V has expanded their flight destinations

[chunky]

They have added quite a few. Some include Salt Lake City and $1299 to Seattle! Makes that option an interesting one for possible trips up into Canada.

Will be staying tuned to this development.

I just hope they'll re-issue tickets, at no 'change flight fee' to add on new destinations like SFO (for $49) etc. on Virginamerica.

who would you be flying with on the domestic legs....? Virgin america or united?

Scrub United, Pods. Baggage fees.

I'll be looking at LAX to SFO on Vamerica, and taking the car. Then Tahoe then SFO and a nice flight back. Then a trip to Catalina Island.

PS I suspect Velocity might soon share points with more airlines.

Vaustralia and Velocity Points is teaming up this week with VirginAmerica and Vamerica's Elevate Points.

At least for new tickets (and I hope my 'old' tix for next January can add LA-SFO-LA without any penalty as a 'all the way single ticket with international baggage all the way), one can book all the way on Vaust and Vamerica to their destinations. San Fran, Salt Lake & Seatlle look interesting. Baggage goes all the way too.

V is about to announce the cancellation of the Melbourne to Los Angeles route.

They have sacked the ground staff in Melbourne that were about to start work in a few months.

Not fare!!!!

That really mucks my plans.

Flying Mel-Syd with domestic luggage, then waiting, then 14-16 odd hours means I'm just to bushed to wait for a plane to Reno or drive. Not happy jan.

Will they offer to put us on Qantas direct, or Air NZ via Auckland?
