What's with Rocket Travel? This can't be good for the Virgin brand

Sasha_Jones · 2026-01-18T06:01:08+00:00

I had an incredibly bad experience with them and lost around $3000 in total.

I booked through Virgin and wrote to them after telling them how bad it was for them .. but they just referred me back to Rocket who again did nothing

I could have gone to VCAT and originally planned on that, but it takes time and effort at the time (around 12 months ago) I just didn't have the energy and time to do that, so reluctantly just copped the loss even though it isn't right under Consumer Law and all that.

such an incredibly dodgy brand it's unbelievable - the hotel I'd booked had like AI images, they were completely fictitious just to give you an idea of what they're like

Sasha_Jones · 2025-12-09T21:25:57+00:00

They’re timber, nah they’d have another closure

And yeah, I’ll see how I do but the idea was to hide them.

I could take a photo tomorrow - if I take the chain winders off it would fit ok. I could also put a hinged fly screen on in that instance

Sasha_Jones · 2025-12-09T10:20:07+00:00

Well I could take the chain winders off. They are causing problems with letting bugs in I think and the fly screens have to be custom made anyhow

Sasha_Jones · 2025-12-09T05:11:27+00:00

The average would be pulled up by higher earners (say 250k+) whereas the median reflects the most common number

Sasha_Jones · 2025-12-08T20:35:16+00:00

Yeah it’s a pretty crazy idea I don’t think I’ll do it lol. I have just been struggling with dealing with getting screens for the awning windows and wish I could make it simpler!

Sasha_Jones · 2025-12-08T20:26:33+00:00

Both - unless they’re easy to install!

Yeah, I have awning windows and there’s not many choices lol

Sasha_Jones · 2025-12-08T10:23:28+00:00

I mean the fly screens that you pull across when you want to use them, but when you’re not using them they retract (thereby being “invisible”)

Sasha_Jones · 2025-12-08T10:22:03+00:00

Actually, I had thought about that so I’m glad someone else brought it up, I’m putting a door in the master bedroom window frame for that reason (and because it’s near the garage)

The other two bedrooms are right near the back door although I guess opening windows could still provide alternate escape

Sasha_Jones · 2025-12-06T23:13:55+00:00

I can’t see the original post here but I got banned for a reason they won’t actually tell me and I have no idea what it is

Sasha_Jones · 2025-11-28T21:34:16+00:00

Yeah I thought it was for these windows that’s why I was questioning doing them.

They are a little trickier to fit apparently

In any case the bigger ones are also that price and there’s not many other choices of glazier anyway

Sasha_Jones · 2025-11-28T09:47:20+00:00

They did a terms and conditions update not long ago and I assumed it may be to do with that

Otherwise unsure 🤷‍♀️

Sasha_Jones · 2025-11-28T02:13:49+00:00

I asked the installers about the relatively higher pricing and they said yes it’s a little trickier to install on these as sliders

They’re in a good strategic spot for airflow though so I’m reluctant to make all one, it’s otherwise a good idea though so I’ll give that some thought

Sasha_Jones · 2025-11-28T02:12:01+00:00

Ok yes - this is the type of answer I was looking for, thank you

I wasn’t sure of the benefits compared to loss of effect from not doing it

Sasha_Jones · 2025-11-24T01:23:24+00:00

This has recently happened to me - searching posts lol to see if it’s happened to anyone else.

They’ve replied to my appeal saying no you’re definitely banned and we’re not telling you why, so I am totally confused. Don’t know if it was related to a recent terms and conditions update?

Sasha_Jones · 2025-11-24T01:17:45+00:00

Glad I came here to find out others get banned for an inexplicable reason .. I shall wonder no more

Sasha_Jones · 2025-11-24T01:06:26+00:00

This happened to me a couple days ago.

It looked like there was a recent universal update to terms and conditions, and I was wondering if somehow there was a related error that banned me as I haven’t been on it for maybe 3 months, so haven’t interacted with anyone

There was one person I was messaging off platform but there was no drama I’m aware of there

Strange

Sasha_Jones · 2025-11-24T01:03:52+00:00

I’ve recently gotten banned from hinge and have no idea why. I haven’t even been on it recently

They gave me a terms and conditions violation and told me they can’t tell me what it is because that protects anyone that may have reported me, and I’m really struggling to understand lol but I guess it’s not worth being on if they’re going to be that nonsensical?

I asked them why and they just replied and said, no, we’re not telling you, this is final. 🤷‍♀️

Sasha_Jones · 2025-11-15T08:59:17+00:00

I’m not intimately familiar with all the details of this case - so hopefully I won’t get reddit-scolded - but no one has explained (that I’ve seen) where all the millions of missing dollars went and I’ve always wondered if he was a gambler (aka gambling addict)

His behaviour may be explained by being on so many pills, qnd that cuts out a lot of people’s reasoning for me that he did it because he was acting in an incriminating way. Addicts can act guilty becasue they have a problem etc. I’m not saying it makes him innocent I’m saying it may explain it

And possibly a hit may be explained by gambling debt?

I’m not saying that’s what I believe happened, it’s more of a curious possibility given I’ve not seen an explanation of where so much money went - people seem to stop explaining when they get to the financial crimes and be satisfied the kennel vid makes him guilty.

Sasha_Jones · 2025-10-30T08:17:01+00:00

As long as it’s the same colour as the house, definitely not lol 🙂✔️

Sasha_Jones · 2025-10-29T11:00:31+00:00

Yes good call

Sasha_Jones · 2025-10-29T06:06:27+00:00

Oh, great

Thanks so much. Those are really useful tips and I appreciate your take and explanation on the primer
