Virgin Australia Makes Me Wish I Missed Christmas - One Mile at a Time

Wow!

Fascinating - I wonder what the Christmas eve loadings ex LAX were ...

 

[Denali]

Nice and kudos!

• Velocity Red members received Velocity Silver status
• Velocity Silver members received Velocity Gold status
• Velocity Gold members received Velocity Platinum status
• Velocity Platinum members received 100,000 bonus points

100k points would have been nice indeed.

Full points to Virgin for this. I'm guessing it actually would have cost them a little (on paper at least) but the magnitude of positive free publicity and goodwill would be phenomenal. Super impressed.

Very impressive, well done Virgin.

Some VA passengers may have wished they missed Christmas for a different reason:-

Virgin flight passengers vomit after they were served parmesan cheese sandwiches

(Or was that fake news? The fact that it wasn't picked up and repeated ad nauseam in the media may raise suspicions.)

I think the reports is a little over the top.

I've had the pesto and parmesan sandwich a few times which is totally gross. I don't know whats wrong with a simple ham sandwich.
