    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Question about what happens when I don't qualify for Gold. I'm about 80 status points and 4 segments short of gold, (review date is 1 June). I tend to travel to USA a bit but not much in Aus. Had my first trip since covid last month which was on United (so no segments) and I'm trying to figure...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    flight to LAX, plane is ready and being towed to gate, getting crew and catering etc. should be boarding at 3.20. Not sure about taxi vouchers, couldn't think of anything worse than going home just to turn around again, but if I was out in the terminal sitting on the ground, would have been a...

    Flying with friend on separate bookings - upgrade together?

    Good news, we were both upgraded, I did it from my account. Lucky because we are now sitting in the lounge with a 7 hour delay because of multiple bird strikes to the plane! Of course I would have been able to get us in to the lounge, but at least we know we can look forward to a sleep on the...

    Flying with friend on separate bookings - upgrade together?

    Oops seems to have eaten my last post. Thanks for all your replies. I was kind of hoping I could request the upgrade on her behalf or something. As for the linking, I have had previous travel agent do it for family travel, and it was something that Qantas could see, and I think we were able to...

    Flying with friend on separate bookings - upgrade together?

    Is there any way to get my friend upgraded with me if we both apply for upgrade from Premium to Business flying MEL to LAX. I'm gold and she's bronze but we both have points to upgrade both ways. I know I would be in front of her in the lottery. Any way to increase her chance of getting...

    Can't think of a better title than "another newbie" either

    Hi all, been lurking for a while. Just started doing more travel with work and was moved to the USA for a couple of years so missed out on getting status with Qantas since I couldn't do the 4 QF trips each year. Moved back last year and finally got my status to gold on Qantas on my last trip 6...
