    Virgin involuntary downgrade scam

    I got an email yesterday from Virgin saying that due to an aircraft change on one of our bookings we had been downgraded from business class to economy. I phoned the guest centre to discuss options, decided to accept this rather than change the flights - then was told I would have to wait until...

    Error with Velocity Web Site - can't access to book flights.

    If it persists, try using the small font Book command (top left screen on menu), rather than the big red Book Flight button.

    Flying VA codeshare with Singapore Airline

    Thanks masterpabu. I booked the seats thru Virgin web site, was able to immediately access SQ web site to select seats, no drama! Couldn't access page to add passport details etc, though, no biggie, will have to do at airport.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Nothing ain't cheap no more, but for four sectors in a day you could try this. You won't get much change out of $900 though. BNE-HBA: 07:05 to 12:30 BNE-SYD VA 916, SYD-HBA VA1530 HBA-BNE: 15:35 to 18:50 HBA-MEL VA1327, MEL-BNE VA343 And you'll need at least three hours to explore Hobart...

    Link Airways / Virgin Australia expand NSW regional partnership.

    Is it possible to include VA and Link flights on a single booking, does anybody know: eg, to book HBA to Coffs on a single booking - virgin first flight, link second? I've tried but can't get it to happen. PS. Yes it is! Just managed one.

    Booked Flight and car through virgin - Car not provided

    I agree. Always book flights direct with the airline, accommodation direct with hotel, cars direct woth the hire company and tours with the tour company. Maybe a bit more of an effort but gives you more control and flexibility.

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    It is a national standard that dogs (in or out of baskets) are not allowed where food is prepared and/or eaten - no if, no buts, except for service dogs. Hopefully Health and Safetyor someone else will pursue Virgin over this

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    Totally agree 100% I have a deep rooted dog phobia. If Virgin really do go ahead with this I will be racing back to Qantas with my tail between my legs. Pun intended.

    Thanks ... I'm assuming then that bulkhead row isn't blocked out for high status Kris Flyers?

    Singapore Airlines A350 Premium Economy ... best seats?

    Good point, thx. I'm leaning towards the back row of the cabin, to avoid the knees in back or coughing/yakking loudmouths behind me syndrome.

    Ha ha, thanks. One thing I've learnt over the years is to NEVER fly without earplugs. Good ones!

    Yet another question about Velocity status credits and Review Date

    Apologies in advance but I am still struggling to get my head around Virgin's rotating review date policy. I've looked up articles on various web sites but am still confused. My partner's review date is in June. He expects to be Gold by August. Is his review date then reset? Does he then need...
