Oh yes sorry, I didn't mean a capacity loss of an aircraft on the domestic routes, just was wondering if the routes might change to involve more BNE domestically (and how that might impact PER-SYD/MEL). I might have a look over the weekend and see if I notice any pattern changes.

I wonder if this results in any changes of the A330 on the domestic transcon routes, or if one A330 will pretty much just be stationed at BNE? There's not that much time there in Brisbane, but I guess an arriving domestic aircraft could take on the following international leg. Before the times...

Previously it's shown the same as the standard status credit, just with the value doubled (rather than crediting as a separate line item in your account).

I haven't had any luck with any of the promo codes listed on the website for Freedom fares PER-HBA (via MEL or SYD) for March next year. Was hoping to use my platinum upgrades on the A330 for the first leg (hence the freedom fare requirement).

Just received an email promoting the "Velocity Wine Store". Another Laithwaites reskin site offering the same 2ppd earn rate as the existing Laithwaites Virgin Wines site... The main point of difference I can see is that it's possible to redeem points for wine. But why they couldn't have just...

You'll have to book direct with SQ for any upgrade options using Krisflyer miles (can't upgrade using velocity points directly, and can't upgrade at all from a codeshare). After upgrading you could probably then swap the FF number on the booking to VA to earn the status credits/points prior to...

I'm tempted to move to the flight earlier in the day which is on an F100 (at least they have decent legroom). But the evening 737 flight (which might have been an A320 previously) gets in too late for my plans, so I might just have to accept the A320. If I changed to a 737 flight I'd expect for...

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on the best seats for a PER-ADL A320 flight? Maybe the exit row (row 11)? My December flight has just been swapped to an A320, and I had deliberately chosen the only 737 flight that day so I could choose an Economy X seat. I had also placed an UpgradeMe...

... This is the warning/notice? 3 months.

I *think* the wifi symbol was used for the WiFi streaming entertainment on the 737s? Does it show for the F100s they've installed streaming entertainment on? But I could be wrong. I guess wifi/entertainment and wifi/internet access are not necessarily the same thing/product.

-XFD didn't have wifi/internet as of last Monday. Can confirm -XFG does.

Cancelled my Platinum Edge card yesterday. No incentives were offered for retention/reinstatement.

Sounds like a stressful experience and not well handled by VA but I doubt it was due to sales overbooking - Sydney has been a disaster for the last four days due to strong winds with nearly everything delayed and loads of cancellations (single runway operations). I'm guessing it was done to try...

Scones in the Perth lounge 😋

Remember that in Asia-Pacific, Platinum members already get free breakfast in almost all hotels anyway (any day of the week), so even less to differentiate the Diamond level (not that I'm even close to getting Platinum myself at the moment). See the second tab of this page: List of hotels with...

Currently aboard VH-XFE, and surprised to see it now has in-flight internet access! I don't think I've seen this commented on before, so sorry if it's a duplication.

Yep that's right, and a couple of others have already mentioned this above too. Poor terminology/description on my part in my original post, sorry! (and I can't edit it any more). I meant to describe how "regular" seats previously unavailable to those without status were (or still are?) able to...

I noticed today when checking a seat map that all seats (apart from Economy X) now seem to be available for selection even when not logged in to my Velocity account. I'm guessing this is probably a temporary tech blip, but I guess VA could have just abandoned blocking the forward seats for...
