Good evening ^^

Good evening all!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm based in QLD and have been in the frequent flyer for quite a while now. Currently VFF platinum and looking forward to learning and sharing a bit into flying!

What I feel a bit annoying about Virgin is a lot of times their one-stop flight is cheaper than the direct flight (probably as they need to sell more seats in their network). For example, BNE-DPS is much more expensive than ADL-BNE-DPS or MEL-BNE-DPS on the same day, same international outbound flight. And MEL-DPS is more expensive than MEL-BNE-DPS. This sometimes makes me want to go with Jetstar or Qantas despite my status. Otherwise they've been great.

Thanks for reading. Have a nice weekend.

Welcome to AFF!

Airfares tend to be based on willingness to pay, rather than the cost of the service. This means that, paradoxically, a non-stop flight is usually more expensive than a flight between the same destinations with a stop in it. Airlines realise people are willing to pay a premium for the convenience of a non-stop service, even though the service with a stop costs more to operate.

A warm welcome to AFF @Equilibrium . Pretty sure the future will not be simpler in the world of frequent flying.
