Virgin Australia "Milestone Announcement" June 1, 2023

[ChrisMars]

About to do a bunch of redemptions SYD-LAX, I wonder, with supposition on redemption points changes, if I'm better doing them today or tomorrow!

Can velocity change effective immediatly its t&c, or do they have to give reasonable notice before doing a change? If the later I would wait tomorrow to see what is changing.

 

[oz_mark]

A milestone would be just getting the basics right.

Usb every seat. Wifi each plane. International Lounge options. A decent onboard BOB menu, hot food. A decent website. I think staff wouldn’t mind a decent wage either.

If it is a Velocity announcement, I can't see many of those being involved. They would be more Velocity program focussed.

The terms say they will try to give 30 days notice of significant changes.

Calendars OK but I'm not.
Just moved into a new house that was left a mess and got tradesman going everywhere and a pool trying to bring back up. I don't know my cough from my elbow at the moment

you can plug in your devices 24/7, airport, home, car everywhere, you really need usb for 90mins in the air?
you can use wifi on your devices 24/7, airport, home, car everywhere, you really need wifi for 90mins in the air?
you can eat 24/7 well not while sleeping, you really need a full menu of food on a plane? HAS to be hot food? don't a few items suffice?

staff a decent wage, of course, but everybody always wants more & more, everybody could do with wage increase, alas we survive.

open a good book (not the bible), have some 2 minute noodles & enjoy your destination FFS.

Glad that everybody can at least agree on a good website!

USB really should be installed on the VAi 738s alongside the incoming MAX-8s, considering the VAi 738s and the incoming MAX-8s will primarily be doing international runs (assuming the DPS/NAN/VLI schedule (alongside HND) on the MAX-8 sticks)

The VAI -800s already have USB’s.

I'm interested in what the announcement will be as well. If it relates to FF status, then may I suggest you post it here as I'll be collating the information and taking it to the Platinum Members Forum I've been invited to on 6 June: Email received from VA - Share your thoughts, and lunch with our Velocity CEO

I think we'll find they jumped ahead of the embargo period as it hasn't been formally announced on the VA newsroom yet.

OT but needs to be said somewhere, I know they are normally great however I wish I had the name of the not so nice (read nasty) FA that we had MEL-HBA on VA1320 last Thursday as i would put in a report.

You can still lodge a complaint without the name?

perhaps it'll be a 40% off points and pay play
