    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    I know ONS (Onslow) is limited to the Fokker 100 (or B717) due to runway surface/width. I have heard charter contracts are pretty lucritive for airlines so keeping a smaller F100 fleet might still be worth it over losing the contracts to Qantas or Alliance. I doubt there is anywhere where a...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    I think it would be for me but YMMV. the foot rest was kind of fun but not particularly comfortable for the way I sleep, but I can certainly imagine it being helpful especially for people who are shorter. I found putting the provided pillow behind my back made the seat a lot more comfortable as...

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    I was on 480SC and Silver and took 2 flights (15SC+30SC). when they posted the points a day later it showed me at 525SC with 45SC/400SC towards maintaining gold. not entirely sure what happened, I suspect I was randomly bumped up to Gold after the flights but before the points were posted.
