The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

I booked a lone MEL-DOH in J for October a while ago and want now to secure my onward leg to somewhere in Europe. To ensure the connection in DOH is safe do/can I find the leg and then call Velocity to add onto existing booking? Or is there a better way of doing things? (I've never done this before, have only ever booked full journeys.)

As a paid or award ticket?

If an award, you might be able to ‘change’ the booking, and add the new sector. But this depends on things like married segments.

If it’s paid, they’d need to cancel and start again, so you’d be subjected to any higher fare.

Sorry, both legs would be rewards.

Thanks, that's helpful. Is there a way I can check whether something I find is a married segment?

Worst case I'll have to book the two seperately, I'm in for a minimum 6hr wait in DOH so hopefully that'd be enough buffer for late runnings (obviously not a serious disruption).
