Virgin changing its fare structure

[jakeseven7]

SYD-MEL-HBA from memory used to be around $500 in business for 110SC

Currently $384 for 110SC now vs only 32SC when the changes come in

Wow….. 32.

Wow….. 32.

It’s not for everyone but I don’t mind that they are rewarding frequent flyers rather than the casual flyers. If it thins the lounges out a bit that’s an added bonus

Got to thin out the lounges now to fit in all the Amex Platinum Velocity card holders.

cheap biz fares & now throwing out lounge yearly access with AMEX Plat yet making it more difficult to keep status, what VA playing at?

All these cheap fare are to keep status holders to requalify, but then it becomes much tougher from Oct 2025.

Really an inconsistent approach IMO.

The balance of thinning out lounges over loosing paying passengers? what's more beneficial?
the F&B in lounges rather cheap compared to ditching may status holders, just my opinion.
