Excellent price to Europe for business class. Thanks for posting.
Virgin doesn't have Chongqing to Moscow in its flight miles calculator yet. But Tianjin is eligible for status credits earn and if both legs are credited as business class (and both C and R class are eligible for points), you should earn 160 on the first leg and 120 on the second. That's a big if, status credits are difficult to calculate so make your own inquiries if they matter to you.
Needs to be compared with other cheap business offers: Air New Zealand offers pretty competitive mixed-class fares (business there, economy home) to LA when on sale. And Oman Air offers a similar product to Europe albeit leaving Jarkata. But neither of those will earn with Velocity and Oman Air can be pretty difficult to credit anywhere useful. You've also got lots of interesting business flights closer to home (think Hong Kong, Fiji). Still deal gets an upvote from me - it's interesting.
(also really love those flight times if you pair it with a hotel in Chongqing and a transit visa https://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/free-72hour/ :D)
Dont forget your visa for Russia ..
Not all people who live in Australia need a visa ;) Plus, if you don't check bags, you can connect to another flight to Europe or elsewhere.
