Status match brings Qantas perks to Virgin frequent flyers
May 21, 2020, 12:46 PMI simply sent an email to "[email protected]" together with newly minted burgundy membership card, copy of my VFF card and travel journeys, politely asking for status match. Timestamp was 11:26a yesterday, before I saw David's post above. No reply as yet.

Virgin Mk II to keep flying to Los Angeles, Japan?
May 13, 2020, 06:43 PMUnbelievable. Of course .... this could have been a Jackie Trad initiative only now discovered by Annastacia Palaszczuk when cleaning out Ms Trad's office. Not even Crazy Dan (Ivan) Andrews would step that far outside of his crease.

Virgin Mk II to keep flying to Los Angeles, Japan?
May 13, 2020, 05:49 PMNo, the Administrator 'has my money', so to speak, but the new owner will want my business (for both cancelled flights now wanting to be flown and all of my future flights).

Bumped Up to Platinum Early
Mar 18, 2020, 03:13 PMYes, a couple of years ago I found myself around 32 short of keeping Gold, but had overseas flights 8 weeks after the review date adding over 400 SCs.

Separate Virgin Australia lounge for business class?
Jul 11, 2019, 02:26 PMOriginally Posted by Sibelius Virgin will never be able to offer the same level of service as Qantas, and in my opinion they'd be foolish if they tried to.

Separate Virgin Australia lounge for business class?
Jul 11, 2019, 02:22 PMYes, I encountered similar on June 20th, but what many fellow travellers FAILED to notice was that the UPSTAIRS lounge was open and in much better shape.
