  • Virgin Australia shakes up Velocity reward seats

    Oct 22, 2024, 06:09 PM

    Yeah, the only tangible benefit to me was the 2+2 layout (with spacer) compared to 3+3 behind the curtain.  But, hey, I had ex-Covid KrisFlyer Miles to burn or lose (even tho it was only a 40 minute flight).  The Seajets ride between Santorini-Mykonos on the 1200 seat high-speed, A...

    If given the choice of stop-over/plane-change between Doha (QR) and Singapore (SQ), it's a no brainer for me, it'll be Singapore - every .. single .. time.

    Did it for recent flights MEL-SIN-IST, IST-ATH-JTR, MYK-ATH-IST and IST-SIN-MEL across Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines and Aegean Airlines.  The key was to swap out VFF for KrisFlyer Miles.

  • Virgin Community - Focus Group Invitation

    Aug 26, 2024, 11:12 AM

    Just received my first invitation by Virgin to attend an in-person focus group meeting next month. Sadly, I'm unable to attend - and there's nothing I can do to avoid that conflict as I'll be overseas that week. But I felt that Virgin deserves a bit of a 'shout out', credit or recognition here ...

    Very good idea, and not at all hard to do. C'mon VA, get it done!
