Two month trial of Platinum Plus

[ferntree]

Got email from Virgin today welcoming me to a two month trial membership of Platinum Plus. Anybody else? Must admit there really does seem to be little benefit other than an ego boost but I'll keep an open mind ...

Yes, I've received the email too. Woot! Quite unexpected, but certainly nice. I have a couple trips planned in the next few months.

I've been booking a lot of J fares lately for the (much fewer) times I fly these days, so even Economy X benefits has been less useful as Platinum member, and I haven't been able to use the Upgrade vouchers for a couple years now.

I got to Partner Platinum last year, and am still waiting to assign that benefit to my wife (who dropped to Gold), but now I have the P+ Partner Platinum benefit to assign too.

Shame they can't bring a Lounge back to my home port of CNS. It would be nice if they could give an F&B voucher at non-lounge ports for J and high Status members in lieu of the lounge.

That is the one thing I still miss since switching from Qantas to Virgin post covid: no Virgin lounge at Hobart airport, and in the general departure lounge it's survival of the fittest!

A lot of fanfare. Not much else.
