Bonus Velocity Status Credits for VA flights - Book & fly between 12 January and 31 March 2026

[PERLHR]

It's typical VA. Looking at this thread. It's not even easy for everyone to actually find the "offer" once logged in etc. it's also as most people seem to be saying, are going to fall short of renewal in status by some margins further up the status chain, unlikely that max of 125 SC is going to make much difference. Perhaps the DSC on QF is much more appealing still.

I'll for one will be participating in my first DSC with the Red Roo.

How times have changed.

I was in the Virgin Lounge in Sydney on the weekend. Thinly attended - it was Wonderful. So a for thinning out the lounges (I wonder where everyone went? To the Qantas already-overcrowded lounges? ). But the plane down to Hobart was packed. My free Economy X seat was pretty good though.

I think the current situation is great!

I've got Plat+ locked in this year with VA, PPS/Gold renewal with SQ is 1 flight away and I still have to do a LHR run in April.
Despite not being a QF fan, a bne-syd-sin-lhr-sin-syd-bne in J on QF with double SCs would net me Plat there......
Tempting to be honest.

If the SYD lounge is overcrowded the upstairs lounge has probably four or five people in it. But as it doesn't have a proper range of food, just a barista and a few snacks if you are lucky, you have to go downstairs for food. I'm only ever in there for breakfast so I don't know what it's like for afternoon flights. But I couldn't be bothered going up there most of the time.
They had it closed for so many years people forgot about it. They did occasionally announce it was open when it returned but I haven't heard that for a while.

You would think they could turn upstairs into a Plat + lounge.
Wishful thinking I know.
