morning virgins,
my conversion is almost complete. Qantas flights from Sydney to Adelaide were packed out today (Sunday) - at least twice the price of the 6.45am Virgin and no chance of an upgrade. I figured I'd give VA a try again and because they status matched me to Gold a while ago (although am now QF WP) I was able to select a seat in Row 3.
The leg room in #3 is enormous, better than in QF J class and much better than QF row 4. Inflight service was not polished like QF but generally charming. Lounges were chirpy and fun, void of the many w*nkers who call the Qantas Business Lounge home. And the thing isn't run by a bunch of union-busting scabs.
After last week, if VA status matched me to Platinum I'd burn up all my QF points, snip the card in half and make MY first destination virginaustralia.com.
