Virgin now allows Fly Ahead on all Flex fares

Piggybacking the most recent thread about fly ahead, does anyone have any experienced doing fly ahead for a connecting flight? I'm flying PER-MEL-SYD

Which leg do you want to fly ahead on?

I imagine the request would be considered for each individual leg separately.

I did it on the app a few weeks ago. They are not treated as separate segments (same applies if doing Fly Ahead through the call centre). When you view the options on the Fly Ahead page, the earlier PER-MEL-SYD connecting itineraries with availability will come up and you rebook both flights at the same time.

I’m struggling to think of any perks of gold/platinum now that one can’t get by paying.

Fly ahead was one of the last remaining things you had to have gold/platinum for.

Lounge Access, Economy X, Fly Ahead ... all buyable readily now by once a year/decade flyers The Clampetts. Not to mention paid upgrades, often for a pittance.

Some people here would like travel to return to the "good old days" before the democratisation of air travel! Gosh, imagine someone being able to pay for a service, should they wish to buy it. We can't have that!
