Hi all Just a quick question on Lounge access for Virgin Partner, Delta. I'm a VA Gold and will be flying Delta to go from Las Vegas to San Diego and wanted to know if I am able to access the Delta Sky Club lounge in San Diego on my arrival? I know I can do this domestically at the moment...

Hi guys was just calculating the SC's I'd earn on an upcoming trip in the USA. Part of it involves flying VAmerica from Newark, NJ to Las Vegas however I cannot select Newark as the Origin with Las Vegas as the destination. Does anyone know why? Is it because this trip doesn't earn SC's??

Hi all I am wondering if anyone has had any experience using Delta Business Class before? I am trying to keep majority of my flights VAmerica but my trip from Las Vegas to San Diego doesn't seem to be an option on VAmerica. Anyway be nice to hear your thoughts ciao

Hi good AFF folk :) Hope you're all not suffering too much from Mondayitis... I get over it by using Monday as home office day ... am open to the lashings that may come from saying that though haha! Anyway I am planning some internal flights in the USA in July and plan to use Virgin America...

Hi all Will be doing a flight to either San Fran or San Diego in July and wanting to try out Air NZ - as VA Gold I am wondering if anyone would be so kind as to share their experiences on this if you've done this sector... or even just Air NZ in general. I've seen the cool looking air safety...

Hi guys Just wondering (and apologies if this has been answered but I am pressed for time), am I able to access the lounge if a partner is flying Virgin that day even though I am not flying? thank you !

Hi all I am a VA Gold status member and flying on partner benefits with Singapore from Melbourne to Manila with a short (1 hour) stopover in Singapore. I am wondering if anyone else in this situation has found it worthwhile to visit the lounges for a freshening up so to speak or is it going to...

Saw this on the Flymefunky facebook page "Virgin Australia switched reservation systems over the weekend with Gold frequent flyers no longer being able to select Row 3. Not happy Jan." Is that true? I was about to book some flights for later this year and actually liked the fact that I could...

Hi folks I've made a business class booking using points plus $$. Does this mean I am guaranteed seats 1 or 2? It's on DJ 845 and I couldn't find the site people use here to check each aircraft's configuration. Also I saw some other posts about a business class booking getting row 15. I'm VA...

Anyone else stuck in the lounge due to today's flight 'engineering' problem?

Firstly, apologies, no I am not in the lounge right now - but though I will be tomorrow (Sydney, at about 1:30-2:30pm) Anyway here it is for people to start putting in their details if they want it to be known they are in. Thanks to 777 for the idea so please do not credit me... I don't want...

Hi guys I'll be returning from Sydney next week but won't have my Velocity Gold card as it hasn't been delivered yet. Am I still able to access the priority entrance to go straight into the lounge without it, perhaps by being able to produce my ID or a printed copy of my booking? Has anyone...

Hi guys how's it going? Hope you're not getting too drenched in whatever city you're in! So we have an upcoming work project that will involve some weeks away in the UAE, however part of that will also require time in Kabul, Afghanistan. Now the logistics are still being worked out but I just...

Morning folks, So I finally ticked over to Gold last night (took a while with my only trips this year being MEL-SYD-MEL). Anyway, I have a few flights already booked as a Silver member, do I get Gold perks on these upcoming flights or is it based on what my status was at the time? Sorry if...

Hi guys Hope you're all geared up for another work week! Anyway I will be upgrading to Gold after flights this week assuming the powers that be keep it to 500 SC required. As a current Silver I also purchased Lounge membership utilising a combination of points plus a few $$$. Now I was...

Hi folks Hope we're all doing well, I know I'm quite sleepy at the moment considering a massive exec lunch:p Anyway my partner and I are travelling together in June and she doesn't have any status with Virgin. I am a current silver but will be gold when we fly. I was looking at the Gold...

Hi fellow AFF members, I have perused the forums (especially Velocity) quite a bit over the past few months but I thought I should stop being rude and do the nice formal intro and basically say G'day. I'm back and forth between Melbourne (home) and Sydney every week for work purposes and have...

If I'm picking up my girlfriend from the airport but not travelling myself, am I able to access the lounge at all or is it only meant to be when I fly? cheers :p
