Re: Anyone missing their status credits since the new system upgrade? I've still got SCs, but my SCs required to maintain WP have been reset to 800. Sectors required are okay (0). Anyone heard anything official as to when this will be fixed?

Interesting developments... I am about to book a status run (60 SCs to retain WP), will probably wait until the 13th now. Was considering PER-ADL, the return via MEL so will see how that affects the costs and SC earn. Will all be flexis as Mrs Geek doesn't do "steerage" any more, should have...

I would be interested in that also. Booked on MEL-LST (and return) in a couple of weeks. Have never seen a seat map, only get window/aisle preference. Very interested in the T-80 thing too - sounds great!!

Good luck with that. I've done DJ Premium Economy MEL-AKL - pretty underwhelmed, especially after PER-MEL J. The Air NZ lounge in MEL is pretty good though. Back on topic, 100% of my business travel is domestic so I will probably miss VA. Private travel will continue to be with VA for the next...

That's just the sort of taxation I prefer - around 14%.

I stand uncorrected: There are so many good wines from the Barossa but it’s not just the Shiraz that should steal the limelight because the red blends of region are seriously worth seeking out. This is a blend of Grenache Shiraz and Touriga and shows spice, intensity and a savoury core. Shiraz...

I stand corrected...

Have you been since it was extended? Loads more seating, but sadly no improvement to the food/drink facilities.

I guess it's the PER lounge I'll miss the most, I've heard the PER QP is "flouro city". Now that ATA is snafu I can't even sneak in for a quick toastie and glass of GST (a very nice drop by the way).

My company has just switched prefered airlines from VA to QF, effective from 1st October. Over the past year I've earnt BOS Platinum with VA and have only 200 SCs required to re-qualify (I'm not overly worried about getting these in before the switch as my anniversary date is in March 2013 and...

But can you book the 2-4-1 deal from the Virgin Flyer CC??

I did this myself recently MEL-PER. The only sticky bit is that you book the flights via Virgin (flexi to enable the upgrade availability) but you arrange the upgrade through Velocity. If you leave it too late there may not be any J seats left - not very likely SYD/MEL-PER as its the A332 and...

Had a quick shout around the office - everyone who is a Gold or Platinum has received the bonus upgrade - Nice!! (all of us are BIS, we have to do it the hard way) I'm assuming it will be the same T's and C's for the platinum comp upgrades - have to be done from a flexi fare. With half price...

Re: Itinerary Change PER-MEL - Shouldn't I be informed? [Email received finally] Finally received an email notification of the schedule/itinerary change: "We'd like to thank you for making a booking with Virgin Australia and let you know that your Travel Plan has been altered since you made...

They probably say the same about AFF...

Re: Australia's Best DOMESTIC BUSINESS CLASS - the new Virgin A330 I reccommend the port with the cheese platter - a bloody good drop!! I do tend to agree with the OP with regard to the headrest - at 187cm it's difficult to get in right position, mind you after a few cognacs you don't really...

Just received an update email, with the following: "Lounge entry policy update Effective 15 August 2012, Velocity Frequent Flyer Gold and Platinum members will require same-day travel with Virgin Australia or one of its airline partners in order to access the Virgin Australia lounge before...

Nope, nothing in the spam folder (apart from a Dan Murphy's promotion). If it was a business trip I would probably would have had meetings or training arranged around the arrival time - so yes, as much advance notice as possible please!!

I've recently booked a weekend in Melbourne with my lovely wife, her birthday and a bonus status run to boot (should get me over the line to re-qualify platinum). I originally booked the Friday 0830 flight out or PER, it's the Airbus and gets us into MEL at a reasonable time. I recieved an...

I agree. The only time I've used ATA was to say goodbye to my son (who was flying VA anyway). Still a bit miffed!! There's another couple of weeks to go before it's gone forever - Party in the PER lounge anyone??!?
