Hi all, It's been years since I've had to research this. Is there a clear best way to fly on Virgin/United to USA nowadays? I want to fly premium economy. I understand this cannot be booked through Virgin Australia anymore. What is the best way to do this? Any tricks? Or threads I should...

Hi all, I'm planning a USA trip May 2023. I haven't travelled for years (like many). Prices seem to be up across the board. Is there meta search site which reliably finds the best prices and provides a real booking? I've been stuck at the airport counter a couple of times getting stiffed on...

My partner lives with her family in Perth, but tries to visit me in Brisbane as often as possible, basically here is her "second home". A lot of our plans are now up in the air, but I want to understand that the actual process and solution would be to see each other again. I live alone, and...

Greetings fellow flyers; after many many sectors, I've finally managed to have a case of left-behind baggage. I left a small item in the SYD lounge and am seeking a Good Samaritan to assist in returning it to me. The item is small, about the size of carry on, is light and not fragile, but...

Since introducing this benefit as detailed here: https://www.velocityrewards.com.au/content/ProgramBenefits/TermsConditions/index.htm#13 has anyone had any success in using their points to do any upgrading? With no evidence at all, I suspect that the seats available to be upgraded to are...

Got a flight BNE to DUD coming up in a couple of weeks, 5 points to anyone who can tell me what kind of aircraft they use for that particular flight. Giddy up.

Good afternoon all, Just a quick query - has anyone had any experience making use of Europcar's Privilege Elite benefit "free additional driver cover"? When setting up a new booking through the Europcar website logged into my Elite account, checking the 'additional driver' box under extras...

Greetings all, I have a situation that (an excellent staff member at) Velocity is currently sorting out for me, but wanted to bounce this off all of you in case someone else finds themselves in the same situation. The people I’m now talking too are people who have the Virgin Money Flyer card...
