Hi All, Live in Sydney but I have an 11am VA flight (J reward) out of ADL to another domestic destination. I need a positioning flight SYD-ADL (Y paid) and there is a 6:45-8:30 or an 8:40-10:25. I know the 6:45 is the safest option but don't really want an extra 2 hours in a lounge (and the...

With the advancement of airframes and the lengthening of ranges, what are peoples thoughts on a direct non-stop Perth-London (or some other port in Europe) flight? I guess at the moment there are issues with the airport not having capacity or a suitable alternative in case of bad weather (can...

I have been Privilege Executive for a while but have been using a corporate rate code rather than the privilege code as I believed my corporate rate code gave me a better deal. However now that I am an Elite I wanted to check if the 30% Elite discount (+ that I am over 25) would give me a...

Looking at the VA source, VA has been doing a few charters to Boolgeeda airport (Boolgeeda @ OurAirports) using their 738s. I have never seen a 738 land on dirt/gravel... is this something done regularly?

Hi All, First time transiting through Singapore Airport and I have a couple of questions. We arrive from Hanoi at 17:30 and then leave for Sydney at 20:30. Will we be able to access the Gold lounge in that time frame? Also where would be the best place to buy some duty free spirits? Hanoi or...

Hi All, Going from Hanoi to Sydney via Singapore on the 31st Dec and looking at the leg from HAN-SIN (SQ175) there are only 4 free seats to choose and none seated together (my wife and I are travelling together). Any suggestions on getting around this? Will calling and pushing that I am a VA...

Wanting to fly to Auckland for a weekend and be back for work on Monday, but the latest VA/NZ flight I can find is 5:30pm, and the only other later flight is a 6pm Emirates flight. Given these land in Syd a long time before the curfew, whats the reason why there are no later flights out of AKL?

"Virgin Australia this week launched a trial of the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 on selected flights, marking the beginning of the airline’s Phase One inflight entertainment plans. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be trialled in the Business Class cabin of selected flights on Boeing 737 and...

Hi All, I am flying SYD-BNK on Monday to deliver something to someone at the airport (almost cheaper than using a courier and there are double SCs at the moment!). Only issue was that it looks as though Virgin only has one plane in/out a day. I am on DJ1141 arriving at 1535 and then back home...

Anybody have any experiences of Qantas matching their Virgin status? I am a recent WP with Virgin but sometimes fly with Qantas and wouldn't mind lounge access plus other benefits.

Hi Guys, I have some feedback (pos and neg) to pass on to Virgin and have typed a fairly comprehensive email covering all of the points I want to pass on. However this doesn't fit into the online feedback form. I have called the Priority Velocity call centre who advised there is no email...

I know it is against the QFF terms and conditions, but has anyone had any experience 'selling' their QFF points. I only have a lowly amount that is probably only worth a couple of hundred dollars (but maybe 4-5 SYD-MEL flights) but I am really enjoying Virgin at the moment and don't want them...

So I am flying MEL-OOL in J with my wife on Tuesday, which happens to be Valentines Day. While we don't really celebrate Valentine's Day I thought it would be nice to maybe have a card (or a flower) on her seat upon boarding. Before I call Velocity tomorrow does anyone have any experience in...

Hi All, Fairly new to these forums but I need some advice. Current situation: Me - 522sc (Gold) renewal date Jan '13 but a few SC expiring in April this year Wife - 440sc (Silver) renewal date Jan '13 We mostly fly together or me alone, not really her alone. So basically I need 400sc to...

Hi All, I am arriving into PER from SIN with SQ at 2:40pm and am flying from PER to SYD at 11pm with DJ. To save lugging my luggage around to dinner with some friends, is it possible to get to the domestic terminal and either check in or use bag drop early? I am flying J if that makes a...

Hi all... Long time lurker, first time poster. I am currently silver but will be gold in a couple of weeks. I still have my two lounge passes that expire in April, and I am traveling with my wife and family early next year. If I guest my wife in with my gold membership, can I then guest my...
