Correct me if I'm wrong and maybe I've missed something here. Don't Virgin Blue have only one class of travel ? Also, from what I've heard their lounges are
not in the same class as the QP's.
Reading forums on FT, a large percentage of the discussion on FF programs and status in them is about either:
1. Upgrades
2. Lounge Access
If you can't offer either (to a competitive standard), I fail to see how it will knock the socks off QFF.
A *A partner in Australia would be nice and I'm sure there is a possibility to link the Virgin credit card to the scheme as well but how far can they really take it without upgrades and decent lounges ?
