    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    Unfortunately, it does not. I flew with them recently and also had QR Gold (thanks to the VA status match) so was able to get the extra legroom and UD Y seats for free. Extra leg room I'd pay for, UD Y was lovely (very quiet, half-empty cabin) but I wouldn't necessarily pay for it, especially if...

    The rules are based on the operating flight. If they’re on a QR flight with VA status then lounge access is available.

    What defines lounge access?

    BA don’t allow OWE into their F lounge (Concorde lounge). And outside of OW, SQ also don’t allow Star Gold into their F (or J) lounges.

    Virgin Australia Middle Seat Lottery

    Actually I did see that the inside of the winglets on NBV has the updated “Virgin” written on them.

    Virgin Australia Middle Seat Lottery

    It looks like a good old Virgin Australia hangar party, nothing to announce.

    Etihad tried to downgrade us

    The 787-10 must have been a once-off as both flights are scheduled as 77W.

    Etihad tried to downgrade us

    Good to hear that was sorted, but just something to note, your MAN-AUH flight was either on a 787-10 or 787-9. Looking at FR24 for the last few days there was a day where one of the AUH-MEL flights was operated by a 789 instead of a 77W, that must have been the day you were due to travel.

    First Upgrade one on sector - QR

    DUB-DOH on a 788 isn't Q Suites. And QR will email you an upgrade offer if there are seats available. I'm flying on Sunday and received an upgrade offer by email last night.

    QF is open 4:30pm-10:30pm. And yes you can access both. I'm QR and VA Gold, might go to QF as I think that's the better of the two. 1665969561 Not really as the flights are operated by QR not VA, so it's QR's lounge agreements with the partnership that's been haphazard.

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Check how many credits you'd get flying ADL-AKL return.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    Very good news! I'm flying on Sunday, but I think I'll still check in as QR Gold (then switch to VA for earning). If they could arrange complimentary seat selection that would really seal the deal.

    Virgin Australia to lease more 737s

    737-700’s don’t have BSI cabins.

    Vaccine Rollout in Australia - personal accounts.

    I’m going to Europe next week and would like to get the 5th shot but I don’t think it’s available to everyone just yet?

    What defines lounge access?

    Manage My Booking. Really you shouldn’t have any issue having VA on the bp, but it just depends on who is manning the front desk.

    What defines lounge access?

    This has been a topic of discussion in a couple of other threads and the consensus seems to be that it's easiest to enter the applicable QF lounge using your QR status and then change the FF details in MMB once in the lounge (or when you're about to leave). That shouldn't need to be the case as...

    Then it goes into a carry on, that's what I'll be doing.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    If someone wanted to leave the airport during a transit and bags were checked through to final destination, the pax could still leave the airport during the transit. The airline won't know they've left.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    Transit it's checked through, stopover (or non-connecting flights) it would just be checked to DOH. I'm flying AMS-DOH-BNE next month and my layover is 20 hours. Unfortunately I can't leave the airport, but my bag will be checked to BNE.

    I don't think QR do stopovers (like SQ do for example). You may need to do a multi-city booking to include DOH.
