    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    I had to check each and single day and city combinations to find a J ticket on QR. The Velocity Call Centre refused to check manually for 2 sectors showing on BA and AA but for some reasons wasn’t showing on Velocity BCN-HKG as well as BCN-BNE. I wonder if it’s a lack of training or just a...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Good morning, Quite a while ago I applied for the VA status match with my QR Plat status which was also matched from EY. I received mid-April 2022 that my Gold status would be extended for one year on 1 JULY 2022. I just logged on and my status has dropped to Silver. Is that some kind...

    Air Canada took my money but no booking ??

    On your transaction statement or banking app - are you able to see your ticket number or PNR if the transaction shows as settled ? Otherwise it should really ‘drop’ from your credit card activity statement. I’ve found that ANZ and CITI are the slowest to drop pending transactions or credit...

    Adding infant ticket with Qatar Airways

    I've read on FlyerTalk somewhere that the passenger had to persist and call QR until they found someone who was able to issue an infant ticket and had to pay taxes. He reported that he succeded by calling the QR US support line. I'll link the thread when back home if I can find it again.

    The House Sydney Airport

    Like Expresso martinis and co? We've had two of those and a mojito on my previous visits with my partner - albeit being EY Plat - unsure if that would change something.

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Unfortunately I have no idea :( - I had great success using their Twitter and I provide them with all the information including the ticket number. They can then provide you the VA PNR (for EY revenue and awards tickets on VA as an example).

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Try to use the VA app. It often doesn’t work on the website when ticketed on an other carrier for a VA-operated flight.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    That's interesting. Boost has launched its new roaming options so Telstra may have changed the VOWIFI preference over cellular. I haven't tried since plans were launched but on my previous trip overseas in August/September, vowifi works everywhere in France/Germany/Spain, onboard Etihad...

    eSims, what is your experience.

    No, as long as the second SIM card has access to the internet in the country you are visiting, your Telstra Boost SIM card will be connected with wifi calls. You can send/receive sms and mms to Australian phone numbers for free and call Australian phone numbers anywhere for free. It’s fantastic !

    Virgin/Etihad Check-In/Check-Thru?

    Yes - all the way to ZRH. All the way to ZRH with priority tags on EY (works very well) - it should come out automatically. Very easy - just a quick walk to the INTL terminal landside. On my previous two connections VA-EY all went well and QF-EY on EY-issued tickets, I had to stop by the EY...

    Rescheduled flight, Etihad cancelled ticket

    I would assume that VA is 'owning' the ticket and will follow their SOPs with schedule changes/time change on award partner itinerary. The EY booking engine would be only configured in default for their own ticket stock and offer the same options for all ticket holders in case of schedule...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    I would also assume that this is likely around that date that the partnership between ANA and Virgin would be finally in effect - offering Velocity members earn/burn across the NH network and vice versa ? Hopefully the timing will be right.
