    Pride Flight

    100% relatable 😂 glad to hear it was a fun flight tho! Looks like a genuinely good time from the photos 🏳️‍🌈

    Double velocity points (book by 14/12/22)

    Good luck! I’ve tried emailing twice, once they replied with the generic “up to 4 weeks after flight” (which it had been), and then they’ve still not replied to my last one. Issue seems widespread, sounds like they’re really struggling with this one.

    Double Status Credits Virgin Australia Activate by 10th Feb 2023. and Travel by 31st March 2023

    I think most have their review date set to 28 Feb, so if you take the offer up in March that'll go towards your next year I'm planning to do ~400SC in March through this offer soon after my review date, which is halfway to WP renewal :)

    Return of Wifi on Virgin Australia

    Streaming netflix while up in the air seems insane, how awesome if that's the case. Did you get a chance to run a speedtest?

    Double Status Credits Virgin Australia Activate by 10th Feb 2023. and Travel by 31st March 2023

    Is there any amount of cash I can pay you to have you not "scrape" your way back into VA status, and perhaps spend your time over on the Qantas forums instead? I don't know why you come here so frequently just to trash an airline you clearly don't enjoy flying with. And you've been doing it...

    Virgin International Lounge @ BNE

    Darn it, I fly out of BNE international next month. It would have been nice to sit down and have somewhere quiet to work. Although the options at BNE have never been great, even pre-pandemic. I remember before a flight to LAX, there was a tiny little lounge that felt like a pop-up in the middle...

    Double velocity points (book by 14/12/22)

    I emailed the WP team for flights taken on 14th and 16th and received this canned response I did activate before booking, so it looks as though they are having IT issues with the promo. Goes without saying... it would have been nice if the agent made a little effort to look up the booking ref...

    Melbourne to Europe in Business

    Is there a tool that helps search availability easily, or is it still just a click-a-thon?

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Just noticed Bali is the perfect place to fly for a status run. It's *just* long enough to fall into the highest tier, so you'd get 280 SC in total flying return in J!

    Double velocity points (book by 14/12/22)

    Does anyone know how long it takes for the points bonus to credit the account? The T&C's say up to 4 weeks, hoping sooner so I can use them for a redemption 😈

    Ads covering up almost entire page

    @Mattg this is still happening, even on the homepage (outside the forums). It doesn't always happen, for me it's ~50% of the time If this is a new AFF Supporter conversion strategy, please ignore ;)

    Ads covering up almost entire page

    Hey all, I've noticed that sometimes the banner ad at the bottom of the page loads in a vertical ad (instead of a banner) which covers nearly the entire page. Anyone else seeing this? Is it something I need to fix or AFF? 1654914490

    Anyone know if we're likely to get VFF-MP transfers?

    The thing about not earning PQP is a real kick in the groin :(

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    I couldn't find anything for Aug/Sep, searched for all combos (MEL or SYD) to (SFO or LAX). From what I can see, they've only released rewards up to July 31st. You may need to wait a few more weeks before seeing J reward availability for August. But I'm pretty sure your best bet is to do the...

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    That’s not a reward seat if it’s 200k it’s converted to cash first (at a very poor rate). Look for the 80k seats. I’ll have a look too when I get home

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Once you find a reward on United, go to the VA website to book the same flight using your VFF pts Sometimes the stock won’t match exactly and there’s less availability for codeshare partners, but I’ve found so far VA has all the same rewards as United

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Use the United website to search for rewards. It’s much easier and shows you availability in a 30 day calendar
