    Bonus VA status credits offer - March 2024

    I don't care either way, just that it is then not a 'frequent flyer' programme by definition. Would make more sense to be called 'frequent spender', or 'furthest flyer' or similar!

    Bonus VA status credits offer - March 2024

    Actually thinking about this more, lots on here don’t like the ‘easy status’ and that it should be for actual Frequent Flyers. So why shouldn’t say 30 sectors flown in 12 months qualify for gold and 50 sectors qualify for platinum. The definition of a frequent flyer!

    Bonus VA status credits offer - March 2024

    Don’t 100% agree. I do SYD-MEL return weekly. Approx 90-100 sectors a year. A lot of BIS time! If that is Lite fares only that is only 450-500 status credits. Just keeps gold. So need to make sure enough choice fares getting in to the mix.

    It's a stupid sale. I can't see how they have done this commercially. They didn't need to go that cheap. You probably still would have bought at $200 return? So they have done themselves out of revenue.

    Platinums can now use complimentary upgrade from a Choice fare

    So you would prefer no option to use them on Choice fares at all?

    SkyBus gone up again [Up to $23.90 one way]

    I have done PTV before, but just sucks up too much time. Work is paying…but it is not client reimbursable…it is overhead…and it is small business…and I am shareholder…so keeping costs down and balancing value of time of equation!

    SkyBus gone up again [Up to $23.90 one way]

    The 10 trip at $170 is still ok I think at $17 a trip. Lasts for 12 months.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    Thanks. So with the seat cap in place (how many is it?) what is their actual real load factor percentage?

    It’s just so stupid how they have gone about all this. REX have been much smarter with their jet play. Setup a new route. Let it develop. Don’t stretch the fleet. Have the best on time performance and service going around and they have slowly built it up. Lock in public confidence on delivery...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    Are the load factors based on the plane size? Or doesn't it take in to account reduced capacity restraints on the route? Or can they take a full load now?

    Thailand travel dilemmas

    What do you mean you ‘can’t book a flight for your littlest one’? They must have a ticket even if they are an infant on lap. Without a ticket (which will be attached to one of the adults) they can deny boarding. You can also buy a seat for them if you want more space. A lot of people do this...

    It is utter stupidity how they have tried to expand so fast and stretched themselves so thin. They should have consolidated before doing this.

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Yes. I have had reasonable success at this. Always at the gate only though. I have asked at the lounge before and they have said no, but then succeeded to get on the same flight going to the gate! When I get to the airport I generally go straight to the gate of the flight departing soonest to my...

    Velocity 20% bonus points on transfers offer - November 2023 to January 2024

    If you turn on auto transfer, can you then turn it off again? I couldn’t see anything in the FAQ that prevented this? Or stopping the BP being issued if you did stop it?

    Denali Demo and Rebuild

    Interesting, often they do a first pass spray of paint before hanging doors and installing cabinetry. But doesn’t look to be any done yet? Have to be careful protecting all those surfaces for paint now.

    Article: Virgin Business Class: Domestic Tops International

    The Darwin closure is cough. The fully fitted out lounge is still sitting there. Surely they can come to an agreement of even some cheaper lease rates to reopen it.
