VA Plat Upgrademe - Bali?

[dxwell]

As a new WP:

• Platinum members are entitled to four complimentary fare upgrades per year from a Freedom fare (fare classes Y, B, H, K, L) to a Business Class seat on Domestic, Trans Tasman or International Short Haul flights marketed and operated by Virgin Australia.

My questions:
A. Does international short haul include Bali?
B. If it does, and I can get a Business Saver on a VA badged SIA flight DPS-SIN-BNE is this a valid upgrade?

Thanks in advance. DC

My understanding is -

A. Yes when marketed and operated by VA.
B. No.

Key word there is 'Operated' - they're only good on VA's own metal

Yes, you need the $700 flexi tickets

wish Virgin still did PER-Bali. Replaced it-said to use Tiger. Then they packed up too. Was a good way to get SC's for Perth residents.

Sorry to hijack....

Can a WP use all 4 upgrades for a family of 4 on the same flight? Assume all must be on freedom fares of course.
