When Virgin parts ways with airline partners what is usual forward notice given to members? I forget what the deal was with Delta etc. As I recall a date was given where all Delta flights no longer got Virgin SC and points etc. Same with earlier partners. Not sure whether that was 3 months...

Getting SC for any booked connecting flights works, when Virgin changes one onto direct fights? Booked a SYD-OOL-CNS for tomorrow as 35 SC each, not 20 each on directs, as price was similar, and connections good. Seats 3D/3F booked on both – all good Virgin later cancelled the OOL-CNS flights...

I gifted a Gold membership to a friend who flies out today to Europe on Etihad on an expensive $2,500 one way 'B' fare bucket ticket. I suggested he take his pal who was driving him to airport into the SYD Virgin lounge as a permitted 'guest' for a coffee or beer first, and he went across to...

https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/member-support/media-centre/2022/virgin-australia-group-announces-partnership-with-qatar-airways As far as I can see the official Velocity wording above from 3 months back is 'later in 2022' - has anyone seen or heard anything more specific? Have a...

With the advent of LITE fares that say 'no checked baggage' is included, has anyone found Priority check in lines cut a break on this if asked nicely, or is it strictly enforced? With staff there will always be one-off exceptions granted, often with things like this for Platinums etc, but...

Can't recall seeing that aberration before. Has anyone? Have seen discount Biz lower than Flex often, but never this. Booked it, before the computer changed its mind! Still showing same fare. Better connections MEL-SYD were there, that I'll try and use on the day at check-in via 'Flying...

Anyone think they might add another few months on these for Choice fares and above? The double status credits period has been extended as I recall, and pax numbers not yet up to pre COVID figures of course, so any chance do others think?

Had only glanced at the headline tab on website in the past to see this, and assumed it was for any 6 family at same address - Pool up to 6 family members A family pool can consist of a max of 6 family members living at the same address* Never had the issue to consider before, as my wife pools...

Have flown Etihad many times to Europe in Biz and loved the lounges. :) Do Virgin Gold members get Etihad lounge access if flying on Etihad issued tickets with EH fight numbers? Have a relative who has been stuck in Russia for many months and desperately wants to get home - for obvious...

Virgin very kindly swapped our nicely upgraded 737 seats, BME-PER June 27 for an A320. :(:( PER-BME is still allegedly a 737. We already changed our dates due to a similar aircraft swap out to a Fokker and A320 PER-BME-PER, losing $2000 in Broome resort forfeit fees, and Virgin swapping over...

Was very handy direct access from the Valet parking and the instant and private security booth. Due to COVID could see the rationale in leaving it closed but any whispers WHEN it will open up again?

Last flight I did to Broome was the direct from SYD. Those were the days. :D Booked SYD-PER-BROOME for June 11/16 and good 1 stop connection in Perth and all upgrades were in place on 737s all legs. Hotel all booked at double Sydney Hilton rates .. that is Broome sadly and all non cancellable...

I barely use Fly Buys so do not follow all the promos sadly. Those here will know I am sure. :) But am I reading it correct that spending $100 a time at Bunnings using my FlyBuys card which is linked to Velocity, gets one SC per $100 spent? Doing some extensive renos here, so down there each...

Always wanted to visit both Christmas Island and Cocos Islands and this might be the time. Can book it on Virgin from Perth, and that takes 8 hours to Christmas Island via Learmonth and Cocos Island stops. Will book it as a Business award ex SYD but of course the A320 is a one class - anyone...

I must have been a Virgin Plat for 10 years or so. Partner ditto. Qantas have well-defined Lifetime status targets for Lifetime Gold and Plat etc. Most airlines do. I cannot recall ever seeing any Virgin equivalent - is there? I got Lifetime Star Alliance Gold for me and a partner many...

. Been on the phone for over 30 minutes so faster to ask here I am sure. :D Used my 4 and wife still has 4 and as I recall the flights needed to be taken by end March for these to work on ANY bookable fare? Or maybe they have extended it a bit seeing border entry is still a weekly lottery...

Not one staffer at check-in or gates in SYD and ADL this week when I took flights were wearing masks in the midst of this pandemic, (see my photo nearby) and when asked why, was told “the company says it is not compulsory for us”. We were wearing masks, as of course anyone sensible right now...

. Kind of bitter sweet to just get this in inbox, now BAIN have removed near any benefits of having Status. Used to get excited to see this each year! Hardly took a flight, like many here I am sure. Be interesting what BAIN and HRDLICKER decide to do going forward with Status periods. As I...

Do the airlines not need to refuse ticketing to pax who clearly should not be flying home in a few days, if that arrival state has 14 days Quarantine laws? Virgin keep offering me time changes to accept for a fight this weekend. Same days, just different flights. They have emailed me the...
