Double Points and Status Credits Jan 26-Feb 29
All business class travel between January 26 and February 29 will earn double number of Velocity frequent flyer points as well as twice the usual number of status credits.
Virgin Australia exec Liz Savage revealed the promotion today as the airline’s new domestic business class made its debut.
Savage said the ‘double deal’ would apply to all Virgin Australia domestic business class tickets, including those on the Sydney-Perth A330 ‘Coast to Coast’ run – a move which will see some Velocity members quickly rack up enough status credits to hang onto their Gold or Platinum cards for anther year.
Savage said that the airline would also offer some ‘surprise and delight’ upgrades to Velocity members travelling in economy, bumping them up to business class to sample the new seats and service.

It's likely you have to be in a flex fare to qualify for the "surprise and delight" upgrades to "sample the new seats and service" as I did BNE-SYD-BNE this weekend and didn't hear anything about these upgrades. I even inquired in the lounge about upgrading using one of the 4 Plat comp upgrades and was told I needed a flex fare (I was on saver) and it needed to be done 24 hours in advance. The way down had 3 people in J and the way back was completely empty with about a 50% load in Y.
