Velocity VIP benefits

[toowongman]

I've had a ticket for 2 seats in row 6 E & F where they have re-assigned the second seat to someone else within an hour of departure - I was pretty pissed.

But while I haven't been bumped from J for someone on VA, I have been in 1A with no one in 1C or D, someone in 1F and row 2 full and had the CS serve the people behind me in row 2A&C, then 2D&F, then 1F - brought all their food and drinks out, and then turned to me and said "oh did you want something?". This was a Flexi points upgrade to J with Silver FF and my first VA J seat. I was beyond furious.

Pretty sure they serve in order of status. VIP>WP>Gold>Silver>red etc. Could be wrong though. If the crew are a bit lazy you can often see the printout they have of all the passengers of note/WPs etc either on the trolley if you're in Y or laying about in the forward galley.

They don't bump people from 1A for VIP passengers but do sometimes serve VIPs first

Actually they can and they do (as do QF). Being in my line of work I'm the one usually having that organised for a VIP

As a member I am sure you could ask and it would be considered but surely only a colossal jerk would do so, particularly in the relatively small domestic business cabin.
