V-Flyer

Has anyone notice the new designs that are starting to appear on the VA website when you log into your flying club account - looks like they are changing the logos and colours gradually. . . .

Yep, personally i dont really like it, [:(]

Am with you on that one - it looks odd against the background of the rest of the website - maybe it will all change soon to match the new designs. . .

I'm with you on this. It looks out of place with the rest of the site layout/scheme.[:(]

Just logged in to see what you are talking about,I agree, it's pretty awful!!! [}:)]

Once logged in all your details go black and white aswell, bring back the good old red and purple please!! [V]

Does anyone else think this is a FC status thing - the title above and buttons below the box with my mileage balance all had a vaguely gold hue.

Can any non Au's confirm?

But you're right - the mix of red, purple and slightly odd brown is not a pretty sight.

Yes mine had the gold colouring - then tried my husbands and he is silver - looked more black and white though[n]

I've just gone in and looked at mine - the title and buttons now have a dark red background with white text so it looks like it could well be a FC status thing.

Also the red is too dark to match the rest of the site - am not a fan.

Looks poor. Don't like the font. If they're going to redo the site, do it all at once.

There are far more important things that need updating on the site or sorting out before doing aesthetic changes such as this. But then Virgin always have been image conscious and often concentrate on this first.

Thanks,
Richard

Doesn't seem that bad to me personally.

I can't log in now, I get "We're sorry your account is currently unavailable. Please try again later"

As long as you have a Gold card, does it matter what the card looks like? Surely its what the card says not how it looks, unless that is that you are concern that the new pattern does not accesorise with you luggage or wallet content.

Can anyone remember the awful looking Freeway card anyway.

Yes, I can confirm. I am Au and my profile area looks Gold, Mrs B is silver and hers looks Silver, Mrs B's mum is red and hers looks red.

All checked and confirmed.

Give em a break guys, I am sure they know there is more work to be done

I like it. [:I]

Ooooooh no.Same sentiments as Sarah and smallprawn. Don't like it either.Maybe it looks better in gold -silver backgound and black makes my eyes out of focus.

Earning calculator is helpful if you're looking for easy clarification of miles and TPs though.

Signing in to my account today I seem to be Brown card holder!!! Not sure I like the new design, would have preferred the money spent on the flowers on the bar in UC!

Yes - looks horrible for AU -

Or you could use our very own one

Thanks Phil-Never noticed that in the forum. Obviously another good idea idea snaffled from V-flyer.Have allways got out pen and paper and put o-level (remember them?) maths to good use.

I can't access any of my bookings now! I can see them but not update them!!

Called FC and they said everything is fine. Will try again tomorrow

If anyone is interested on this page there are pictures of the new style cards (please correct me if im wrong)

Looks like it to me, Chris. (They have the name strip on, too) [y]

As I said (apologies to those who disagree) - I like 'em.


I have to get some new luggage tags after the TSA's enjoyment with my bag last night anyway. Best call up...

Change is the work of the devil!

Are there actually any new features?
