    VA reward seats no longer available to book

    Until the end of June for now, yes. That's why I changed my booking to July. The flights are still on sale for cash (or any seat), just no reward seat availability for any of them.

I'd used my platinum upgrade vouchers on the PER-MEL legs. In any case, whilst...

    VARA A320 seating options (737-800 swapped out)

    How often does Virgin change aircraft types on Perth domestic legs?

    Fairly often unfortunately. I had my upcoming Easter PER-MEL flight swapped out for a 737 too recently. Yes! The A330 is a far far superior business experience! I'd keep an eye out for any more swaps, and keep changing your booking if there is A330 business award availability - after all...

Sure enough I...
