    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    VA346 BNE MEL 14OCT Katsu or Korma. katsu was selected and didn’t disappoint. Super tasty. VH-VUK has new J seats and no divider. fav part of flight was the incredulous look on 1D when Y pax went past to the loo. Shaking head and rolling eyes. Great form!

    I had Pat last night on VA973 and same meal. She’s a star. Great flights apart from the person behind me who was very entitled & rude to Pat. While they had a genuine complaint, it was how condescending they were.

    Virgin changing its fare structure

    I would expect this will translate to general public fares too.

    VA1400 BNE ADL Cajun Chicken was my choice, second option was pumpkin pasta with optional chorizo, with a good little chocolate cake, dusted with raspberry stuff on top. Very noice.

    VA469 PERBNE Good old Thai green curry and a new one I haven’t encountered yet, eggplant ragu. I took the latter. CM dropped off beverages with the cheese and crackers first then meals came out later. I liked that approach. Meal was great, passion fruit cake with whipped cream was delicious...

    Was just on a flight where the CM announced the internet was not working, but it worked seamlessly for me!

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    I’ve often wondered how the Lite fares impact operations, as they do not include checked baggage. Leisure pax are attracted to these fares from a point, and they are incentivised to then take maximum carry on. And there is only so much room in those overhead bins. Anecdotally, the flights...

    BNE ADL VA1384 0615 PDB offered but sparkling water was only permitted after departure. There were two egg options, I couldn’t tell the difference but everything I had was tasty and satisfying. My eggs has bits of bacon in it, with some edamame beans, a side of fruit and yoghurt and a slice...

    Double Status Credits - October 2023

    I booked BNE ADL BNE during DSC period and then rebooked to BNE SYD ADL BNE outside the promotion. I wonder if the DSC only applies to the original booking prior to exchange (which would mean I only earn DSC on the original ADL BNE sector) or all flights on the new ticket. Or potentially also...

    VA471 PER-BNE 2DF 2AC 1AB 2AC Options were some vegetable grill thing that I missed the details on, and a spicy chicken with chat potatoes, hummus and flat bread side and chocolate brownie desert. Also the usual cheese and crackers came along for the ride. I went for the chicken and it was...

    UpgradeMe pricing and success

    I’d put in a points Upgrademe on waitlist a few weeks ago for PER-BNE. I missed the memo about OLCI wiping out the request, and called at T-25 and was able to re-request it and confirm straight away. Originally was scheduled to be a new 737 Max but subbed out for a regular 800. Can’t have it all.

    Platinums can now use complimentary upgrade from a Choice fare

    I’ve used mine recently for my partner travelling on a separate PNR (I’m booked as reward on same flights). It sounds like you mean on bookings where you’re not travelling at all, I guess you could be creative and book a flexible fare and then upgrade the families booking, then refund.

    Rex launches its own frequent flyer program (in October 2023)

    I flew on Tuesday morning, TA added my new FF number on Monday to the PNR. No points hit my account and so I put a claim in yesterday which was rejected because it was for a future travel date, but also that membership number was in the booking. So perhaps rather than a flat out rejection the...
