    Return of Wifi on Virgin Australia

    I quite like the lack of wifi, and the ability to disconnect for 2-4 hours.

    Link Airways / Virgin Australia expand NSW regional partnership.

    Since I travel SYD-DBO a lot I wish they'd do this route, I'm a VFF but am forced onto QF or ZL.

    VA2.0 International Partners

    I know, I'm from there, but train Munich to London is an all-day affair while a flight is ~2 hrs.

    VA2.0 International Partners

    So as a VFF Gold what are my best options for internal Europe flights? Are there any? Most likely Lufthansa, BA, etc. I can only figure out hoping for a status match program to one of their programs?

    Velocity status on Singapore Airlines

    I also can't find a way to change a reward booking to have my VFF number - or my wife's. Both only give us the option of entering a KF number. I might ring them and ask them to do it.

    Virgin Australia and Qatar Announce Strategic Partnership

    This is interesting. It looks like a good arrangement but I am very anti-Qatar due to the horrendous issues surrounding the upcoming world cup, in terms of corruption and human rights abuses, and very reluctant to support their state-owned flag carrier. I'm also concerned that there's more...

    VA Beyond Tier to replace the club

    SYD. VA have confirmed that theirs remains closed. The SYD international and domestic terminals are widely spaced, with a decent bus ride between them. And with current SYD queueing dramas, unlikely.

    VA Beyond Tier to replace the club

    Big woop. Flying international tomorrow with VA, need to be at airport 3 hrs early, am Gold so check-in shouldn't be as bad as for the masses, but then... no lounge to spend all that extra time in. All international Lounges remain closed. As long as the VIPs are catered for though...

    Wonky Comms from VA

    Same... I have a trip to Fiji booked in April and the email saying "we understand that you don't have a trip to Fiji booked" is weird.

    VA2.0 International Partners

    Sigh 80,000 VFF points sitting here, and ready to book a family trip to Europe for Xmas on SQ using all my points with them, if I could transfer those to Krisflyer to top up my balance there it'd be nice. I'm *just* short of enough points to fly us all over in J.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Current sale for Syd - Ballina/Coffs has Flex for $175 each way with 25 SCs. So that's 50 SCs return, and with the current bonus SC offer, potentially 100 SCs for a $350 trip.

    Virgin to Fiji 2022

    I've booked for April, using travel bank. Cancellation is fine till 28 Feb so if it's uncertain then, or 2-week quarantine still exists, we cancel. Easy. Accomodation is also booked and only needs to be paid 7 days out.
