Argh I missed the boat on SQ transfer. What are the besy options still available?

Was just offered a status match challenge to Gold. 200 SCs in 90 days. As I'm booked on. A flexible J class to LAX on Thursday, that's 200 SC on my first flight. The question is, how many more would I then need for platinum ?

just trying to figure out eligibility of VA WP status on Air NZ flights. Flying Business from Sydney to LAX via Auckland on a straight Air NZ booking. I know VA have an alliance but not sure if it only covers trans Tasman codeshares. Can anyone clarify whether my VA status is worth anything on...

I am a WP flying J on VA6 and VA7 in the coming weeks with connections to/from ORD on Virgin America F. Any tips regarding lounge access at LAX? What amenities exist at the lounge before the Virgin America flight?

Hi Everyone, Back in August I booked 2 JS tickets From Australia to Europe on Etihad.com. JS tickets can be refunded or changes for a fee. Anyway, looking now, same route, class, flights and dates are available on Etihad.com for ~$1,500 less for both tickets. What's the best way to tackle...

Also got the survey. I'm Plat with mostly J trips to either Europe on EY code shares or US on VA metal, with monthly domestic trips between SYD/BNE/NTL/MEL in Y (who needs J for a 1 hour flight?!). Really I think they could take a tip from Delta with their view to handling high tier elites...

I've just Pm'd you VFF. Retro really need to get their act together, between my dealings with them and the many threads here, they seem completely lost.

Having gone from platinum to gold and back to platinum in the last three cyckds, I have found my return to platinum VA CS is like dealing with a different, inferior airline. Im still waiting on VA ticketed EY J class flight from April 11 to be credited. First attempt at retro was rejected...

I also found that Delta perks were better than VA for velocity. I had a similar trip and reported here http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/virgin-australia-velocity/flying-across-us-va-wp-67278.html Delta really go the extra mile while VA were fairly indifferent throughout. I...

I've been trying to book a hotel online with points for 2 days. Keep getting the error message "Sorry, we are unable to process your Velocity details right now...."

Hi VFF, Just wondering what dates the new J cabin will be available for SYD-LAX-SYD and SYD-AUH-SYD routes? I've some US travel coming up and I think the new J cabin will be something that would sway me to a VA metal flight over Delta elys

Definitely row 11, though I think there is always the chance of a young crying baby in front of you.

So I recently flew return to the US on a VA/V Ameica/Delta itinerary. Because I wanted to avoid a redeye trans US return flight, I flew SYD-LAX-BOS-LAX-BNE-NTL. It's the first time in a while I've flown the trans pacific route as I had been covering the European routes the past year and my...

I have two BPs near me, I generally go to the easiest place to get fuel as I need it, provided it supplied 98 Octane. Was at BP today and the guy at the till said that this comes into play next thursday. 2 points per litre is pretty miserable to the point that it would take over 75 refuels of...

Hi VFF, thanks, the SCs and points were credited today. Ekys

Yeah, I called Velocity today, agent told me yes he can see my ticket but doesn't know what happened and why I didn't get SCs. Told me to leave it with him and he'd fix it. I wonder what is a reasonable amount of time before calling back.

Hi VFF, Just returned from US on VA08. I used 45K miles to upgrade my paid PE ticket to J. 30 Mar 15 30 Mar 15 International Upgrade - Premium Y Deal to Business 0 -45,000 0 -45,000 My trans-US Delta flight has just credited but my VA flight has the following: 03 Apr 15 01 Apr 15 Los...

Not sure if this is better suited here or in VFF, but I suspect that the answer isn't immediately clear anyway. I've just made VA WP again in March and I'm sitting on 1410 SCs In the next 2 months I have the following flights: Full fare trans US Delta flight ~40 SCs (unsure of exact award - I...

In SYD EY lounge. Very nice and overall I like it more than ANZ. Only at brekkie tho, see how it compares at dinner time in a couple of weeks. On a side note, the TV is on with the headline "One Direction Depression - how to help your teenager deal with grief". They are interviewing a grief...

Thanks guys, beginning to regret the upcoming AUH to SYD bookings on VA metal over EY now. :(
