    Made a booking via bestjet and got eticket confirmation but none of the details seem allow booking to show on VA website.

    Just got the following from eDreams:

    Cancelled booking

    We are sorry to inform you that we have experienced problems with the operating airline’s server. We cannot confirm your flight.

    Please try to make a new booking on our website again.

    • cyrax83 on 08/11/2016 - 09:30

      Fail! No wonder it doesn't show up on VA system. Did you get the booking confirmation email with 6 letter/digit booking code?

      I called up Virgin and they gave me the correct 6 digit reference code which shows up on Virgin Australia Booking

      All booked!

      • downhillmtbr on 08/11/2016 - 12:16

        Just an update, booked with another OTA and have a booking number that's showing up in Virgin :D

  • Ozimodo on 08/11/2016 - 09:31

    When I try to book a flight I get redirected to eDreams and the price goes up about $200??

  • HelpWanted on 08/11/2016 - 10:13

    Don't use Auntbetty

    Tried to book and got a reservation error, spend 20+ mins on the phone.

    A rude sales consultant tried to find different flights after those I booked became 'unavailable'. She then basically hung up after thanking me for my time and gave me nothing, no new flights or pricing, NOTHING!

    Will waste my time writing to them to complain about the rubbish customer service as all the cheap flights are gone.

        Virgin Australia website has blocked all routes (I tried once again Osaka and Paris) and they show all dates "unavailable" in Feb

        • cyrax83 on 08/11/2016 - 11:00

          just checked EDreams and still showing AU $ 787.54 8th to 22nd to Paris from Sydney

    • HelpWanted on 08/11/2016 - 11:12

      Here is a FB response from AuntBetty………

      Hi xxxxxxxxxxx,

      Thank you for your email.

      Unfortuantely the flights you have tried to book are a pricing error from Virgin Australia. We are working on eliminating these from the Aunt Betty site at the moment.

      These will not process through to a complete booking as you would have noted when trying to book the flights.

      We apologise for the errors, however these do happen from time to time due to human error.

      Alternate prices can be found when searching on Aunt Betty.

      Kind Regards,

      Aunt Betty

  • sambo150 on 08/11/2016 - 11:03

    Has anyone had any success in booking seating on virgin website but singapore metal it says seating selection not available, think we can call singapore and allocate seats?

    • braddsey on 08/11/2016 - 19:22

      Try putting your VA booking reference in the SQ site, or search your booking confirmation for an SQ reference. You might find it via checkmytrip.com

      It works with BA and QF.

      Edit: I would be reluctant to actually speak to an airline for any of these bookings… while it has been rumored they will honor bookings, I wouldn't be taking any chances! You should still be able to nab a window or aisle seat if you get to the airport early. If you're getting nervous, you can watch seat availability via expertflyer.com (if you can't already see it anyway via VA/SQ).

  • lainey13 on 08/11/2016 - 11:07

    Oh man can't find anything for the mythical MEL-LON in Sept price… Already jumped on the Mauritius deal for April so need something cheap for the second half of the year!

      I'm not sure that's really a confirmation.

        Haha - There was an ETKT number buried in the email I got and that was enough. If you don't have that I'd imagine your name and flight number/date should be enough for them to find out if a booking was made.

        • Duram on 08/11/2016 - 16:13

      So are mine, but lets just hope they stay confirmed. There is an article going around stating it was a glitch by VA and that it will likely be honoured, however it's not official wording from VA themselves.

      In another ozbargain thread, apparently VA have to negotiate with Singapore Airlines to make this happen too (or something along those lines) so it could yet be cancelled =(

      • altomic on 08/11/2016 - 17:02

        No worries. Called up Virgin, Expedia and Singapore Airlines and they all confirmed!

    I called Virgin earlier, and they also confirmed my flights, and gave me the Singapore Airlines booking reference. I booked through BestJet, if that helps anyone.

      • NotAMoodle on 12/11/2016 - 20:15

        You won't be able to see your Virgin codeshare booking on the SQ website, only under your Virgin account. To change your seats you can will need ring SQ with the SQ booking reference as Virgin will not change the seats for you. Good luck!

        • lukelegend on 14/11/2016 - 11:37

          @bansharkfin: Yeah you definitely cannot use their booking number on the website with a codeshare, I have no idea why but it's just like that. In the past with a SQ codeshare I've always been able to ring and set my seat at any stage of the process. Must be special fare conditions of these tickets.

  • davohatcher on 01/12/2016 - 10:20

    Just wondering if anyone has been able to select seating, as it is a Virgin Australia eticket

    I can now open my booking using the Singapore Airlines reference on the Singapore Airlines website. (You need to open your booking on the mobile app first before you can use the website) I can add my passport details, Frequent flyer number and request window or aisle seating but i cannot select the exact seat numbers i want. I does show me i have confirmed window seats of 59K etc.. but has anyone been able to select the exact seats you want?

    • sharepoint on 01/12/2016 - 11:29

      I tried and got seats automatically allocated. Rang Singapore Airlines and was advised that since it is a Virgin Airline ticket and part of their seat allocation, they are unable to assign me a self selected seat and that I should try at the airport. They also advised that VA are also unable to assign a seat.
