    Does Platinum Status get priority to reward seats

    There are plenty of business class seats on flights from Doha to many Europe locations, the problem, to get to Doha, everyone is leaving from the same place (in my case Melbourne) and hence those seats are limited.

    Does Platinum Status get priority to reward seats

    I was wondering if Virgin Platinum Status get priority to Business Class reward seats with Qatar through Velocity. If they do, does that priority apply to anyone that the Platinum Status member books a reward seat for, or does the Platinum member need to be flying? Thanks
