VA platinum upgraded to J through points from Mel- Hkg. Upon arriving into HK, I called up the customer service centre to see if there were any upgrade opportunities (points or paid upgrades). The agent told me no seats are available through points or paid. The cabin the 100%.

6 people either didn't check in, or changed their flights

Based on the number and that they're all in the same class, probably a group booking that bailed or changed last minute as Grannular suggested.

I find VA's upgrades are very hit and miss. I bid for an upgrade SYD/DPS using points. Never heard a thing. I enquired at check-in and also at the gate. The flight left with empty J seats. Not impressed as a Gold Member.

Because gold with virgin is so difficult to attain?
