It is the 938,633 rd most visited site over the last 3 months.
Not bad for such a specialized site.

I've noticed the amount of guests online has been rapidly increasing too. For example, as I logged on this morning there were 247 guests. I don;t have the stats to back it up but that feels like a lot more than we used to have unless we got a media mention.

V-flyer has had a couple of mentions on PPRuNe over the last couple of months, that may have boosted traffic.
I guess it would probably hit a number of search criteria as well for anyone looking at flight, hotels, destination info......
And, of course, the erudite and collegeate discourse that is the hallmark of V-flyer contributors!

How did you all come to be on here, as a matter of interest? My route was via a mention on Martin Lewis money saying site.
I know,the shame of it....

I saw a question on A.net (that had a link to VF) that I knew the answer to!

I have Google to thank.
Was looking for info about VS after booking our first flights and the link I clicked brought me here. I was a lurker for 3 months or so before I joined and asked my first question.

I know a lot of people (myself included) who found the site using the VS app which links through to here.

A mention on PPRuNe in July of 2010 - there was a discussion on VS and someone linked to this site...
As mentioned, I've seen a few more mentions recently as well.

I found it by accident when I was booking some flights and like Neil lurked for a while. I've since checked out other sites that have been mentioned but they never come close to V-flyer.

I googled Virgin Atlantic because I couldn't remember if there was a hyphen in the URL or not. In those days V-flyer was called Virgin Atlantic Flyer and obviously popped up......
...... and the rest they say is history

I joined after a friend recommended the Fare Codes section in tht toolbox. Before finding that it was a complete mystery how to find out if I had, or could get, an upgradeable fare. Apart from being told "No" at the airport

I joined after reading the Flyertalk website section for Virgin and almost every thread pointed people over here.

My wife told me about V-Flyer. I'm not sure how she found it. I've been lurking for a long time, just signed up a month or so ago.
When a question about VS or flying club comes up on other forums, I usually point to V-Flyer.

I joined when googling on how to get an upgrade cheap.
Funny, I now spend even more on flight. How did that happen?
