  • Qantas eyes flights to India via Singapore, and non-stop too

    Nov 19, 2019, 06:08 PM

    Bacl in the early 2000s approx 03/04 QF went direct to BOM that service back then was hit and miss direct for pax numbers hence why they stopped it. Back then it was run by A333 so would expect the same aircraft type to be used again if and when they go direct to India

  • Virgin to launch Velocity subscription service?

    Nov 12, 2019, 01:24 AM

    I got the Velocity voice email last week and responded it needs to look at a style similar to Club Marriott/ IHG Ambassador/ Accor Plus as options of what benefits it could offer along with the possibility of adding a membership to one of those prorams as a benefit of the VA Offering. 2 Lounge pa...

  • Qantas to begin Sydney-Fiji flights

    Jan 21, 2019, 04:24 PM

    I just looked at dates for when i go to Fiji in October QF is $400 each way more expensive in J than VA. I booked via BNE outbound and MEL inbound to use it for a status run and still worked out been over $700 cheaper on VA. Glad to see though Fiji is getting increased frequency and competition.

  • Virgin revamps domestic meals, drinks

    Jul 28, 2017, 03:14 PM

    Years ago I worked in QFCL and for Triangle routes on the east coast between 10am-4pm they use to double cater for flights, why would VA not look at this as an option John Borghetti was still at Qantas in those days so he would surely be aware of that system and be able to make a much improved of...

    As Chris said there isno VA Lounge in NAN. You can also pay at the door if you dont have priority pass. Dont expect a view from the lounge though as it is on the ground floor and blocked out by heavy curtains

  • Optimising virgin double status credits promo

    Nov 20, 2019, 01:47 PM

    I try to tag a domestic leg onto a trip to either NAN or AKL for the extra status points that gives me in order to retain gold. Generally I do either SYD to MEL or BNE for the domestic legs and in J they provide 50 status credits each with approx 80 for the international sector. The cost is norma...
