That's a shame... I need to confirm I understand before proceeding and I really don't understand... can't find any info at all :( Would really like this flight though, just not for me...

Could I please ask a possibly stupid question? I'm trying to book a MEL>BNE flight with Jetstar, coming up as 7,200 points +$38 which is fine as it's Melbourne Cup week and all flights are exxy. Can I book in a 'family members' name? When I go through the booking, it shows my name as the...

Thanks to all for the info. Am I able to use the Virgin lounge on arrival on a same day domestic Virgin flight (Gold member), I'm assuming yes. Am I able to also bring in one guest? Can my guest accompany me even if they don't have their own Virgin same day boarding pass?

I had this issue myself recently. I won Go fares return to NZ, Virgin codeshare with Air NZ. On Virgin's 'My Booking' it shows I have 1 bag included (I'm Velocity Gold). Rang Virgin about something else and the CSR thought to warn me... despite the information in My Booking, no I have no...

Hi all. Quick question from a Maintain Gold newbie. I have 398 of the 400 credits required and my review date is 7 June. I will earn 2 more status credits at the very least shopping at Coles this month but not sure if these credits will make it into my account by 7 June. They are technically...

I too booked a flight during this promo period, received no further communication whatsoever. Phoned customer service (I'm Gold), was on the phone for over an hour with both CSRs denying I was entitled to anything. After lodging a complaint the matter was 'escalated', I received a message to...

Hi all. I'm organising a trip to NZ soon, and will do one domestic flight, Queenstown to Christchurch. As I'm VA Gold I could use some status credits and trying to figure out a way of booking a flight that earns. According to Velocity, only fare classes Q, H, M, V, L, G, W, T on Air NZ domestic...

Thanks so much. Of course I didn’t think it through! O well Virgin domestic lounge for me then.

Quick question if I may. Flying AUH to SYD with stopover in MEL with Etihad. Flights are Etihad but Virgin of course will do MEL to SYD. Am I able to use the Etihad Lounge before my ‘Virgin domestic’ flight? It’s part of an international flight with Etihad after all.

You must have more than one account! Even so, that's over $10,000 on groceries :o I'm single... I can't eat that much! I did earn 8 in December with booze and double points.

Hi guys. Looks like I might be 65-70 status credits short by June. Done the required sectors. I was looking at Syd>Hobart via Melbourne. That's 30 status credits one way in Elevate correct? Or 50 in Freedom? Looking at $444 return via MEL in Elevate (extra $100 Freedom one way). Any better...

Hi all. I'm trying to plan some flights from Sydney to Abu Dhabi for the Dubai World Cup, while maximising my status credits and points with VA/Velocity. Some questions! I've worked out the best way to maximise status credits is to use flight connections in Melbourne and Perth. I can find the...

You are departing before Oct 30 I take it? My November flight has been changed to 10.55am the following day.

How annoying! I have prior commitments on both the Friday and Saturday :(((

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals What with all the talk about Amelia Park, I'm going to unearth the one case of 2012 Cab Merlot and 2 cases of 2013 I have stashed. Based on responses both need a good breathe... decant the day before? Or am I better off leaving them in the cellar for now?

Flying MEL HKG in November (flybuys fare) and am on a Saturday red eye flight (0135 departure). Will the Etihad lounge be open at this time? If not what are arrangements for Gold flyers at this time of night?

Is today's Black Market Riesling for $9/bottle Allegiance Wines Alumni Aged Release Clare Valley Riesling 2012, and if so, is it any good? Thanks!

I'm interested too... has anyone heard anything?

I have received the Explore Gold offer as well. Pretty chuffed as I have always been Red. Great timing for me as I have an upcoming trip to USA with Virgin :) Hoping more experienced Gold flyers can fill me in on the best ways to benefit from my elite status; especially in the US. Flying VA1 SYD...

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals Thanks so much everyone for the replies. I ended up stacking 3.5 high (half dozens on top), with bottom cases sturdy unopened cases. I had thought of the consequences of removing bottles from the stack, and think I will keep a few empty bottles on hand and replace...
