    New VA Fare Structure

    I am not sure how you really 'rort' fly ahead. If there is an empty seat on a earlier flight and you only have carry on, what extra cost is it for VA?? They always can say, "no". Then they have the extra cost of feeding and watering you in the lounge............

    New VA Fare Structure

    As I understand it currently, Row 3 can only be seen by Plats in the seat selection charts, hence only Plats can select seats there. (currently with no fee). If it becomes Space+, then anyone can see it on the seat selection chart,whenever, and take it if they wish to pay the fee. They are the...

    New VA Fare Structure

    Seems anything could be 'enhanced' without much notice. Things that concern me are the apparent gap developing between VA and Velocity, the non availability of J long-haul redemptions on VA metal, EY redemption increased charges and the possibility of EY and SQ getting impatient with VA's...

    Don't think the OP is referring to awards tickets.

    Codeshare to SIN and HKG with stopovers

    The problem seems to be getting a stopover. The code shares only seem to work if you have direct connecting flights Australia-SIN-HKG. VA will not sell you a code share SIN-HKG ticket on its own. Very happy to be proved wrong.

    Global Wallet - Bonus Points

    We did a fair bit of Delta in November last year. Two of the lounges (including one in Atlanta) denied us access after showing my Velocity Plat card. Do not cry, stand your ground. You do have access. I carry a Velocity plat bag tag attached to my carry on. It does say Virgin Australia. This...

    We broached one last night. 'Pleasantly inoffensive' was the verdict. Pale, dryish, good bead, it was OK. Is anyone else having problems acessing the VM web site? Using Safari/OSX10.10.5 anything I try just comes up with the 'something is borked' page. Same with Firefox. Iphone seems to work.

    EY AUH First Class Lounge reopened- Do Platinums have access?

    Currently sitting in the (very nice) AUH J lounge. Absolutely no access to the F lounge for VA plats. Staff here cannot understand it, and pleaded us to complain to VA/EY. Apparently Jet Airways are the same situation. As an aside, the opened this week, Casa Alitalia lounge at Malpensa...
