Japan school holidays July/August.

QR customer service is very sub-par. I was told I would get a refund of exit row seat selection as the IFE wasn't working (11 hour flight) and they couldn't move me as no other spare seats. 18 months on and numerous follow-ups the end result is nothing from QR. (Credit card company wont...

Looks like A7-BEL has been assigned for VA21 https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/a7-bel

It is open. However, there are massive disruptions. Weeks of disruptions according to Qatar. Also Perth - Doha is switching from an A380 to two double daily B777's which I would imagine they have to get the appropriate crew into Perth as well. Today's QR900 (final A380 rotation service) is...

Wondering if VA21 (Perth - Doha) is going to take off as planned on Thursday following the closed airspace and the subsequent disruptions taking they have been ferrying in the aircraft via KL for the Sydney and Brisbane inaugurals. They could start with VA22 (Doha - Perth) on Friday. (The fix...

I recall many years ago, after a last minute cancellation passengers were told to go back to the check-in counters but if you were platinum to call the call centre. It maybe a case where they think the platinum call center can assist you better.

As friend of mine works for Virgin Airport ground staff at one of the major airports. I asked this question recently. It's down to the staff and is at their discretion. Simply if you are nice to them you'll get rebooked free of charge. If you're not you're bound to the T&C's of your ticket...

Seems that way. A7-BEI the first VA2 (DOH-SYD) on 13 June.

I wondered how Qatar were going to position the aircraft for VA1 today Aircraft : A7-BET Routing : DOH - KUL - SYD https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/a7-bet

One of the areas Virgin Australia have heavily invested into is IT / Technology. https://www.virginaustraliaipo.com.au/offer/prospectus/

I wonder if this is to do with the Qatar tie up and ensuring you get the VA recognition if you're flying to Doha on a QR codeshare of a technical VA flight.

I thought Bain had always maintained they wanted to hold the majority share. Time will tell.

I wonder if this is the short term issue. I don't think a total of 12,000 status credits is a bad thing. However maybe the minimum should be 6,000 VA SC for when it launches. Then after it launches put the minimum up to 9,000. This way it solves the historical issue. Though I suspect the...

I'd expect you can book your Economy seat prior to July 1st and then phone to request an upgrade after July 1st. Though, I'd recommend emailing Velocity and get their confirmation in writing.

Yes I got exit row seats (On QR 777's I think all extra leg room seats are exit row). Almost all seats were available about 3 seats were taken in all of economy, excluding the usual seats which Qatar block out.

After all the hassles of seat selection, I discovered I was able to do it online last night using the Qatar website. Was even able to get an extra leg room seat. Ticketed by QR and on a QR codeshare flight number.

Interline agreements don't tend to be promoted. If you buy the ticket on a single ticket the bag will be checked through. An example is Delta. When you search from Adelaide to LAX you will get various options for the domestic booking : Virgin, Jetstar and Qantas and all will show with the...

You can't pool sectors. But 8 sectors is easy to achieve for a frequent flyer.
