    2024 AFL Grand Final

    Yea I am an MCC member, and know how that all works. Unfortunately I am a restricted MCC member, not full MCC member. The only difference between full membership and restricted membership is access to the GF. And the only way to go from restricted to full is time….wait and wait…and wait some...

    2024 AFL Grand Final

    Hi all, am a mad Sydney Swans fan, was there on Friday night at the Prelim which was great fun. Unfortunately have found out this morning that my old man and I have missed out on tickets in the Swans ballot through our memberships. So thought I would throw a hail mary out the community here if...

    Have Virgin cancelled the 'Fly Ahead' benefit again?

    No issues doing it in the lounge, and they were happy to move earlier if I wanted.

    Have Virgin cancelled the 'Fly Ahead' benefit again?

    Ok…I think there might be something happening behind the scenes on this…as have had a new one just now. Got on SkyBus in Mel just now and called the contact centre and asked for fly ahead on MEL-SYD. Booked on 8pm. Want 5:30pm. She said yep fair class (Choice) is all ok, but we can only do up...

    VA lounges becoming sporting clubs

    Melbourne lounge has the area that used to be where the direct security exit was, they should convert this space in to a group space for sporting teams and the like. Similar Sydney, stick them upstairs…

    Virgin business class Bali flights rip-off

    As a platinum I find it ok. Get free economy X which is way better than a Jetstar A320 Econ seat. Also free Wifi worked for most of my last flight. Only thing I wish Virgin had was the ability to preorder a meal so there was better options. LCC do this, so not sure why Virgin can’t make it...

    Velocity Award Booking - Force Connection to Specific Flight

    Yes agreed...and I have done before on other programmes....but couldn't find any evidence of anyone doing it with Velocity, and this was my 6th HUCA to find someone who would actually do it....and price it as a through ticket.

    Velocity Award Booking - Force Connection to Specific Flight

    And e-tickets have been issued, happy days! So I think the crux of it is, get them to create the manual "multi destination" booking and then send it off for manual pricing. My connection is 17h 45m.

    Velocity Award Booking - Force Connection to Specific Flight

    Success! I did it! So at first she said the flight doesn't exist (with the later connecting flight that I wanted), when she was looking for DPS-SYD, only had the 2-3 early morning connections through BNE. Then I said to search segment by segment and she was like oh yes the flight exists, I...

    Have Virgin cancelled the 'Fly Ahead' benefit again?

    It is by far the best benefit of being platinum. Followed by Row 3-5 seating.

    No Virgin Happy Hour…

    Thanks for those. The Thursday weekly was pretty much like clock work. I have seen a week without it this year I don’t think as usually book my flights Thursday night for 2 weeks ahead.

    No Virgin Happy Hour…

    So it doesn’t appear there is any Happy Hour this week? Usually Thursdays 4pm-11pm. Means cheapest Choice Fare MEL-SYD is $140. This where the demise of REX hurts consumers…as the 2 incumbents can ramp up pricing…

    Have Virgin cancelled the 'Fly Ahead' benefit again?

    In this scenario I would have gone direct to gate of flight you wanted to get on and ask the agent at the desk.

    Have Virgin cancelled the 'Fly Ahead' benefit again?

    I have also done it where I don’t even go to the lounge, I look at the boards once I pass security and just go straight to gate of flight that is departing soonest from MEL-SYD. As long as it is 30min before scheduled departure (I have been unsuccessful when say 20 mins from departure as they...

    Have Virgin cancelled the 'Fly Ahead' benefit again?

    Literally did it successfully in the MEL lounge 40 mins ago. Plat booked on MEL-SYD 7:30pm service, asked if any seats available earlier when I arrived at lounge at 6:10pm. Got put on the delayed 6:30pm service no issues at all. Taxiing now. Row 5 with vacant middle seat. I successfully do it...
