Virgin do have some differential pricing in the same fare bucket, eg. SZDAS vs SZDA and TZDAS vs TZDA. It would be rather unfortunate if they were to contemplate a fare difference for fly-ahead in that circumstance.* *(my preference naturally remains no fare difference for fly-ahead if same...

They have a pilot gold arrangement already, maybe offering that instead of status matches would be the go. It gives access to benefits, not at the top level, and requires some action to keep it.

Apart from school holiday periods I have been regularly able to get VA sale fares on my preferred flights for under $200 and a few under $180. These are relatively popular flights that go out with Y cabins generally in the 80-90% load range. The main increases I have seen are not in sale fares...

Paperwork arrived fine but I just forgot. My island has a pretty much identical platinum shadow island next door and sometimes I get them confused.

I can't say what people do in Adelaide, but in Melbourne I normally just retire to my private island if I want a few drinks

I am not suggesting that precedence denies VA the opportunity to more strictly enforce terms and conditions. I am simply of the view that when there has been such a large and consistent interpretation (or non-enforcement) in one way, it is reasonable to expect a negative response from those...

I think precedence does and should matter. It is reasonable for people to consider a marked change in behaviour as a change in value of the benefit, regardless of whether the fine print changes.

Has anyone had their bonus bonus miles post yet (the extra 20% bonus of 12,000 miles)? I did the selection right after receiving the email and got confirmation screens and emails, but am not sure when to get worried that they aren't there yet (I note that selection of the bonus choice remains...

...and there are multiple reports specifically citing a C-check being carried out The only open questions is whether it is only a C-check. My guess is yes, but I would be happy to have guessed wrong

Targeted email received this morning There's only so many miles that a person can buy!

Same for me with a USDM booking, including the phone agents reading me out the 037 e-ticket numbers. With an Avianca LifeMiles booking I can see the e-ticket numbers on Thai's website (using PNR to access) and Check My Trip. With the Avianca booking, my PNR is the same for both Avianca and...

Talking about upgrades, it seems that we are all too practical to suggest the approach of unlimited free upgrades as per some US schemes. Make the priority on a rolling 12 month status credit basis then you really would have motivation to keep flying after re-qualification. For the amount...

Agree with the frustration - if they get this right (to the extent practical) it takes the pain out of equipment changes

I'm not sure why that's lucky - the expanded lounge is a huge improvement on what was available during the construction period. I don't find the security much of a problem, but then maybe I fly outside peak times (eg. 8pm flights)

I think I know the area you mean - a gap in the glass wall. I looked over the partitions into that area though an couldn't see a door out, so I am not sure how it will work or what that area will be used for.

My email came through this morning and I have selected my 20% extra bonus miles. They didn't appear to post immediately (not that I would expect that) however the confirmation screen makes it look like the 10% discount code would appear immediately for anyone who selects that.

Classic J domestic awards when they earnt status credits Classic J domestic awards when they are discounted (eg. -15%) Classic J domestic awards when that makes more sense than paying for economy Points upgrades to J, but only back in the days that flexi fares were priced much lower relative to...

Now I appreciate that this one impacts a niche group, but it's happened a few times to me at least. An A332 config change occurs, to either XFA or XFB. This seems to be timed right on the airport control change. For reasons best known to VA there are mismatches in seat numbering, both in...

My upgrade over the phone was successful. The phone agent confirmed that there were indeed 5 upgrade seats available (as per ExpertFlyer) and that in her unprompted view the booking starting as a voucher was likely to be the problem.

Thanks, that does make some sense based on the seat map and the seat styles. Have made changes - the best I could do with the blocks in there was 2A + 3A on the first and 3A + 3E on the second
