Question on using Virgin Australia as a UA elite
A few questions on this partnership:
1) Do any of the 1k benefits carry over to a companion? I.e. can they join in the lounge, etc.?
2) Have an award ticket with the first segment on VA then a 17-hour connection then onward on UA. Do you think VA could short check the bag for only the first segment so I have it during the layover?
3) I tried to grab seats for that first segment but VA site was giving me errors. Is that normal or expected?
