This is a bit left field, but wondering if anyone here has had any experience with the following and can provide guidance. Flying Thai Air (BKK-DPS) next month and then (same day) flying Virgin Australia (DPS-MEL). Both flights booked separately. I know that TG & VA are not partner airlines...

Question for the AFF gurus. Think I know the answer but just double checking, If you have a VA Business Flyer account does the employee earn both SC’s (at the usual mileage rate) and FF points for flights purchased by the business provided they have a Velocity FF number? I think they do, but...

Quick question to all the gurus. Couldn't find anything listed on the AFF forums, so apologies if there is an answer somewhere here. Yesterday (8 June 2019), there was a grey plane (not sure of type as we were driving at the time, but think at least a 737) that arrived/departed Adelaide Airport...

Hi Gurus. Have trawled the pages, thought there was a thread re general Reward Seat Availability, but can't seem to find it - hence this post. Admin, please move if necessary. Have booked a Freedom Fare from MEL-HKG-MEL in September/October this year. Managed to upgrade the MEL-HKG leg using...

AFF gurus, clearly I'm missing something (or something is missing). The following link is to VFF's fare class earn rate and I can't find the reference to '8 - 'when operated by our Partner Airlines' in the T&C's at the bottom. Does anyone know what it is (or where I can find it)? VIRGIN...

First time in Dubai. Have 4 nights at the end of July and looking to get an idea of the areas so that we can narrow down our accommodation hunt. We are a couple with no kids, like eating out (with a few drinks) and spending time exploring the local culture/cuisine/sights. Don't need a beach...

Mods, if this should be somewhere else (ie under Trip Reports), please feel free to move. After a fabulous J trip from BNE to DPS (thank you VA and the fabulous cabin crew – it was exceptional), the return leg in J from DPS to MEL was a real disappointment. As background, we paid for 2 x J...

Heading to Europe shortly and the friend we're meeting up with has requested we bring 2-3 bottles of a local Sparkling Red over with us. Having never packed 'champagne' into checked luggage, just wondering if this would be an issue on an international long haul flight? Given the 'fizz', just...

Afternoon everyone. Looking to join the AA FF Program and noticed there was a promo code on the membership form. Wondering if anyone knew of any 'sign up' bonus at the moment? Thanks, Suz

Can't seem to locate any info on this here or on VA's website, but as I understand you need to check in (in person) for VA International flights, just wondering if anyone knows if VA have a check in counter airside in DPS or if we will need to pass immigration to check in for a flight back to...

Something I wasn't aware of until yesterday, but assume may be the norm with QF/BA/One World airlines. Made a booking directly through BA's website using my QF FF number and found that when I went into my QFF account, the BA booking showed up. So, wondered with the VA/SQ relationship now if...

Question, and my apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I did do a search, but didn't come up with anything. Travelling VA International Short Haul in J and wondering if VA allow J passengers to have 2 x 7kg bags as carry on? I know EY & SQ allow this, but just wasn't sure about VA...

I apologise in advance if this information has already been posted somewhere on the forum, but as I haven't been able to find it, putting the question out there. On the Virgin Velocity website, is there anywhere that I can determine how many reward points would be required for a flight from say...

Haven't been able to find this information on the forum (and my apologies in advance if it's there and I just haven't found it yet), but just wondering if anyone knows if the Etihad flight (EY470) from Singapore to Brisbane (close to midnight departure from SIN) is a sleeper service in J class...

Query - and have emailed SQ, but are yet to receive a response. Am flying on EY from Brisbane to Singapore, staying overnight in Singapore and then taking an SQ (MI operated) flight the next morning. If travelling with carry-on luggage only, am I able to check-in for the SQ flight online before...

I fly Virgin fairly regularly and quite often on the Embraer aircraft. Whilst I can fully appreciate that Virgin are upping the ante on its premium product, I find it extremely frustrating that for flights with only two toilets (one front, one rear), that use of the front toilet is prohibited...

Just looking for some clarification. I'm VA Gold (exp Jan 2013 but already achieved for further 12 months to Jan 2014) and my partner is VA Platinum (just renewed again - due again November 2013), but there is a chance that our travelling might slow down during 2013. As such, thinking about...

Question to all the FF's out there. Heading to Singapore shortly flying J class and transiting to a Silk Air flight Y class. Currently hold VA Plat & Gold Status (partner & myself) and know that you're not able to access the SQ lounge in Singapore if you're 'travelling' on a Silk Air flight...

Afternoon everyone! Thought it was time to say hello and introduce myself to the AFF community! Have been trawling the site for awhile now just to see how it all works and have to say it's been very enlightening! My other half and I are regular travellers, so really looking forward to keeping...
