    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    This seems to happen at QF not irregularly but I’m wondering if anyone’s been moved from their selected seat as a VA WP. For my MEL - CBR later this week, I had selected 4A when I booked the flight in January. Checked today and I had been moved to 3D, with all Economy X window seats filled up...

    Amex Card Upgrade

    Update: my Amex app and Apple Pay have updated to show the new Velocity Platinum card rather than the Velocity Escape (which I upgraded from). I previously held the Escape card with a $2000 credit limit and my new credit limit still seems to be $2000, even though the minimum on the Platinum...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    I reckon you'd ideally be looking at a CBR - ADL same day turn in J via MEL. Each flight will earn 55 SCs, giving you 220 in total (110 SCs each way). You can make a weekend in ADL out of it too if you'd like! There are some CBR - ADL routings which take you via SYD, and the booking website...

    New Amex statement credits

    Hi all, Relatively new to AMEX so please forgive me for the basic question. I have two statement credits activated for Myer on my card. One that is spend $150 get $15 back and one that is spend $100 get $10 back. Would I be correct in assuming that if I spend over $150, the first credit will...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF1286 STD 19:55 ATD 20:21 First flight on the QF A220. “Southern Indian Chicken Curry” was the only option offered during this evening departure. It was tasty and the chicken was tender. Probably could’ve had more of a kick to it though.

    Apologies if this has already been answered upthread but does anyone know if QF boards the A220 with forward and rear doors or is it forward door only?

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Hi all, Bit worried about an upcoming flight. I booked QF1286 to Canberra as an economy reward seat to try out the new A220. Just checked FR24 and it looks like it gets cancelled and/or delayed quite frequently. I’m a bit worried I won’t make it to CBR in the evening since I’ll be the lowest...

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    So I just got off the phone with Virgin Australia and they were happy for me to accept the change to the altered flight and also make a change to the unaffected flight for no charge. Not sure if this is standard practice or if I was lucky. Anyway pretty happy with the outcome.

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Hi all, I suspect the answer to this is no but I thought I’d ask anyway. I booked a return VA domestic flight a while back. I’ve just been notified that one of the flights has had a schedule change. I’m aware that I can now change that flight for no fee, however can I also change the...

    Amex Card Upgrade

    I was told six months minimum. Does anyone know if there’s a specific criteria for Amex to send out upgrade links or will they just send one when you ask?

    Reaching and maintaining High Status - What do you do?

    Hi @MelbFlyer Great question. Not sure if there’s many others on the forum that relate but I fly frequently since I’m in a long distance relationship. I’m based in MEL while my partner is in CBR so we each shuttle back and forth every few weekends. We’ve been doing it for a year and I reached...
