Apr 06, 2021, 07:20 PMIs there any way to use Virgin points through a partner airline to book to NZ? I'm assuming not, but i've got a chunky amount of points to burn that have been building up for a couple of years now..

Nov 18, 2020, 02:11 PMVirgin really needed to come out swinging on this official day 1 release to show strong leadership and give not only the FF/passengers but the market in general confidence. Yet all they've basically released is the equivalent of "ah.. yeah.. changes? yeah we're ah working on them - oh oh yeah we'...

Virgin Australia CEO Paul Scurrah resigns after Bain takeover
Oct 16, 2020, 03:54 PMI don't think they will - i mean why do they need to. If customers aren't happy with Virgin's new proposition, it's not like they have a variety of choice in airlines to switch too.

Virgin Australia vs Qantas: the tough new battle for business travel
Sep 01, 2020, 02:59 PM*edit* forgot to mention i've flown Business Class on the A330 a number of times, so i know the hard product is far better. But i found the service, whilst great (like still very good, no complaint at all), felt like the flight attendants were spread thin over the cabin and service felt very asse...

Virgin Australia vs Qantas: the tough new battle for business travel
Sep 01, 2020, 02:56 PMI've only flown business in VA on 737's a few times, but have quite enjoyed it every time. The smaller cabin allows for much more attentive/quicker service. The seats were comfy enough, and the flights really aren't long enough to sleep anyway so i don't really see the need for full lay flat seat...

Do "Priority" luggage tags get luggage delivered quicker?
Sep 29, 2017, 03:58 AMCompletely random in my experience - however more often than not they come out closer to the order i check in. If i check in early, they come out later - if i check in late they come out earlier. My first few flights on Virgin when they first launched the coast to coast were the only reliable tim...
