BNE-SYD-LAX-BNE VA Y US$266 on Orbitz [gone]

Haha...well actually paid row 26 but not more than the flight. I always fly this seat as i get to sit fully reclined in the middle away from the exits. Very comfy. I figured i got a cheap flight so i can afford the seats. ;-)

I think I was automatically allocated either row 25 or 26 aisle. Will definitely be tired. Should be able to sleep.

Youll be right.

Wont be as bad as my $600 YQ free fare back in Jan, when the B seat held a 6''6" slim gentleman (nice enough guy from PHX) who was physically unable to keep his right elbow away from my C seat which was already full with me in it.

So has anyone actually flown yet?

I have. I'm currently at BNE airport. Flew MEL - BNE this morning and my BNE - LAX leg is currently boarding as I type. Didn't experience any issues at all. Wish me luck for the next 12 hours in row 43. D:

Just shown the last posts of this thread to my wife - ecstatic she is!!

Sorry, I've gone against the golden rule and called to get bassinet row - Row 21ABC - which I can gather in the re-config from other threads is in front of a b-head/toilet. No issues with the booking whatsoever.


She wants to know why I am a SG and she is called a PS....

My friend and his friend departed earlier today from BNE on row 46, en route to LAX now. They said check in was smooth. Nothing happened.

Friend and I landed in LA yesterday thanks to this wonderful fare.

Really enjoying our long weekend! Dreading the 14 hours back in Y though (my goodness I'm spoilt these days).

Had dinner tonight at EP & LP which was great.

Our suite at the Andaz West Hollywood:


The Getty:


Malibu Beach:


Been driving around in our Silvercar all day which has been great (promo link if you're interested – I couldn't see any on AFF).

Having never been beyond LAX before, the city is exceeding expectations!

I left 12 Apr, and returne 18 Apr. Amazing trip, best price, and well on my way to SG on Velocity

Ya, forgot to say party of 7 travelled no probs.

This has to be one of the best milage runs of my life.

For under $400, I've earned about 32,000 points thanks to WP bonus, and the conveniently timed double-point bonus to LA.

With family pooling and a few domestic flights I should return from this trip WP. Not bad considering I haven't even been silver before.

Which double-point bonus to LA? I must have missed that offer.

I would more than likely have ignored that promotion. Sad.

from memory I registered for that offer a few hours AFTER buying the tickets.

My flights are in 2 days time. I think I chose seats 25D and 25C originally via Orbitz. I cannot go into my booking online with Virgin.

Is it worth calling Virgin to try and improve those seats as there are empty aisles in row 20/21? Too risky? Has anyone else called?
