    Error with Velocity Web Site - can't access to book flights.

    I know I can book over the phone but I need to be able to browse to find preferred dates etc I log in to Velocity, Go to my account - so far so good - it shows my name, number, number of points, transactions, etc. I then go to Book Flight, it comes up with an error (see attached pic). This...

    Flying VA codeshare with Singapore Airline

    I've searched in this forum and elsewhere and found contradictory stories, so would appreciate any actual experiemces that you can share. I'm looking at booking Singapore Airline flights via the Virgin website, flights with VA codes. If it is relevant, they will be J, cash or points. My...

    Singapore Airlines A350 Premium Economy ... best seats?

    I'd very much welcome any comments and experiences based on people flying as a couple in Air Singapore premium exonomy, A350 or Boeing 777-300. We'll be going retrurn Melbourne to Singapore. I'm assuming in either case A&C or H&K would be preferred to D,E,F,G, but beyond that ... as far as I...

    Yet another question about Velocity status credits and Review Date

    Apologies in advance but I am still struggling to get my head around Virgin's rotating review date policy. I've looked up articles on various web sites but am still confused. My partner's review date is in June. He expects to be Gold by August. Is his review date then reset? Does he then need...

    Another question about Family Pooling ....

    I'll try to keep this simple. I have a fair number of status credits (easily exceeding the requirement to keep platinum) for our current "Velocity year." My partner has none. We have a number of flights coming up together. If before these we take out family pooling with myself as the...

    Transit thru Changi

    I guess this is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string?" question, but what would be a sensible minimum transit time to allow in a booking with SA that means transiting thru Chiangi airport. Both flights will be with SA. In answering, please keep in mind that I am somewhat neurotic and was...

    Privileges with partner airlines

    Excuse the question, relatively new to Virgin and planning our first flights with partner airlines (Singapore). Am I right that I get velocity points, status etc and as platinum we get lounge access but not priority check in and priority baggage? No biggie, just like to know. Thanks!

    VA, Singapore Airlines and Scoot

    I suspect the answer to both these questions is "No" but seeing as I can't find a definitive answer on either the Velocity or SQ web sites, here goes ... I'm looking at booking a possible itinerary on Singapore Airlines, putting my Velocity number on the booking. This itinerary would include a...

    Could anybody tell me please ... if we book our return ANA flights to Haneda with VA flight numbers on the Virgin website, will we be able to make seat selection at time of booking? Thanks.

    Booking with ANA

    I really don't want to have to phone the Guest Centre as I can never get much sense out of them other than the most basic enquiries. I'm looking at flying to Japan with ANA, premium economy. I can book J or Y on the Virgin site, but not P.E. I can book on the ANA site and give my Velocity...

    Flights BNE -Vanuatu

    I was looking at traveling to Vanuatu Easter next year, but seems Virgin show flights only up to Dec 2023. Does any know is this perhaps normal for international flights, maybe they don 't schedule so far ahead? Or does it mean the route will be scrapped? Or something else? Thanks.

    Service credit expiry date

    This must have been asked before but I don't seem able to find it. I have three credits in my travelbank, expiring 22 Mar 2024. 27 May 2024 and 26 June 2024 respectively. My question is, does this mean the flights must be taken before those dayes, or only that I must book before those dates...

    Question about reward seats eligibility

    I am aware that I can use my points to book reward flights for myself, my partner, and any other close relative. I'm wondering if I can include on the booking (along with myself and my partner) a close friend to whom I am not related? I believe this to be not possible with Qantas. Is Virgin any...

    Flying Perth to Melbourne

    Next week I'll be flying Perth to Melbourne with Virgin. I've never flown out of Perth with Virgin before and the Perth airport connurbation with its four terminals leaves me in a state of utter confusion! Could some kind soul with local knowledge be good enough please to advise me which...

    Status Credits Fail

    Various issues around receiving status credits (or, rather, not receiving status credits!) have arisen in this forum from time to time. Usually points and SCs land in my account the same day or at worst the next morning, but here we are, two days after completing a return J trip between my home...

    An exceptional cabin crew sevice thread

    I think any regular flyer will agree that (especially in J), the attitude of the cabin crew can make all the difference between a very pleasant flight experience and an eminently forgettable one. I feel that I at least would like to give a shout out when the former occurs: I have no interest in...

    Bizarre seating stuff up ..

    . Wating at the gate to board yesterday, MEL-BNE. Couple sitting close by look at their boarding passes and notice, "Hey we've been upgraded to Economy X!" They hadn't booked it, appeared to have no special needs and were clearly delighted at their gratuitous good fortune evidently awarded to...

    Does Qantas deliberately make life difficult or are they just hopeless?

    Honestly, every interaction I have had with Qantas this year has turned into a three act drama, when they all should have been (and once upon a time would have been) so simple. This is the latest ongoing saga. Back in July used points to book flights for Apr 7 from Hobart to Perth via...

    Flying HBA to ZQN and return

    We're Qantas WP frequent flyers looking at booking with Air NZ a return trip to Queenstown. We know that Air NZ now does some direct flghts in and out of HBA but these don't work for us as they go in and out via AKL with in one case a 13 hour layover. There is a perfect itinerary on the ANZ...
