK, SLC and RDU no issues at all. Staff at RDU had never seen a Velocity card before but after they looked it up I was allowed in no dramas.

Did this a while ago, go to the D gates first (ie clear TSA there) then when you want to go to your gate let TSA know at the checkpoint you came thorough first and they can swipe you through a secret door! It was actually really easy, the TSA there seem used to it

But VA elites can use the AB exclusive waiting areas :D

re: Happy Hour returns Wooo! Bring on some more $200 J Class sales ;)

I flew it once on the ATR and the load was good, but as we know 1 day is not a big enough sample, and high loads don't always equal profit.

I did DPS-PHE on VARA a while back, and they even had a stack of Jakarta Post's which was a nice change :eek:

Just present your card when you check-in for your Hawaiian airlines flight, they'll add it to the reservation

Definitely take the Sepulveda parking spot shuttle, and tip your driver!

The T&Cs have been updated to say that the SM is only valid for residents of the UAE.

I travel that route quite often no problems at all. The issue is that only one or two of the desks at T3 have a passport reader in them, which is what is required for the international checkin. I've been told that when they move to T1 that this will no longer be an issue.

There is a bulkhead there, which restricts legroom. The seat is the same.

There is a trip report about this flight on a.net, and it says "This proceeded into a 30 minute conversation where I found out that the VA crew actually dead head on a Malaysian Airlines flight from SYD into KUL and vice versa."

Maybe taking over for Cosgrove once Bryce finishes up as GG?

May be a sign of VA starting to do a QF style 'marginal' ASA. I'd like it if they did that :cool:

That's interesting. She'll be on Air New Zealand from LAX - AKL in any case, as they are the only carrier that fly that route direct. You may find it is a codeshare on United, so her bags should be checked straight through from DSM.

Can you use them for a short VA domestic flight?

Hi Chris, I'd recommend posting it up here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WAAircraftSpotters/ The guys there have some incredible knowledge!

VA don't use pins for velocity? I usually get asked for my address, email address and date of birth.
