  • Can you get a refund on Qantas, Virgin Australia flights?

    Apr 09, 2020, 09:19 PM

    also like to know what the policy/protocol is RE double status credit bookings. What if Covid 19 impacts on travel are still around when the travel period for a double status credit booking has lapsed. The only reason I booked an upcoming trip was because of the double status promotion - one of ...

  • Which airline frequent flyer programs extend your status?

    Apr 01, 2020, 09:32 PM

    So received my email from Velocity....it's says my benefit period has been extended for a further 12 months....but the date provided is my review date at the end of this year. So that's confusing

  • Which airline frequent flyer programs extend your status?

    Apr 01, 2020, 04:15 PM

    Could someone please clarify RE Virgin Australia - what does an "extra year of status" mean? If you retained status or progressed to the next tier say in Dec 2019 - is the extra year from the date it was announced (so you get a few extra months) or is it an extra year from your anniversary date? ...

  • Status credits from Virgin Atlantic

    Is it poor customer service to not make any announcements about delayed flights?  In the Canberra VA lounge. The previous Canberra to Sydney flight was delayed (some sort of air traffic congestion around Sydney) the flight was coming from Sydney and returning. As I believe my flight (the nex...

  • VA's A330's to Hong Kong and Beijing

    Jan 15, 2017, 06:52 PM

    Was just wondering if there had been any news on VA's plans to fly to China in partnership with HNA? The original information was slated for June 2017, I would have thought if that was still the plan that they would want to be selling seats on those flights already?
