    Yet another question about Velocity status credits and Review Date

    Think about it in two different ways: For obtaining/upgrading a status on any given date: Count all status credits and VA sectors flight segments within the last year. For maintaining current status: Count status credits and VA sectors since obtaining the status (and before the review date)...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    VA1373 LST-MEL, with fabulous and friendly service from Kaytlin, depite the short flight time and additional pressure of some turbulent weather: Really liked this chicken, salsa, pita meal!

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Snap - but VA691 MEL-PER the day after: One strange thing - apparently the pantry wasn't available on this flight, and the FA could only offer a serve of cheese and crackers later in the flight instead.

    The seats were pretty comfy, as far as economy seats go, IMHO.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure Fleet - Spend $110M

    Something interesting I noticed - row 2 business class seats don't have the literature pocket high up on the back like those in Row 1. Hopefully this means the future divider will extend down a bit further than the headrests. Additionally it looks like the middle seats in Row 3 don't have any...

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure Fleet - Spend $110M

    Wifi / entertainment still broken as of this morning (just boarded PER-MEL) - an announcement was made to download things before cabin door has closed. Also heard the cabin crew mentioning there is less room to stand in row 1 now apparently!

    Can you book SQ flights on the VA Website?

    Maybe try searching for one way options (in both directions first), then try again as a return where you know the flights are available? I've found issues before when either the outbound or inbound options are not available and the whole search goes screwy.

    Maintaing Gold Staus

    Also looking at your screenshot, you'll also need fly the four required flight segments yourself (on Virgin Australia) before 12th April to renew your gold, in addition to the 9 status credit requirement.

    Virgin priority boarding fail

    General boarding announced in the same breath as priority boarding in Perth on Thursday. Then general boarding commenced first whilst the scanner for priority boarding was still being set up and configured by the other staff member. The first person in the priority line tried to go across to the...

    Redeem Velocity for flights to Italy

    I don't think 300k will cover you for three people return, even in economy. I assume you're looking for economy seats? In any case, I picked a random day in May from Melbourne to Rome and found an option for 3 people in economy on Etihad first try: Try searching for each direction as...

    I've just reached Velocity Platinum

    If you've earnt that many status credits you should be able to gift gold (or possibly even platinum) to someone as well :)

    Virgin Australia B737 Max 8

    I thought they already allowed an extra cabin bag for status passengers? I guess it still has to be two separate items.

    Virgin Australia Wifi not connecting

    I had something similar where I started typing in my last name, and then pressed my phone's autocomplete suggestion to finish it. This resulted in the phone adding a space to the end of my last name which caused the form to say it was invalid. Deleting the space from my name fixed it. Probably...
