Using QR Avios to book VA domestic?

[AviatorPJ]

My Privilege Club Q calculator doesn't show Virgin Australia as a partner airline to book a domestic VA flight with Avios. Domestic QF flights show up. As do, Bangkok Airways amongst others, internationally.

Wondering if I'm overthinking the recent VA partnership with QR, or missing something?

Apparently you need to complete a partner award request form of some sort according to this article.

NOW LIVE: Earn and spend Avios with Virgin Australia!

There is great news for anyone planning a trip to or around Australia or New Zealand, with Virgin Australia now an earn and spend partner with Avios.

Thanks @djtech . Pleased if you can find and share the link to the Qatar partner award request form. I seem to being looped in circles in the Privilege Club section. Can't seem to find the link to the "form".

I took this forward, and here's the on line chat result I received from Qatar Privilege Club.

"The partnership with Virgin airlines in new and it is not yet updated in the dropdown menu yet due to which you are not able to add the request.

You can also add the request by raising the service request and mention to book in description box.

To add the service request you have to login in to your account > go to dashboard > on the left, click on menu bar > select contact us > submit the service request".

So, at this stage, look on VA website to see if awards are showing and then contact QATAR. Only to note, they may not see the same award availability as we can see on the VA Velocity website as a Velocity member. I encountered this selective vision with Etihad when redeeming VA award with my Etihad Guest points.
