This is unbelievable, I am holding back the expletives...we tried booking 11 J flights with Virgin today, combination of 3ex SYD and 8ex BRIS to Honolulu return and my father was told they could not do it even on Group booking number. Rang them myself and let them know how you could book VA ticketed flight with bestflights and was told it was not currently available because of some interline agreement (cough). My father ended up booking 11 with HA ex Sydney because of some weird issues booking the VA ticketed flights through bestflights (have to find out from him what exactly). Amazingly right now you can book the J flights to Honolulu ex Brisbane, Sydney still not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now he has to cop 8 return domestic BNE-SYD tickets (either $1,680 in Y on saver or $3,344 in Y on flexi or $8,560 in J) on top of the HA J flights which were in total $2,283.95 more expensive for same flights on HA ticket! not to mention no plat double points bonus and so on. DISGRACE.
