    New options to upgrade with Virgin Australia & Velocity Frequent Flyer

    they should add a notional amount on for your level to the bid to make it fairer in my opinion - even if it was only $25/ tier level - They should be encouraging people to strive for higher membership levels rather than just purchase a cut price business class seat...

    Gold Velocity FF wondering best VA airline partner to travel to London with.

    Basically YES You will need to check A3's crediting rules as to what gets 100% (but i think singapore airlines is pretty decent for that) and provided it gets to about 19,000 miles then you are good to go - A3 gives you the first 1000 miles of the 20k miles needed to makes gold from memory...

    Gold Velocity FF wondering best VA airline partner to travel to London with.

    I didnt have time to read all the recommendations so don't know if this has been mentioned - but if u go through SQ (singapore airlines) then u can credit to A3 FF program as well as receive the benefits of being velocity elite - gets you the lounge access on this trip and should make u Star...

    Business Class sale on Virgin website - dates and destinations?

    Re: Virgin Business Class Sale wish i'd seen it a week ago - i needed 130 to get to gold for a particular status run im doing (its sad when you need a certain level before you go on a status run, but whatever lol) - i wouldn't have nearly needed to get so creative a few days ago if i had have...

    because of the way that virgin seems to charge per segment its hard to find a lot of value in their business class sale - best I could see was melbourne-adelaide-gold coast. Not awesome value but a fun way to spend a morning :)

    Business Class sale on Virgin website - dates and destinations?

    Virgin Business Class Sale Got an email from virgin saying that their business class sale ended on Tuesday - I might have missed something but I didn't know they had one on..... Checked on their site and there is a promo on. If this has been mentioned in a thread before (and i'm going blind)...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    whilst some of the best value runs have kind of been killed, which sucks big time, i'm more inclined to think that VA fixed up some of their fares themselves - I dont think they would have lasted as long as they did if there was a mole to be honest - our favourite A47 lasted a LOONG time - and...

    Leaving a trip early

    thx for your response - could that happen if i didnt ask them to check my bags for the intended trip endpoint - but just didn't do the last component and freighted my bags home?

    Leaving a trip early

    If i have booked a non refundable/non changeable return flight, and I want to ditch the last leg of the return without changing the status of my ticket in any way (as my subsequent plans have changed and i need to be somewhere else at the end of the trip), can I advise Virgin that I want my bags...

    Enough is enough!

    I thought upgrades were only given the original status credits - not the upgraded status credits?

    Family Pooling

    Thx Serfty, that's really the answer that I expected (and hoped for) - but I wanted to be sure that they didnt do it based on the situation when the flight was booked (as they state on their website). thx dean

    Family Pooling

    Hi, I had a quick look but could not find a thread covering this question. When exactly (in real life) does family pooling take effect from. It says that pooling will happen based on the settings in effect when the flight was booked, but at other places it says that cancelling family pooling...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    the ones i put in where avail in may at least this morning - please dont put in here either airport (source/destination) for the runs - i recommend that we number the runs or something so people can refer to them by number rather than referring to them directly here. The reason they are in a...
