    How to book business class Mel-Per? Think I've lost it...

    I've been searching the QF website for a business class option and there doesn't seem to be one. All I am offered on the Mel-Per route is Red-e-deal, Flex and Prem Economy Saver (plus reward options). Am I doing something wrong because Syd-Per shows business class options, but not Mel-Per.

    Schedule Change Refund?

    I've had a significant schedule change on a Syd-Per flight from 1:45pm to 9:15am which I am unable to make (going QF instead). Can I get a refund on a non-refundable ticket or is the current Travel Bank credit my only option?

    Bid for upgrade question

    I just tried to bid for upgrade with an Elevate fare and it was deemed ineligible. I’ve never had any fare not eligible for a bid for upgrade with Virgin before. Is there some new policy that only Freedom fares are eligible? This is for a flight from KNX-PER.

    How Virgin Makes Money (off me)

    Was on hold with VA for 45minutes tonight to be summarily cut off at 8pm (bedtime for Virgins). I was trying to book Freedom fares and use my Plat upgrades. Instead I ended up booking Business Saver fares online due to the imminent deadline of CRV59. I sure hope the food will compensate for...

    Domestic J Business Class Classic Reward?

    Simple question...How do I search for business class classic reward seats? They used to show up alongside revenue fares and economy, but they are missing. It is not an availability issue as AA.com shows the seats. What am I doing wrong?

    Current state of service/food in VA business

    Is Virgin still serving food and alcohol in business or have they gone the way of Qantas with bottled water only? I'm looking to dip my toes back into flying next month, but may stick down back if the seat is the only difference.

    Does VA waive cancellation fees on awards if you are Platinum? If not, has anyone had success if you ask nicely?

    Interesting Plusgrade outcome

    I bid for an upgrade about a week ago. $5 over minimum bid for a short domestic flight. Today I bid the same amount for my daughter on the same flight (different booking #). She received her upgrade within 30 mins. I did not get upgraded. She was velocity red, and I am Platinum. It is...

    Qantas A330 domestic meal pecking order [J Transcon]

    How do Qantas FA's take meal orders on the J transcon domestic flights? Is it front to back, right to left, by status??? Last time I was left with one option by row 4 so I would like to maximize my chances by picking the correct seat.

    Qantas Cancellation Compensation

    Qf cancelled my flight in business class from Per-Mel today due to mechanical difficulties. This was an AA reward and they were not very helpful rebooking. No flights were available in business (at least to me on a lowly reward) the rest of the day. The best they could offer was prem economy...

    Can I board with two VA tickets?

    I recently purchased a Getaway fare for a domestic flight, then realized I needed more flexibility and SC's. Subsequently I purchased a Business fare for the same flight. I now have two tickets in my name for the same flight. Can I print the two boarding passes, board and get the SC's for...

    Hi, Currently I am gold and have been since March. It looks like I will be close to achieving platinum if I get another 16 status credits by the middle of next month. After which my existing credits start to expire rather rapidly. My question is that if I acquire the status credits in time...

    Refund to Travel Bank Instant?

    Hi, I am considering cancelling a Business Saver ticket and rebooking in full Business. According to the website there is a $50 charge and the refund goes into your Travel Bank account.

    VA 683 or VA 559 J

    Hi which of these flights VA 683 Mel-Per or VA 589 Syd-Per is more likely to retain the A332 J configuration? It seems VA is swapping to 737 fairly regularly and I would like to avoid this if possible. I will be connecting so it is not really much of a difference going to either Syd or Mel...

    Special Meal Domestic Business

    Can I request a special meal (gluten free) for a domestic flight in Business class? We flew from HKG-MEL-LST recently and a GF meal was provided for the domestic MEL-LST sector. However, when I contacted the call center for an upcoming flight, they said there was no special meals domestically...

    Why Dash-8 to/from Lst?

    Why does Qantas continue to fly turboprop Dash 8's to LST when VA is flying 737-800's and (Qantas) subsidiary Jetstar is flying A320's? I don't get it. At least they could fly the 717...

    A330 to 737 Swap Syd-Per

    How often does Qantas swap the A330 for a 737 on Syd-Per? I was interested in booking J on QF 581 for late June, but looking at the recent Flightaware history, it looks like the flight was subbed for a 737 approximately three out of seven days. Are there certain flights that are guaranteed the...

    Excellent J Deal to Hkg-Questions

    Just thought I'd post what I think is an exceptional deal using the JTX27 promo code. RT Lst-Hkg for $1741 in "The Business." I assume this fare (or similar) is available from other cities too. This can be booked as far out as the schedule allows. In my case this is for a return in 2019...
