    Child Restraints on VA

    So I've done a bit of searching about this, but couldn't find anything specific or recent that addressed it. Lady Lenny and I have been planning to attend my cousins wedding in Brisbane in May, that was meant to be no kids, but she has ended up inviting all 3 of us, which is great!! But it does...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Not so much a travel mistake as a travel annoyance. Travelling next week for work for the first time in many years and hadn't noticed that Virgin Australia's Fly Ahead benefit is now only for full fare Economy tickets (for Gold status) so I'll need to pay if I finish up early and want to grab an...

    Further Status Extension to 28 Feb 2023

    Thanks, she's 18mths now and was 9mths when we took her to Tassie, Y down and J (points upgrade) back, apparently she preferred the wider seat in J :D Hoping to maybe squeeze in a quick Brisbane trip before we have to start paying for her. Luckily for us she travelled pretty well, although they...

    Further Status Extension to 28 Feb 2023

    Extension received last week (or week before maybe??) with a new review date of Feb23 - which I can hopefully push a little further when I activate my membership pause thanks to Baby Lenny. That said we were lucky enough to be in a position to book a short trip within the Sep - Mar promo period...

    2022 travel plans

    So I may have some 2022 travel plans after all!! New job, back in Education in an organisation with campuses in SYD, MEL and BNE with some looooong term possibility for ADL and/or PER in the future. Looks like I'll be able to swing a couple of SYD-MEL and SYD-BNE trips this year, which won't...

    Personal reflections a year into COVID-19: What has changed? What have you missed?

    The COVID year in 2020 saw a number of very significant changes for the Lenny's, some bad, some good, one great :D What have you missed? Like most, I've missed the ability to travel for the sake of it, and not have to worry about state borders slamming shut on a whim. Other than that, whilst...

    Booking points redemption for another person

    Possibly?? I've just tried a dummy booking and got right through to the final confirmation. So it seems to still be working??

    Booking points redemption for another person

    As Matt has said, this is certainly something that has been possible - I have done so myself several times for friends of ours. It's simply a matter of booking a normal points/reward seat and then entering your friends details in the passenger information section. Velocity doesn't care if you...

    2021 Travel Plans

    Oh wow, although now that I think about it I didn't notice any tent when we left Hobart. That's got to suck!!

    2021 Travel Plans

    Didn't know about this until we got into Launceston on our trip, was raining sideways too!! Luckily we skipped right to the front of the line thanks to Baby Lenny and her pram :D

    Upgrading Future Flight Credit Flights

    Yep just rang them yesterday, no availability at the moment SYD-LST but we're all booked in for HBA-SYD for baby Lenny's first business class experience, and more importantly more room for mum and dad and no seatmate :D Fingers crossed something opens up SYD-LST!!

    Velocity points at Snooze?

    We bought a bed and drawers from them a few months ago. Online and I entered my number at time of purchase. Purchased in January and the points posted in late March, but I suspect that was because the bed frame was on back order so the purchases didn't actually ship until late Feb. So around...

    2021 Travel Plans

    Oh don't get me wrong, both my sister and I still enjoy travelling with our parents, and we're in our 30's. Lady Lenny and I also take her parents on a trip every year - road trip usually but still enjoyable. What I meant to say was we will gladly pay for her full travel costs (minus spending...

    2021 Travel Plans

    We were meant to be counting the weeks until our trip around the UK to show off the new bub to the Scottish family, but that obviously got downgraded a while ago. Current 2021 plans are limited to a solitary Tasmania trip in May before Lady Lenny finishes maternity leave. Future travel is...

    Upgrading Future Flight Credit Flights

    Can't seem to find any information readily available on this, and would rather not sit on the phone for hours with VA if I don't have to. We have tickets booked SYD - LST, HBA- SYD in my for my wife and daughter (travelling as a lap infant) which I used a future flight credit to book. Booking...

    Virgin Future Flight credit....anyone having problems with this??

    I had Future Flight credits for a SYD - HVB for a Great Barrier Reef trip (5 days on Lady Elliot Island with Lady Lenny before Baby Lenny arrived/my birthday) back in April, was able to use them for SYD - LST and HBA - SYD flights for May (Baby Lenny's first flights) with no issues, had to dig...

    SQ status not showing on VA boarding pass

    Did you make any changes to the booking after you'd originally booked?? On our recent trip to Europe I found my VA number/status wasn't listed on the SQ boarding pass for one of the legs that we bid for an $$ upgrade to premium economy. Points and status still credited fine but I showed my card...

    Incremental benefits of Velocity Platinum?

    This is the benefit that keeps on giving for me. If you time your status match right then you get a ridiculously long period as Diamond, I had done the Gold to Gold and then managed to roll over to Diamond via the match which lasted about 18mths from memory. I've been Diamond for the last few...

    Potential Velocity Subscription Service

    It's always been a 'cozy' flight in my experience :)
