  • Virgin Australia Velocity double status credits offer

    May 21, 2019, 09:20 AM

    I'm currently on the last double SC's run to NZ which will take me from gold to platinum and my partner to hold. I booked business class return launceston via Syd and Brisbane to Dunedin. It is by far the best SC run, but you need to stay overnight at least.

  • Should Qantas, Virgin acknowledge members of Australia's armed forces?

    Nov 07, 2018, 04:31 PM

    Wow, lot of heavy reading here folks and many opinions. As a Veteran I always wear my lapel pin with pride.

    Wow, I thought I was in a QF forum here with Joyce writing a long spiel on QF!I'm gold with VA and very happy. Platinum would offer auto upgrade to economy X, and I believe the free domestic flight but is it worth it if you only fly for pleasure?

  • Macquarie Bank cuts credit card Qantas frequent flyer points

  • Virgin Australia: priority boarding with one guest

    Mar 22, 2019, 04:01 PM

    No one has thought to mention 'pooling', as long as it is your pooling partner, no problem! I've never been questioned in years. But nowadays they give gold away like there's no tomorrow. Personally I am not bothered when I board because we are all going to the same place at the same time. Jus...
