I'm looking to travel BNE-MLA next year via SIN and FRA, and have found some great fares that mix a QF marketed and operated flight from BNE-SIN with LH marketed and operated flights to FRA and MLA. This will be booked online through LH's website. I'm looking to insert my KrisFlyer number for...

Hi All I'm currently SG, but will hit WP mid next after flights from my US and Europe trip credit to my account. I will be mostly flying VX or DL, with one long-haul leg on EY. My concern is that around that time, I will have a number of SCs expiring due to the 12 month roll. Given I've...

Just wondering whether post 1 Jan 2012, Virgin Australia will adopt the VA code. or rebadge the current V Australia as DJ? I would hope its the former, but there appears to be some debate on this in another forum. Any news?

I am flying from JFK to LHR and would like to treat myself to a Premium Economy. Given the very lousy status credit earn rates on VS, the only option available is DL. I note that DL do not have a Y+ cabin. You can purchase a Y+ fare on a DL coded flight, however AF operate the flight. I rang...

Hi All Was on a SYD-BNE flight last Wednesday, and was relaxing watching some Sky News on L2A through my Bose Headset. As we began to descend, I was asked by an FA to switch my Bose off. I of course did this, but was slightly annoyed as the news item I had been waiting to listen to for the...

Virgin Blue unveils new Virgin Pacific brand, marketing campaign featuring Justin Bieber - Flights | hotels | frequent flyer | business class - Australian Business Traveller Has to be an April Fool's joke. Guess this means its Virgin Australia then :lol:

Has anyone noticed that Singapore can be selected as an origin destination. It then produces no results for the destination. Wonder if this is a glitch, or we should be reading something into it?

Interesting article in The Australian. Strategic Airlines looks beyond $90m contract loss the airline's founder is predicting a small profit this year | The Australian Maybe their domestic partner will be Rex.

Hi All I stumbled on this site back in 2005 (wow, 6 years ago. It seems like yesterday!) and have loved it ever since. A bit about myself. I live on the Gold Coast and work in the finance area. Unfortunately this role does not offer much opportunity to travel, as opposed to my previous...

This is the million dollar question for DJ (and QF too I guess). Living on the Gold Coast, the choice is a no brainer for me now. Once very loyal to QF, I found their ditching of QF in OOL, in favour of JQ a good reason for me to ditch QF. Having said this, there was never really any...

Back to the branding question, here is an interesting link below Sky News: Virgin Blue embarks on brand overhaul It's still my view that multiple brands for an airline attempting to create a single identity will not work. Changing the livery, but simply adding a few curves here or there...

Have started this poll as it would be interesting to see whether frequent flyers are wanting a complete, partial or no rebrand to DJ. I have allowed the ability for multiple selections.

John Borghetti has clearly targeted the upgrading of the Velocity Program as one of his priorities. Interested to hear what people would be looking for here. I have 3 major issues with the current program myself 1. The level of points earn for different classes within economy. For example...

So it appers that the Virgin Group are looking at consolidating their multiple brand names into one (which seems like something that should have been done a while ago). Given this, do is there a preference for a name? Virgin Australia is being hinted as the possible name (subject to SQ and VS...

Can VA codeshare bookings for onward travel to JFK, SLC, CVG or MCO from LAX connection still be booked online through the VA site? I noted a month ago that such VA codeshares were available and had a black Delta symbol as the operating carrier next to the VA codeshare code. There were also...

It appears to me after some dummy bookings that to book Sydney to Fiji, one must do it through the VA website. A return booking for 6 Jan 10 and returning 9 Jan 10 via the DJ website shows Premium Economy fares much cheaper than Flexible fares, and there is no scope to book Business. I would...

When having a quick look at the Lounge Access section of the V Australia site, I noticed that it listed the lounge access for 'V Australia Lounges'. Does anyone know if V Australia branded lounges will be coming soon to VA international lounge locations, or for that matter, whether they will...

When inputting your personal details on the UA site during an online booking, I've noticed that Virgin Blue is listed on the frequent flyer drop down menu. I am aware that Mileage Plus members can earn points when travelling on DJ from a UA connection, but I wasn't aware that Velocity members...

Hi All I am quite surprised that 9 days out from their inaugral flight, VA are silent on their lounge offerings at SYD T1 and LAX. Has anyone heard anything regarding this?
