Virgin perks w Kris Flyer Gold

[Lisa bell]

How do I prove to virgin that I’m now Kris Flyer Gold? Just show them checking in ? Or call before hand ? I would like to have it reflected on my boarding pass? I gather I get lounge access and what else ? Higher chance of points upgrades ? Thanks for help a newbie

No need to show them. Just make sure its noted on your booking and will appear on your boarding pass automatically.

Make sure your Krisflyer number is attached to your Virgin booking.

I would like to have it reflected on my boarding pass?

Yes the boarding pass will show the Gold status provided the number is attached.

I gather I get lounge access and what else ?

You get :
- Access to the Virgin Australia lounge (plus one guest who is also travelling Virgin the same day) prior to departure only.
- Priority check in/boarding/baggage.
- If departing Brisbane or Melbourne 5am to 10am Mon-Fri or Sydney 5am-7am Mon-Fri you can use the priority security lane or premium entry.
- One extra 23kg bag when booked on a choice/flex/reward seat fare and one extra 32kg bag booked on a business fare.

Nope, as a partner gold holder there are some benefits you don't (which someone with Velocity Gold does) get these include no higher upgrade priority, no extra legroom/preferred seats, no lounge access on arrival, lounge guest must also be travelling and no fly ahead.

You can only pick one, so if you want easy recognition of status then you need to remove the Velocity number and change to your Krisflyer number.

Obviously by changing it this means you'd earn points with Krisflyer instead of Velocity so if this is important then you should keep the Velocity number in the booking. You can still get all of the benefits I listed above by showing your Krisflyer Gold card at each step along the way however this obviously creates more hassle.

You can't have both.

You'll need to pick one only.
