I have accrued avios during a recent trip to USA and Canada. So I should move to silver. Again, does anyone know what silver privilege club benefits are (if any) in Australia?

Hi all, I have had the Qatar gold status match. But that will expire and I will be silver. I can't find any clear information about the Privilege club silver benefits on virgin Australia and Qantas? Any knowledge to be shared on this?

Thanks for the tip!

Has there been any news on Accor extending the expiry of points due to Coronavirus? Are other hotel loyalty programmes doing anything similar?

A shame its ending, but as others have remarked - it was not a reliable app

I too took these flights in dec 2018 for 3000$ brisbane to brussels return. Hainan business class. It was very good. Lots of vegetarian food. The bed was slightly smaller than other airlines Im 6'1. I wish they would have another similar sale!

I have the same problem! Shorts and a t-shirt is the way to go... And Because I'm in my late 20s often fly business and have been a gold member for 6 years, I often have the oldies and staff stop in disbelief. This is a great thread BTW, very interesting.

Why are Virgin and Velocity not partners with the other Etihad Partners? Air Serbia, Air Seychelles and Jet Airways? Etihad own all of them and a large stake in Virgin Australia, it seems easy and logical to add them as virgin partners. It would boost the number of ff partners virgin has. And...

YES!!! Please ban babies and children from Business class. I am in my late 20s, and I cant stand loud babies and children in Business class. They are getting the seats for less, we are subsidising them. Its also very bad for the baby's health to fly - consider the germs they come in contact...

That's sad. The only winner is Dubbo council.
