    Award Reservation Booked but Not ticketed

    I booked a redemption flight last Thursday but it doesn't seem to have ticketed yet. Points are still showing in my account and haven't received an e-ticket yet. Don't normally fly Qantas so not sure if it's a regular issue or something I need to try and chase up? Booked my Virgin flight at...

    Pricing anomaly ["Taxes" added AFTER selecting Flights]

    Just booked a ticket with VA and noticed something odd with the pricing on their website. I selected a freedom fare which was priced at $683 after selecting it added $300 in taxes and fees (3 pax) which I thought was odd as I've never seen that before. Called the Platinum line and was told that...

    Diamond status downgraded due to system error.

    Not sure if this had happened to anyone else? I achieved diamond in June this year, when I checked my account yesterday it had downgraded to silver overnight. A few emails and a Phone call this morning and it's back to diamond. Apparently it's a system glitch and accounts are randomly being...

    A330 downgrade to 737

    Seems every time I book the business on a Sunday night from Sydney to Perth the aircraft gets swapped out for a 737. I know the 330's will almost disappear from this route but what's the point in continuing to sell the business if you can't support the service!

    Domestic checked Baggage

    Has anyone else noticed that check in agents have gotten a bit more strict with checked baggage? 3 times in the last 2 weeks I have been told my bags are over weight (24, 24.5 and 25.5kg) each time I pointed out the WP allowance and was told that is correct but it is a max of 23kg per bag and...

    Equipment swap

    I'm booked on the 1300 Mel - Per flight, booked myself business class on an A330. 0645 this morning I got a call informing me that the aircraft had been swapped to a 737 - but don't worry you are still flying business class. I don't really consider the 737 business offering in the same league...

    Platinum with Air NZ

    There's probably a thread already answering this. I'm heading to NZ next week does anyone have any experience of Velocity Platinum flyers get any additional benefits with Air NZ such as row 3 seating or am I better flying with VA. Flying from PER and Air NZ are the only direct flight but if I'm...

    Perth Airport International and VA A330

    Interesting statement on the Perth airport website "The $100 million expansion of the international departures area has commenced and will give the airport the capacity to take the Airbus A380 and Virgin Australia’s A330 in 2014." I wonder why they would need to accommodate VA's 330 in the...

    Emirates Status Match

Got a reply back today saying they would give me gold status once I have booked and completed a Business class trip with them.

    Cost of flights in October

    Just been looking at flights from the UK to Australia and they all appear to be about $900 more than usual. I know the Grand Prix is on in AUH shortly so that will push up VA/EY prices but even routes through the Far East are up. Anyone any ideas why this might be? And more importantly anyone...
