So, Virgin Double Status Credits kicked off today , what do you have planned ?

[gwilli1]

scibo10 - Unfortunately I think we will miss each other . Im in OOL from around 7.30am until 10.45am and then I arrive back in OOL at 4.15pm from MEL (VA749).

I'll be doing BNE-MEL-OOL-SYD-BNE on 8th Feb.

gwilli1, I'll be in the OOL Virgin lounge between 1:30pm to 4:00pm next Sat. If you're around, I'll catch up with you (and maybe bass_ke)

MEL-xSYD-CBR-xSYD-MEL
MEL-SYD-MEL
MEL-BNE-MEL

All in Y. When i booked them i calculated they were enough to tip over to me to retain Plat with approximately 6 months to spare.

 

[JohnK]

Booked a couple of OOL-SYD-MEL-OOL flights I did not need.

Should get me close to Gold for another year.

 

[blackcat20]

Got an OOl-MEL flight, was a necessary flight but no help to me as I only have a few SC in the bank anyway.

HBA-MEL-BNE return was going to give 100SC, but I changed the leg out at the last minute to leave Friday 31st.... rats! Forgot about the date!
HBA-MEL return with partner, with 10% promo voucher gives 80SC all up for $288, the best ratio I think I've ever had.

Still pretty pleased, will get me to 5 short of requal for Plat with 3 months to go. Fingers crossed, Velocity were nice enough to step me up to Platinum the first time when I was stuck 15 short for months as the accrued SC kept dropping off

Booked a BNE/SYD/BNE for a charity Harbour paddle I do every year in March; as well as a BNE/ADL/BNE (which I then used 2 of my remaining 3 J upgrades) in February (20th) - knowing I would be taking a trip to ADL sometime in Feb, so locked in dates first (now to check with clients their availability).

Like others here, not easy to plan that far ahead, or be willing to give my money so early to VA. Still, some easy SC's (80) helping me towards Plat re-qual

 

[Gredgy69]

I have Syd/Mel/Syd departing this Friday and return Sunday, then Syd/BNE/Syd next Wednesday followed by Syd/Mel/HBA/Syd in April. Need to find another 230 SC before end of May for Plat re-qual.

Might have to take the family to Fiji in May - what a hard way to earn SC's!!!

 

[fantasy86dj]

Such a sacrifice to earn those status credits

 

[Dan_]

I have a fair bit booked, but it was all booked recently unfortunately so I don't qualify

 

[quick_dry]

fortunately my review date is before the end of the double SC period, so locked in a SYD-MEL-xSYD-OOL-SYD in the brief window with double SC for the review after the coming one.

 

[mlob]

Ill be hitting Gold after a flight OOL-CBR via MEL in J. Needed the status to upgrade some long haul flexis.

Yep, my points & double SCs for a flight on Tuesday have credited this morning.

 

[Spacetravel]

I already flew SYD-OOL-SYD on the 1st. I got the SC the next morning. I have SYD - LAX - SYD prem econ in a couple weeks which should set me over the line for plat.

Cheers, PJ

 

[fantasy86dj]

Awesome work with the requal

 

[scibo10]

gwilli1, I feel like I'm you, just 2 hours ahead.

Today am doing BNE-MEL-OOL-SYD-BNE.

MEL lounge still a WIP, but the new section is great. I can tell this will become my favourite lounge in the network, yes even better than OOL.
