    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    I think I'm pretty out of luck but I booked some BNE - PER flights yesterday during the sale (that was ending yesterday) as it seemed like the best I was going to get, only for them to go even lower in today's happy hour sale. I'm a little annoyed if I'm honest, as the difference does add up...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Speaking of. VA469 PER-BNE today. Options were Miso baked Chicken with Noodles, Bok Choy and Shiitake mushrooms, or Vegetable Thai Green Curry with rice. Both came with some sort of antipasto plate too. Partner and I both went the Curry I'm afraid so no picture of the chicken, but looked like...

    Booking with Velocity Points

    Yeah it's been happening for a while. For some reason during booking a flight, it hasn't picked up that you're logged in. I don't know the exact fix but you'll need to try login during the booking again, even if it says you are logged in. Weird I know, but should work.

    VA flight changes resulting in an overnight connection

    Double check your junk email box, my Virgin flight changes keep being sent there for some reason. Saying that, yes it's fine to call and ask for other options.

    Velocity reinstates Singapore Airlines redemptions

    That's what I did you make it quicker to find seats using VFF. Any saver rewards I found on Singapore Airlines site, I was able to find on Virgin site. Waitlist obviously won't show though. Helped me find a bunch of J seats between Brisbane, Singapore and Japan in Feb/Mar at least

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    In Perth lounge now. Not too busy and plenty of food coming out. Couple of soups and some some sausage rolls. I'm not into alcohol so soft drink for me, yet somehow they have ruined the Coca cola mix, at all 3 points, just super watery and not great. To small of an issue to complain...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    VA472 BNE - PER last night. Options were Spanish chicken with mash or Korean fried rice with veggies. I grabbed the chicken and partner grabbed the fried rice. We both liked what we got, being our first time in business class, though my chicken felt a bit thick to try get through on a warped...

    Business reward changed from direct to stopover

    Ah, that's something then. If it's late getting in then it'll be late going out again i suppose. Yep both flights in 1D/1F and on 737 as far as i can tell. So it would mostly come down to, is the extra travel time worth another (short) flight in business and time in another lounge? Wouldn't...

    Business reward changed from direct to stopover

    Thanks for your great response Odysseus, it's given me some good info to work with now, now that i know it's on them. I thought i did enough research on alternative direct business seats on that day but now that i look at EF, i can see those 2 seats free, so that might be a good option to try...

    Business reward changed from direct to stopover

    You are correct but yes not QF so no change in plane type and by the looks of it, I might be glad not to be.. I consider a decent increase in flight time, with the chance that I miss the stopover and have to wait another night an issue no? It's not like there is hourly flights to Perth, It flows...

    Business reward changed from direct to stopover

    Hey all I recently booked a trip for my partner as I on BNE-PER return June 23rd to July 3rd, using the recent 30% discount on reward seats. As i've only flown on Business once before, i wanted to treat us both with a Business reward seat going over and normal economy back. As normal, which i...

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    Yeah that makes sense! There was a message on the supporting documents screen last night which is what had me a bit worried, but sounds like it will be okay. This was the part of the message which i wasn't sure on:

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    That's what i thought might be the case, though it's good to hear others agree. I'll keep AFCA in mind if it gets to that point. Thanks! :)
