I did get "non qualifying points" base and elite bonus and some other benefits when I stayed at Indigo hotel in NZ after it being booked through third party. So you never know.

Live a little....look beyond Accor if you fancy VA status points... They won't be going away.... And with a purpose. .. excellent. 😁

Yep, with all the changes you would have thought they could have made this simpler and easier for plat members ...but nope. They will reduce the price for economy X seats through this promotion and that promotion for everyone else and give nada back to plats! Many have never been able to use the...

That's Birmingham for ya generally...🤣

OT, but once, some years ago, I had completed my car hire requirement two days early. Rather than pay high car parking costs I returned it to the airport (Bristol UK) and said early return, and also said I did not particularly like the car (which was true but did not interfere with my revised...

I know what you mean and that was my initial thought. Again, VA and VA Holidays are not the best in clarity with the first read and how ones attention is first "grabbed" where the page pop up does seem to draw attention to Bali and the Gold Coast.

Not much different between First and Biz also...and cheaper than the above example ...

I'm going to take my time and look for some credit enhancement of interesting options from Perth. In the meantime I've just booked a business class trip to Karatha and a couple of nights. Never been so a relatively good reason to go! 😁

Nah it's fine and doing it again in April. The seat is actually in my opinion more comfortable than the 350 suite. 😁 Many are in transit and actually step of then onto BA for European or Domestic connections allowing to be at destination by noon or before. It's also an add on to an existing...

I find it an overrated hotel and the Rydges web site generally a pain. I often wish the hotel was Acor or IHG. I avoid it now. I hate the check in procedure also. Room are not that brilliant and the best thing is a runway view if you are prepared to pay for one night there what a return fare can...

So I am assuming that this includes all flights with hotel booked through the Virgin Holidays web? I'm confused by what is meant by "select"? Looks like a good deal....maybe?

Any nice aviation museums worth considering as part of this deal around the country? https://www.virginaustralia.com/au-en/holidays

I guess the cynic in me says why set renewal levels when you are willing to have them bought (in this case for points). Meet the levels then move on. Don't then so be it. VA perhaps have made a mistake dunno....but one wonders if they will ever revert...or ease the requirements. 🤔

Just seen the email also. Tried it. Also not working!!

Guess they are really not bothered then despite what some say. 🤔

Still preferable than doing multiple transits at SYD imho!! 🤔🫣

It all needs to be put into perspective. Often BA flights even in biz are very reasonable in cost despite the higher airport tax. Also if you are transiting Heathrow with one PNR you don't get hit twice with the tax.

Yeah Jettime it's basically AY but in a 737 800 most likely...(Aircraft that AY do not actually flying)....spare middle seat in biz and 3-3 down the back. All chosen OW FF programme remain as if flying AY. Nordic (Norra) is operated for AY regionally ..usually ATR72 family or Embraer jet.

No..I did not take that into account. Good point.

Only 6/10. Some I knew ok others just a guess...which I got wrong!! 😫
