Funnily enough I flew United from SFO to SYD on United in Polaris and they haven’t posted yet. This is a lot longer than usual.

This is exactly my experience with Qatar in Sydney. A bad experience that neither VA or Qatar want to take responsibility for.

Another data point..my review date was Feb 28th. My new review date is 13 March, 2024. However I've done a bit of flying during my review period and none of that has appeared in my new status year. Email has been sent.

A few teething problems with my new Velocity number. No upcoming flights in there including a flight on Thursday…. Plus when you try to enter your booking ref details to retrieve flight...nothing. Even after changing booking to new Velocity number. Will be interesting to see how this...

I’m in exactly the same boat. Agree it will be annoying to have to remember a new membership number, but good to see Velocity are on top of this. Here’s the email details We are contacting you in relation to the cybercrime event recently experienced by Medibank. Medibank has just advised...

I'll be very interested to see how you go. This is what i received from Velocity when i enquired by email. Disappointing from Virgin/Velocity. As of this time, yes we can't process your companion nomination yet, as we can only nominate a Companion Nomination for GOLD OR PLATINUM one at the...

A follow up to this...I tried to make this happen today and was told by someone in the overseas call centre that because i had nominated someone for companion Platinum already this membership year, it was not possible to do it again. Frustrating and ridiculous.

I’ll be in the same boat with around 4000 status credits this year. Will be interesting to see what VA do about another tier. Does anyone know if you can gift more than one membership in a year? Eg I’ve gifted platinum already this year and already have enough SC’s to technically gift another...

Yes he can activate it any time in the next 12 months (from the date he gets the additional status credits). He just needs to ring the Platinum line and they will activate immediately.

It will be economy on the domestic leg.

It was 2:30pm and the lounge didn’t seem that busy. My only thought was that maybe they were expecting a VIP group to arrive in the lounge. I’ve never had a problem using other lounges on arrival (even with guests), so I’ll put this down to a glitch. ;)

I flew into to Adelaide on Thursday last week and thought I would drop into the lounge for a coffee as a Platinum Frequent Flyer. I presented my boarding pass and was told I couldn't come in, as they were "protecting the lounge for high value departing passengers" I would have thought that...

According to EFTM it looks like the new VA app for Android is out, and the iPhone version is very close to launch. Virgin Australia updates its app - an all-in-one experience is coming » EFTM

i had an interesting experience boarding VA2 on Sunday night at LAX. I was with a small group (3 of us are Platinum) waiting at the boarding gate, when we were approached by a gate agent, who asked if we were travelling in business class. We said we were Platinum, to which he said, you will...

This from AirlineRoute today.

I'm beginning to think this might be the initial influence of new VA Group Executive John Thomas (due to start in Sept) - the consultant king of ancillary revenue for the major carriers in the US. Although I hope he heeds his own advice from a report he co-authored in 2007 on the LEK website. :)

According to FlightRadar24 it looks like VH-VPE might be back in action from LAX to BNE on Friday night. This hopefully means tomorrow's VA7 (vh-voz) will be the last of the non refurbed flights.
