Virgin Australia has introduced a new flight search tool that allows travellers to view cash fares, points plus pay and velocity frequent flyer reward seats in a single calendar view.

Definitely a step forward but the entire booking engine really needs to be re platformed. Would be good to see VA/Velocity sites combined into one on the same platform.

VA needs to invest a little in more computing power, as performance can be woeful.

As outlined in the article, this is an upgrade to the existing booking tool, the one you use on their website already, not a separate system.
