Just got to the airport four hours before my 4pm flight SYD - MEL, as I had to urgently get back to SYD. I was on a flexi ticket and VA WP.
Asked to service desk in the lounge to fly forward and they said no availability sorry(didn't even look it up on his computer).
I went online where seats were showing on the 2pm and 3pm both economy and business.
Ended up buying a ticket 3pm flight as I had to get home.
Looks like fly forward only applies when it's convenient for VA.
Thanks for going above and beyond Virgin, couple this with the cheap soup in the lounge and I'm off to QA.
