Thought I would share my fantastic experiences with Velocity since being status matched last year. I don't travel extensively like some on this board, maybe two return international, three transtasman and five return domestic each year. I was matched to Gold as I have EK Gold.
I've only had one flight on Virgin. SYD-MEL-SYD. It was perfectly fine. Nothing amazing, but acceptable. Crew friendly and plane in reasonable condition.
When staying at the Hilton Surfers recently upgraded to an Executive Room with lounge access for a three night stay. Hotel was lovely, albeit some teething issues. Lounge was wonderful with nice food and reasonable selection of drink.
I now have a flyer card and look forward to receiving the 50,000 points and 100 credit in due course. I've used one of the 2 for 1 flights at 1700 on a Friday night from SYD-MEL,saving $200. Im looking forward to the savings using the other three.
Im extremely happy with the velocity program. For my two upcoming trips to MEL I will travel 75% with Virgin.
Unfortunately it is unlikely I will requalify for Gold, as I don't plan on shifting my international travel from Emirates, but will if the goods continue I'll continue looking at Virgin as my preferred domestic carrier.
I have QC Life too, but would rather throw this away and spend my hard earned dollars with a company which values their customers, not leaves them stranded all over the world without notice
