Hi All
My first post here, hoping for some advice from fellow travellers. I am a Gold Velocity flyer gained almost 100% from domestic travel and now travelling SYD>LAX (then Vegas, yet to be booked) return flight with Virgin in February 2016. A few questions for a novice on this route:
1. I have a saver fare and a currently sitting in 27D on both legs. I am considering paying for emergency seat (26A) for the return flight as its a night route. Considering I am 6ft 3" does this seem sensible choices for both legs? Its not cheap at $135 one way. I am concerned that the window seat (26A) might have the large door blocking leg room (as on some 747's).
2. Are there any other ways and means by possibly trying to use gold status / chance of upgrade(??). I would use points but require them for another trip later in the year. Just throwing it out there but fully understand I'll likely just have to pay up!
3. If I land in LAX at 6.30am, how long should I allow to then connect to a Virgin/Delta flight to Vegas? I might be able to just take hand luggage as its a very short trip so that will obviously help things.
Thanks very much, all advice much appreciated.
