• The economy class ‘mini-suite’

    Feb 20, 2026, 04:26 PM

    Could just make two wider seats for larger passengers to use.. Would expect there would be a lot more of those than bassinets or service animals.

  • Is 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..

  • Virgin 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'...

  • I 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.

  • *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...

    So i'm heading to the US at the end of the year - looking at leaving Boxing Day. I have a truckload of velocity points ~650,000 to burn, so looking at options for using them. Leaving from Perth and open to where i end up in the US - though ideally LAX or SFO. Just searching general flights (not a...

  • How far in advance are they putting them up? Hunting for availability departing boxing day.

  • Completely 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...
