Can verify that calling them, you can often upgrade if there is availability. I have had this same "Booking Ineligible" error for about 12 months now. I basically have to call Virgin each and every time I want to use points to upgrade. Really bad user experience and can't seem to pinpoint why...

It is certainly frustrating the issues they're having. I thought originally it was because I had selected elevate fares but even when I booked the Freedom fares I still had the same issue. Another time I ensured there was no sale fares going on, but still had the same problem. I have over 3...

Just wondering if anyone is still having issues with this? I have not been able to use the "Upgrade with Points" functionality for about a year now. I simply just cannot seem to use this. Normally in the past it would say I was successful or I was placed on a waiting list. These days it simply...

Thanks so much for that, I'll do a bit more research and maybe make some phone calls and update you all on how I went.

Thank you, wasn't sure if they were the same pool or not so that clears things up for me. I'll give them a call and see if I can get anything. Otherwise I may have to check other airlines. No one here would know if transferring points from AMEX to Emirates would work as a way to get the points...

Hi Everyone, Just wondering if you can help with clarification on award seats and upgrading with points. Are these the same thing? I have seen a lot of complaints about the lack of award seat availability when travelling international with VA, I have a last minute (end of September) trip that...

Thanks very much, I like to care of my guys here to encourage them to stay. Loss of staff is a killer of productivity and costs a lot. It's much easier to make them happy and encourage them to stay. I actually do most of the company travel arrangements myself for the very reason I want to...

I think it double dips here. Our corporate account plus the individuals seem to earn points. At least historically. Aquire doesn't hold much red with me anyways but I just couldn't remember if it was through Aquire I received the complimentary sign up. Thanks to Croupier for finding this link...

Brilliant thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

No, it would make sense to call them but I was seeing if anyone had this on hand. I believe it was an offer from Qantas and have no idea if it has expired at all. I have about 8 staff so if I could do this cheaply then I wanted to offer to all of them to sign up for it.

Hi Everyone, Does anyone here have a link or know where I can sign staff up for Qantas Frequent Flyer for free? I know I saw something in an email from Qantas some time ago about this as we're signed up for their Aquire program as well. I wanted to encourage all my staff to sign up for airline...

Thanks so much, I think that might have fixed the problem.

Does anyone know how to edit the username or URL that flight tracker is connecting to? My computer auto corrected my username and I didn't notice and now obviously it won't sync the data to my AFF account because the usernames don't match.

It seems to always be my luck that no matter what class I'm flying I'm near the screaming babies. Does the A330 - 300 have premium economy do you know?

I think I have just made this error myself. I have booked a quick dash to SIN via BNE from the VA site and now I'm stuck in limbo in terms of seat selections and getting a decent position. As far as I can see on the flight over I'm 42G as a seat, so far towards the back of the bloody plane. So...

I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a newbie with the lingo. What is a "Shadow"?

Ok, I'm booking an MCY - SYD flight soon and will let you guys know how I went with getting towards the front of the plane and also any benefits when checking in.

Nice, thanks for the tip. I'll keep this in mind from now on.

Yes, I agree it comes down to the circumstances in which we need to utilise certain fares over others. When I plan to do an upgrade I do purchase Flexi fares.

No the snack is not a benefit and not my deciding factor, but when I know I am definitely flying and when it's a business related flight I am bound to a schedule. So when I'm guaranteed to fly at a time I don't care so much about the flexibility. Also when it's domestic I'm only ever on the...
