V-Flyer

In the past I have received an email one week before my flight reminding me of it (like I'd forget! ): ) and pointing me to such things as OLCI and baggage allowances. I didn't get one for my flight in July but then I didn't expect one since I had booked through a third party. I did however expect one for my flight later this week but my Inbox has remained empty. Has Virgin Atlantic discontinued this practice?

Got one last week October for flight 1st November last

I didn't get one last weeks trip to NRT (nor for the return yesterday) either.

I recieved one last Saturday for this Saturday's flight. My stomach did a flip flop when the title was important information about your flight. I thought there had been some major change to the flight.

I havnt had one yet. Am on Wednesday's vs3

We had one for out pre Christmas V045...

I've not had one for Wednesday and they have my details as I got a DTCI invite

Don't think I've had one for my last 2 or 3 flights; although I do recall getting one for flights a year or two back...

Got text messages from them as well, although that's patchy too...

I use TripIt for that kind of information. They monitor the flights and send you updates via email and text messages when OLCI is available, flight time changes etc.

Might be a bit much if you only fly once or twice a year but for regular travellers, its a good service!

I use Tripit as well but I rather like the notifications you get from the airline itself. Aer Lingus sends its out two weeks beforehand and it does start that frisson of excitement when you realise its a pre-flight notification instead of the usual fare sales announcements. I was looking forward to getting the VS one and am a tad disappointed not to get it. Sad, I know but one must get life's little pleasures where one can )

I agree HL about it building the excitement of your up coming trip!

VS communications for me have been fairly hit and miss. Sometimes I receive a text or email or most likely neither!

The main thing I love about Tripit though it the Itinerary planner and if you subscribe to your Tripit Calendar in your iCal app on your Mac/iPhone, it keeps all your travel details sync'ed across multiple devices! Genius!
