    As most Mums will attest to, once they've been worn once, white socks are never truly "white" again.

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    MCU43 still active for a BNE-SYD return flight in mid-February that I'm looking to book. Unfortunately other codes referenced (ZXW75, EXZ28 & VUZ11) look like they're dead.

    In SYD lounge for the next hour, awaiting VA965. Can guest 3. Vegetable pies and chicken samosas on the menu this afternoon and it's not very busy. 😋

    I got the same points as paid for...but the bonus SC were a pleasant surprise

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I didn't look at the time, however it did show booking class as J and I've received 55SC for the flight, so I'm guessing that someone took a ticket out of revenue for me 😇

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Same here - got told at gate that catering was not assured, however when onboard our CM made no mention of that. :)

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    VA908 BNE-SYD this morning. I was pleasantly surprised by the beep beep at the gate and being told I was not longer in 3A. Got to the end of the airbridge to see zero queue, and was welcomed onboard. J was full and our delightful CM was offering OJ and water as PDB. Once airborne, the offering...

    Velocity Baggage allowance

    By my reading you appear to be correct, as a Lite fare gives you nothing (unless purchased) and Choice or Flex give you 2 x 23kg bags. Unfortunately I don't you'd get much more than a cut and paste response if you complained though. 😑

    In BNE for the next 30 minutes, can guest 3. Pretty quiet (for AM peak), however coffee line is long and the automatic machine is broken 😪 Chipolatas and scrambled eggs on the menu this morning.

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Please don't give Bain ideas 🙏🙏

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Spot. Freaking. On. Poor performance in baggage handling through and post-COVID also means that most travellers don't want to take the risk of their bags going to another destination, even if a "free" checked bag or two is included with the ticket. These days I'm only checking a bag if there's...

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Poor weather would also be affecting quick turns at the moment as well. No entry/exit from the rear if it's pouring/stormy at BNE/SYD/MEL.

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    Same here. I applied for the Europcar status in early October and still nothing.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    That was on yesterday as well. Have they brought out the chicken sliders and onion rings yet??

    What's the deal with Air North flying Virgin routes?

    Oops...my bad looking at the thread title (Airnorth) and not reading the post (Alliance). Having said that, the F70/F100 are generally fairly decent with both the pitch and legroom...and 2-3 isn't a bad configuration either. My question still stands...

    What's the deal with Air North flying Virgin routes?

    Dare I ask what's cramped and unpleasant about an E190 as opposed to a 737-800?

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    In SYD lounge until VA989, can guest two. On the menu tonight, Chipotle chicken sliders with onion rings, vegetable biriyani with samosas, or chicken and corn soup. Not a bad layout tonight and lounge is about half-full.

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    I won't hold my breath on that getting fixed any time soon.... 😑 Thankfully we just pushed back. 1930ish out of BNE = 2200 into SYD I guess...

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    Departing BNE now, so ETA into SYD is looking like 2100-ish. [Edit] it gets better - now a 20 minute delay due to ATC shortages in Brisbane 😑
