    Oh wow. I have never seen that feature! What horrible UX that it is not shown as the sort option.

    Velocity/Virgin websites are RUBBISH

    Would wager it is a bug on the virgin website. It would take a lot of effort for a sort to be influenced by a user setting. Although some of the strange things i have seen developers do with time you can never be too sure :D *edit* i stand corrected there is a sort field i have never seen!

    The only time i have had this happen is when i book a junior suite and they throw in club access but don't move rooms. Anything else is a room upgrade with no club access.

    Travel Hacks/Tips

    This is my only complaint with it. As you said a rotating plug would have solved these problems. Wish they did a bit of product research before finalising the design on an other wise great product.

    1st Timer Queries: SYD>LAX (rtn) with Virgin

    1. I am a touch taller than you and even if it was my last 135$ i would do it in a heartbeat. It makes that flight in economy almost bearable. 2. Always expect to fly in the seat you paid for. Having said that, apart from the width i actually find the seats in virgin Y+ to be a little worst for...

    SF is strange like that. Even just going from downtown to the mission can make a difference of a few degrees.

    Electronic arrivals at LAX

    The finger print scanners are a bit hit and miss. I have had about 1/2 hit rate. Although even if it fails you get shoved into a shorter queue and are out in minutes rather than the usual hours.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I did look here. I couldn't find any mention of the ATO. Just wanted to see if someone had done it recently could confirm the rate on ATO payments.

    Virgin America Lounge access

    Correct. While being a member of velocity owned by virgin you can not access the virgin atlantic lounge on a virgin america flight. I know that virgin has a lot of gaps in their "alliance" but you would think they could at least get it right within their own group.

    SFO Lounge Access

    Yup! Rather annoying as it is not the most entertaining of terminals either. Hopefully with the new QF syd->sfo route virgin might attempt to fix this.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Going through this large list of posts. It seems all cards by NAB are out (who i currently have cards with). I have a few smallish payments to make to the tax department from last year and a few probably this year, any way to avoid signing up for a new card to at least get some points from the deal?
