    Int'l point redemption error

    Incredibly frustrating to say the least when many people will be making travel plans for the Christmas holidays. Not happy VA! :evil:

    OOL Lounge

    Good to put some faces to the names and it's the best place to relax before a weather delayed OOL flight. Thanks to Zowie & the lounge angels for their hospitality. I promise to keep ATA whistle stop visits to a bare minimum. :p

    Near enough good enough?

    Yes it's just happened to me this week. Same scenario 5 SC short & happily bumped up to Gold although I do have flights booked in the next month anyway. Hopefully lady luck is on your side too.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Re: Virgin Australia Business Class Catering Flown this route a couple of times & received dinner service. Most recent was pasta meat balls, bread roll, salad, macadamia chocolates. Apparently no ice cream sandwich on flights <3hrs so the CSM gave me Toblerone instead. Beer choice of Crown or...

    Virgin "enhances" redemptions, changes to points + pay

    Re: Very cheap business class points + pay redemptions So if AFF or other frequent flyers hadn't noticed these significant changes then VA wouldn't have made any announcement at all? With all due respect that simply isn't good enough. It is not so much the changes that have upset some...

    5xbonus at BP 'til 31Dec2011[Ext.to 31Mar2012 - now closed]

    Re: 5xbonus at BP 'til 31Dec2011[Ext.to 31Mar2012] Must register your card. That's correct, I went through the same process it works with Qantas but not Velocity. No worries as I'm happy to redeem the extra points for QFF JASAs. As a sidenote I don't think BP are worried about profits if my...

    Flightfox, your thoughts?

    Question - what's to stop a dishonest flyer from saying they're not satisfied & then going ahead with the booking anyway in order to avoid the finder's fee?

    Who changed my pre-allocated seat and why?

    FWIW last weekend I had pre-allocated 1A only to be advised by the lounge angel that I was seated in 1C... she could see that I had pre-allocated but could only say that it must've been allocated to another pax. Anyway on board I discovered that 1A was vacant so ended up sitting there after all...

    Here's a quick summary of my J flights. :) OOL-MEL - Priority boarding worked well, walked straight past the massive lineup that stretched beyond Hungry Jack's. Warmly greeted by the lead FA, pre-departure offered OJ & water + newspapers. Amenity kit was on my seat & only me in J in new BSI...

    Business Class Trip Report

    Interesting reading the various feedback as I'll be travelling J over the weekend. Agreed that there should be clearly defined meal times as well as more substantial "gourmet" snack options. Will report back on my experiences plus a OOL lounge update.

    Business Class Trip Report

    Correct, OOL airport bosses have said previously they don't see it as a priority as it would drive up costs & possibly drive away the LCC airlines... I'm sure there have been more recent articles but this will do for now. New Gold Coast Airport very GC Opinion | goldcoast.com.au | Gold Coast...

    Booking one-way Los Angeles to Melbourne

    Unfortunately DJ ASAs don't earn SC & points despite some outrageously high points redemptions. :(

    Business class Launch [Double SC Promo - Ended 29 Feb 12]

    Received my "exclusive" offer today as well. Seems like their marketing team have deliberately scheduled the email for today.

    The Virgin Status Run Master Thread

    OOL-MEL is a favourite of mine - zone 2 so it works out at $4.24 per SC.

    OOL Priority Queue

    When I've walked past it hasn't been crowded but I mostly fly out first thing in the morning so it may get busier later on. Not really an issue anyway since I use OLCI & travel light.
