Virgin Australia "Milestone Announcement" June 1, 2023

Probably another fizzer like the last one. Doubt there’ll be major improvements for FF.
 
So, the date has been scheduled for some big announcements at Virgin Australia for loyal VA passengers :)

The event will be known as "Milestone Announcement".

Who is excited to see what perks, additions and changes might be announced on the day?


Priority Boarding coming back?? 😂 :cool:
 
Toasters in a lounge? like the 'big' QF/QFF announcements years back which ended up being a toaster in a Tasmanian lounge.
It's much better than that 😂
Happy for you to come back to me after the announcement and tell me I was wrong.
But I know you are just kidding ;)
 
I think it will be all of;

- Upgrading partner flights with velocity points
- New program partners (some big ones?)
- New rewards for businesses using VA/VFF
 
@simmomelb Some of your posts read like you believe you have inside information. Is that correct? Do you actually have knowledge of what will be announced?

Given I said an announcment was imminent, a few days before it happened, and some other info I've mentioned that was true, yes ;)
Unfortunately there is a lot I cannot say other than little bits and pieces, to protect those involved.
I'll say what I can from time to time to help keep us a little more informed.
There are others in here that have this inside info also, but they've also been very careful with what they divulge.
The upcoming announcement is quite exciting IMO and has several new options for passengers.

Well I look forward to hearing about them! I did receive a survey from Velocity a couple of months ago, asking my opinion about various new perks. I'll wait to see which of those perks have gotten through!

Oh good, the most interesting one was only sent to Gold and Plat members I believe.

Are the changes taking effect on the 1st June or will they be phased in?

My thought would be ;

1. Lifetime status
2. Higher tier than WP
3. International Flagship lounge
4. International routes with wide bodies

"Milestone Announcement".
Also makes me think about a tier above WP as in a *milestone* to be attained/achieved ...

Emphasis on *loyal*

My immediate reaction is milestone meant as in “the program has reached a milestone” or in the way SQ uses it in KrisFlyer “milestone rewards”? (The latter is where l certain things are granted when you reach certain milestones (in terms of miles earnt travelling on SQ/Scoot).

Do you remember any of the proposals? I would still have been silver back then.

Unfortunately not kidding about the sandwich toaster in the QP at Hobart. Announced with fanfare!
