    Apple Pay / Google Pay

    International Long Haul from 31st March 2024

    It appears Virgin isn't showing up any flights with international partners when the Northern summer 2024 season starts, from 31st March reports "No flights available". I don't recall this ever being any issue before. Virgin operated flights are showing up. Annoying as this is over the Easter...

    Economy PAX using Business Toilets

    Was on one of the SilkAir aircraft (with no divider) over the weekend flying Sydney to Perth. There was a non stop stream of economy passenger using the toilet, including a queue through the business class cabin for a good half hour. The cabin manager was ok with this and was talking to them...

    Cabin Crew. Is it normal / acceptable or theft ?

    A few months ago flying Virgin in business a cabin crew member grabbed their bag, closed the curtain and could hear the fridge door open and then a few minutes later opened the curtain and put their bag back into the compartment. I wasn’t going to post anything at the time. However, I just got...

    Travel Bank Balance showing on "My Dashboard"

    I'm sure this wasn't happening yesterday or I'm very slow off the mark. If you go to "My Bookings" ( Virgin Australia ) Then click your initials at the top right, it shows your points balance and travel bank balance.

    ‘Game over. Life’s short’

    Interesting article, quite a read. Though doesn’t allude to much in regards to Virgin. https://www.smh.com.au/national/game-over-life-s-short-virgin-boss-jayne-hrdlicka-clears-the-air-about-past-and-present-turbulence-20201203-p56kge.html

    Pride Flight

    Surprised this hasn't got a mention. Other than the fact it's a "Pride Flight" BNE - SYD for $150 one way and ticketed as a Freedom fare. That's a pretty good deal for SCs. There are T&C's about photos and media etc. https://specials.virginaustralia.com/au/pride-flight NOTE: This may not...

    Fare Releases 1 Jan 2022

    It seems Virgin hasn't updated it's fare end dates past 31st Dec 2021. From 1st January 2022 which are released today, "discounted" / Getaway fares aren't available, so everything is highly priced and also there are no Business Reward seats available.

    Reward Seats or Paid Tickets to retain status

    Probably something a lot of people will be considering for domestic travel late this year. Do you: Book rewards tickets, hope that there will future status extensions or offers such as "take 1 flight to maintain status). Also no financial loss. Pay for tickets with a Getaway fare, risk of...

    Velocity Name

    With the Bain recapitalizing Virgin Australia there was a mention to better integrate the Velocity and Virgin Australia experience. I tend to think the name "Velocity" was used in part that it could be the membership / frequenet flyer for different companies (similar to FlyBuys). If this...

    Perth Airport. T2 Check-in for T1 Domestic

    I’m not too sure of the decision to conduct check in at T2 and do the very long walk to T1 domestic. Appreciate that early mornings they do open up T1 domestic checkin. However, I think Virgin have done this the wrong way around and should do all checkin at T1 domestic to save passengers such a...

    VA ... Communications (Web Site) .... Just Bad

    It's unbelievable how bad communications are at the moment and they must be loosing business over it. When they came out of administration it took them a week to remove it from the website. On the 1st December, they announced they were extending flexibility from 31st January 2021 to 31st March...

    Platinum - LHR <> US on VS/DL Partnership

    I'm just wanting to know if anyone has had experience flying between LHR and the US on Delta/Virgin Atlantic. I'm wondering if you are flying on a Virgin codeshare with a Delta flight, would you get access to the LHR Lounge? Also, if you are on a Delta flight from LHR (with a DL ticket), would...
