I'm currently having an issue where I can't seem to select a seat on any of my bookings. In the app it puts a coloured box around the seat when I tap (and same in Google Chrome) but doesn't select it. In IE and Firefox, nothing happens. It just won't select a seat, but doesn't give an error...

Just read the following blog on expert flyer. From Jan 11 on AA domestic two class cabins, First fare classes are being recategorised as Business (although still marketed as First). My assumptions for QFF would be: - less status credits would be earned on these flights, as they'll now be at...

Today is the first day of my new Velocity membership year, and I logged in hoping to see 4 new upgrade credits, and instead found the following message: I would have thought the system would be able to process it automatically overnight, like it does for upgrades, so I wonder if this means...

Not sure if this has been discussed as I haven't been on AFF as much lately, but just noticed that you can now request upgrades up until 4 hours before a Virgin flight (previously was 24 hours). First step towards ODUs? (A reliable source did indicate to me some time ago that ODUs are going to...

I've tried three different email addresses, have changed a couple of bookings, was promised a manual confirmation to be sent from an upgrade request, and have clicked "Resend itinerary" several times, but still have not received any confirmation emails from Virgin. Is anyone else experiencing...

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I don't remember seeing it ... we may also need Velocity Rewards to provide an answer seeing this hasn't kicked in yet for anyone to test. I was wondering how eligible sectors will be treated when this becomes part of the calculations for status...

Just looking at reward seats to/from Europe for next year, and had the following very odd message. I have >150k points with DJ, yet when I select either the DJ or EY seat that is only 94k points it tells me I don't have enough points to complete the booking, even though I do: Yet when I...

Flying from Sydney to Melbourne tomorrow night, and a strange seat map came up for the flight: Normally occupied PE/J seats show a purple person which is the case for everyone in row 2. The two seats occupied in row 1 show a grey person, which is normally what shows for Y seats. Just...

I'm off to Bali in a few weeks, and of course looking forward to Flounge time to make the JQ flight over there more bearable. Of a bigger concern is the lounge access coming back - obviously JQ/QF don't have a lounge in DPS. I will be flying from Lombok back to Bali which arrives at 7:30pm...

Just made a booking for flights tomorrow and wednesday, and was presented with the below option: Does this mean advanced seat selection is now available on Virgin? If so ... :D Not sure if this is the same for bookings further ahead - anyone care to check?!

Well I must have developed a creative flair ... somehow I managed to win the Virgin AFF competition in 25 words or less, and now I've done it with Qantas as well! On the way to my house is a Cowboy Hat signed by none other than Larry Hagman himself from the TV show Dallas! I'm hoping there...

According to the latest NoNews article, the good Australian dollar isn't a reason to go overseas as the airfares are still mean it costs a lot more than holidaying in Australia: Strong dollar prompts campaign for local holidaymakers | News.com.au Have they not seen the latest Jetstar or Air...

Couple of things here: 1. Looks like Priority Pass holders would pretty much have to be flying VA or Rex to use the lounge - considering QF, JQ, TT and all international are excluded as they are not T3 departures. 2. Limited to one guest, but I assume that is still a paid guest as usually...

Have seen the whole first season ... and it's funny 'cause it's true! In a take off of shows like Airport, Airline, and Airways, this series looks at (read:takes the Mickey out of) life in one of England's busiest airports. Check it out right now on Channel 9 (8pm), or the uncut version at...

Re: Now You're Flying Virgin Australia Just flew back from Sydney and was pleasantly surprised, for a number of reasons: Premium Lounge Entry at Sydney airport - no queue, in fact almost no-one in there. Four security gaurds to process us through. Of course with no-one there, they can do the...

I'm pretty sure we were advised by QF that with the new ability to select Exit Rows online, that the only "check" of eligibility for an Exit would be done at the gate. (I think QFCSA may have mentioned this?) Unfortunately it looks like the system may not be behaving as expected. I selected...

I know there have been a few complaints around the QF seat selection forcing you to select seats for all flights, when you may only want to pay for it on one flight (or for some reason not select seats on all flights etc). Good news is there is now a "Skip" button on the seat selection page...

Hmm ... I've flown American Airlines recently, and I think they might be barking up the wrong tree for more than one reason...

Just redeemed the "free" flight through my Amex Platinum Reserve card and they sent the standard Amex Word document confirmation. Of course this isn't in a format that I can send to TripIt to create my itinerary. I've tried other ways to find the reservation, but can't, as follows: -...

Obviously I was bored today as I was reading through the Velocity program T&Cs and came across this one: 4.2. ....You cannot purchase Points or Status Credits. Members can purchase Status Levels, in accordance with these terms and conditions and any others as posted on www.... Am I missing...
