We were taking a family trip to regional Victoria, and I was distracting myself with Facebook. I saw one of my friends check in at Singapore QF lounge, then shortly after, another friend of mine check in at the same location. Unkown to each other, I took the liberty of messaging each through...

OK my educated comrades. Here is the state of play. I would like to take Mrs W to the US for a one week trip. The destination would be LAS, but for the purpose of this I am happy to try and keep it simple and get as far as LAX. Travel 14 Sept ex MEL, return 20 Sept I hold platinum status with...

Hi All, Two things here if I may be so bold :) Firstly: In the past IIRC I was able to view my VA status credit history separate to the current history shown online. It would show when status credits would drop off as minus on the status credit statement. I can not seem to locate where to find...

I am taking a flight MEL to SYD for the day, and with the fares they were offering I struggled to justify the massive price difference. A return fare for the price DJ or QF charge for a one way sector. Now this may all change when I have the experience tomorrow, and may just never try it...

Hi, booked a flight direct through Delta web site - the reference number provided, which looks the same as all the other reference numbers I have for other flights (ie 6 numbers/letters). However, when entering the number into hcekmytrip it does not show up. Can anyone tell me why - or if there...

I understand it is a shared lounge. Who with? What are the inclusions? Do they have spirits in this lounge. Just trying to work out if it is worth getting there extra early to enjoy the lounge facilities before heading off to LAX in their premium economy product. Also hoping to upgrade 7 days...

I made a call to determine what fares I needed to book to be able to upgrade from economy to premium and premium to business. I discovered that there is an offer available to gold and plat members to be able to upgrade with points. This is not listed on the website that I could find. Long...

Hi, I am velocity plat, travelling ex melbourne, 4 hr layover in Singapore before heading to CAN. What lounges can I use, and where are they located...easy to find? I am travelling with two others (silver). I recall reading I can only guest one other in, is this right? Are they pretty tight on...

OK, 3 of us want to go MEL-CAN for a trade show. To arrive in CAN sometime at a reasonable hour during the day or afternoon on 22nd Sept To dept CAN either late on the 25th Sept (after 9ish pm), or early on the 26th. I am plat with Velocity, prefer to use a carrier associated if possible, or...

Has something changed. As the new holder of a virgin plat credit card, I thougt I was able to, with conditions, buy 1 get 1 flight free. Did this also apply to international, or only ever domestic? Has anyone ever used the offer for international? For $249 annual fee, other than the insurance...

Hey All - forgetting about points for a moment, which I know for some is hard, but is anyone able to tell me which is the best card to use (Australian Issued) for foreign transactions. We have a large number of subscriptions based out of the US and Europe and Asia that charge out in their local...

After many short 10sc trips I have finally made it - not too sure what extra benefits are really available to Plat vs Gold though. The main ones are up to 3 guests in the lounge with me, and extra luggage that I don't really use in any case. But most importantly, that wonderful new tag and...

Got this in the inbox today. I thougt they always assessed segments as part of the upgrading process? ......from email... Eligible Sectors were introduced as an assessment method for upgrading and maintaining membership on 25 August 2011. Velocity will begin assessing membership levels based...

Here is a suggestion to the Virgin/Velocity gods. I am becoming increasingly annoyed with the credit card fees when booking. How about half price credit card fees, or phone fees for that matter for gold, and FREE phone and credit card fees for platinum??? Thoughts. Comparing the benefits of...

Hi All - planning a work run for next week MEL-ADL ADL-BNE(or OOL) BNE/OOL-CBR CBR-MEL Qantas make it very easy to do a multi city booking, and probably only charge the one card fee??? I can only find a multi city booking that allows two trips. Am I missing something on the Virgin site that...

OK, It is now driving me nuts. Does anyone know what the purple bag tags are that Virgin issue. I am not talking about the ones at baggage check in for priority, I am referring to the credit card size tags normally issued to silver, gold or plat guests. I currently have a gold card attached to...

Was boarding at the lower gates,I think gate 7 last Thursday. Nice to see they have caught up with other capital cities. I am not sure if the gate up near the lounge have that premium boarding yet? Space is pretty tight in that corridor. Sent from my GT-P7500 using AustFreqFly

I am 67 points short of being gold, after going from red 3 months ago. I travelled on a delta ticket to Orlando return, got all points and status for reach sector except the mel-lax. This has kept me from the elusive gold. Two more domestic flights without gold status, still doesn't get me...

Just wanted to share with you quickly my experience on a recent MEL-MCO flight. Firstly cost was the first consideration for the company. I searched for a flight the standard way on the web using each airline website, and the cheapest was with V Australia website, quoting just over $3k for the...

Hey Guys, I have an android HTC phone locked to the three network in Australia. I am going to Singapore in the morning. Only for a few days. The three website has not been that helpful, and searching through here I have found old information. Just wanting to find out the best network to select...
