Can we have the VF logo in the FireFox tab please? ;)

So nice to have the site not jumping around in FireFox anymore - cheers Pix!

Have to agree, fab new site, job well done!!

Think there's more useful info on here than on VS own corporate site:)

Did I get a surprise when I hit refresh!!:D[8D];)

Other than the great new look are there extra new toys[?]

There are some new toys Jonathan - Miles & TP calculator is one. But i've lost it again now. Interesting if you do a LHR to SIN it defaults to Economy, but SIN to KUL it defaults to First Class. Wonder why that is? ;)

Foz :o)

Edit to add: Just found them.

Yup, lots of new toys for you to play with.

The Mileage Calculator will work out your miles and tier points, plus give you a handy map of your route.

The Mileage Converter will show you how to move miles/points from different loyalty programmes (Such as Gold Crown Club -> Virgin Atlantic)

The Juliet Book - Partner Miles gets detailed on the partner miles and rewards.

The 'Airline Tickets Explained' feature is an interactive guide to all that stuff printed on your paper tickets.

The FAQ is a long-researched guide to the ins-and-outs of VS.

There's now a Hotel Booking engine on the site.

The store has been re-written, now allowing you to order membership kits online. There's also V-Flyer Lapel pins and the VS Concorde in the store.

Bazz & Decker have their own Dining Guide section - ready for them to write lots of reviews of restaurants around the world.

And there's lots of other little improvements dotted all over the place.

Great job Pix.

I personally never had a problem with the old site but this one does seem a lot easier on the eyes :)

Thanks

Pix,

Great improvements to the site - like Shazam, I didn't think the old site was bad but this is so much better.

The new content is good, especially the TP/Mileage calculator and bit about explaining the various ticket codes.

Please please please please (sorry for sounding like a Points of View contributor!) do not make this a members only site.

Cheers,

Sahajesh.

PS I may be off to Pune soon for work so can you send me some calling cards - it's likely to be a short notice trip so this way I'll have them ready for casual dropping......:D

What's Firefox???

An alternative, standards-based browser that many, particularly in the developer community, believe is a better web-browsing solution than Microsoft Internet Explorer.

See Get Firefox.
