Qatar status match delivers Platinum, Gold to Virgin Australia flyers
Jun 09, 2020, 09:25 AMI received a request from Qatar to provide a statement with full contact details on it, but Virgin doesn't seem to do that. They obviously didn't accept my screengrabs. How did other VA FF's provide flight history to Qatar?

Virgin Australia to use Etihad lounge for Sydney-Hong Kong flights
Jun 23, 2018, 01:30 PMI would say it could handle it. Just guessing, but even if you assumed every J passenger on VA1/83 used the lounge, that's only 57 people. If there's say 30 gold/platinum members on each flight, that's still only 110. You may not have a choice of seating, but it would probably still be quieter t...

Australian airport security rules restrict travelling with powder
Jun 23, 2018, 11:40 AMPointless. Far better use of resources would to do a quick TSA style ID-check prior to entering security. I find it a bit strange in this day and age that ID is not required to book, check in or board a flight. These sub-contracted security guards wouldn't have a clue which passengers are actuall...

Best Book The Cook (BTC) options for Singapore Airlines business class ?
Nov 07, 2018, 07:25 PM+1 for the roast duck (itek siow) it's always nicely cooked, full of flavour and a generous serving. The lobster is nice to try for novelty value but a small portion (half tail vs. full tail in first class) - save your lobster experience for the ground.

$700 to upgrade from PE to Business.
Oct 06, 2018, 04:50 PMI wouldn't. SQ Y and W is a pretty ok place to be for 7 hours. I find the A350 J seats uncomfortable, especially with the angle. Plus, when the bed is out, trying to sit up with you legs out is like sitting on a board. The food is nice (esp. book the cook), but feels cookie cutter compared to J m...

Business Reward Seat on Virgin Australia to LAX
Jun 04, 2018, 08:25 AMVA does release seats, however the catch is that you need to be prepared to book last minute. I expect once they know they won't sell many revenue seats after a certain date, they release reward seats T-5 days. I generally book Y or W and then upgrade in the week prior to travel.

Virgin Australia award seats to LAX now available
Apr 05, 2018, 09:55 PMI snapped up a couple for VA1 on 29/4 :) Can anyone explain why, with 14-odd free seats still in J that VA would now close off reward availability for this flight?
