Now $35.02 if you book a return ticket via NRMA (used to be $34)

Not for anything past September, which lines up with their sales dates. Need to book all my Business Class flights for the year before April 2 to maintain Gold under the old scheme; have one lot to book left but the flights aren't until October

You can still ask for sparkling wine. They'll just have to pour a new glass.

What was the red wine?

This was also the two options on VA820 SYD-MEL on the same day (26/12). Orders taken and served 1A-1F, 2A-2F. Only difference that being a short flight, we didn't get a side serving of fruit, but we got the Christmas Lindt Lindor and the fruit mince pie

Your friend must be the only person in here who didn't win 100 points or 10 SC

I got it; 100K points to maintain Diamond. No thanks.

Got 100 points; friend was left empty-handed

Unless you were Layslow flying on VA870

Same options on VA887 MEL-SYD that I took on Thursday 5/12. No chocolate bar though but I was flying on Rewards points; I'd imagine 2A and 2C (who were served first) would have gotten them as the Cabin Manager was quite attentive towards them

I'll stick to my fee-free Velocity Escape and my standard Elevate Amex (which is also $95 from next year but unlike the Velocity Escape Plus, has no points earning cap) ... Might contemplate upgrading to the Velocity Platinum once I struggle to maintain my Gold status come 2026

I liked it but I'm partial to Grenache over Shiraz in general

They also read these forums. I ended up with someone else's booking in my profile and got the time to check in e-mail. Someone from Virgin saw the thread and promptly asked me to contact privacy.

QF545 BNE-SYD 24/11 Beef chorizo, pesto, bell peppers and goats cheese foccacia. It was OK ...

I reckon you could ask for a G&T without issue (going by a few years ago when my seatmate asked for one with breakfast)

Sydney IC is by request. Adelaide is automatic (with complimentary FruChocs at times). Melbourne's is also automatic. Can't remember Perth's turndown service

Yes

I've never had to show my Velocity membership card, however I booked online and this was all at my local SIXT branch who were great when I was renting cars during 2022 while waiting for my new one.

I'd be interested now (assuming the earn rate is still the same). I have an Elevate Amex which earns 1 VFF point and a Velocity Escape card. With the Elevate Amex increasing from $49 to $95 or whatever, it might make more sense to consolidate the two Amexes into the Velocity Platinum Amex Edit...
