I spent 45 minutes tonight trying to book a one way ticket from BNE to SYD. VA's website was continually stuck with the waiting circle (or whatever it's called) and just kept hanging.

I finally managed to book the flight, but after 6 or 7 attempts forgot to untick the travel insurance.

VA please make travel insurance opt-in, or fix your booking system. It really feels that you're taking advantage.

Ring them now and have it reversed.

Virgin is annoying in this regard.

you don't call anyone, the instructions to cancel are very simple and included in the confirmation email. It's a very easy email and the cancellation will be processed.
 
Thank you!

It's little things like this that make me want try QF. But...... I don't want to wait to build up the status in middle seats!

thanks again.
 
I spent 45 mins trying to book a flight on Christmas Day for my daughter and myself. The site kept crashing and I had to keep logging in all the time. Infuriating.
And yes, I hate the travel insurance opt out too. it should be opt in.
