A lot of airlines are deliberately drip feeding their refunds to preserve cash. VS are probably one of the worse. IF they survive, I guess they are hoping people have memories a lot shorter than their refund delays...

Applied for refund Feb 26, received in July. I'd almost given up, it was $13,400 for 2 x RTW J tix. Cancelled by me, as the Sydney > Hong Kong leg (to be flown in June) was cancelled so the whole ticket became refundable.

VS are now bankrupt and in bankruptcy protection in the UK and the US, not sure how many more refunds will eventualise now.

Bit of information available here:-

But it's been well covered, concurrently as Virgin Australia seems to be rising a little at least from the ashes.
