Velocity to Elevate status levels

[stevelcqld]

Hi

Note Elevate is the Virgin America reward system.

I am heading to the US early next year so starting to plan it all out.

As a Platinum Velocity member, I looked at the Virgin US and whilst I get the usual check in and priority bags, the Velocity site does not state anything about x number of free baggage for Virgin America flights.

Anyone know if you get free bags or would i need to pay extra for that? The flights will be internal US flights so I can't seem to book them thru Virgin AU and I can't see any info on the Virgin US sites about a Status Match.

Cheers
Steve

I don't know about economy benefits but I will say keep an eye out for their first pricing/sales as we got a couple of first sectors for approx. $30pp more than Y and it included baggage and well... first seating.

Really enjoyed flying VX.

I thought the thread title meant Velocity was going to make it more difficult to attain status!!

likewise (had a visual image of 2 two tall VA FA's raising the elusive bar higher in the Olympic stadium {as RB's gold helicopter touched down near the marshalling area}).

what sectors were you flying out of interest?

We flew Seattle>San Fran and about a week later, San Fran>LAX.

Im OK with Delta but after these flights, will be looking at VX in future for our US flights.

For us it will be just LAX to Vegas return.

Cheers

You will need to pay for bags on VX. If you want free bags fly DL.

Yeah VX is pretty cough in terms of benefits from Velocity. I usually fly DL because of this.
