Earning miles:

Miles may only be earned on flights operated by Virgin Australia. Miles will be issued to Flying Club members when travelling in the classes listed. Miles will not be earned for travel in any other class not listed above.
Additional miles will not be earned for bookings that are subsequently upgraded to a higher class whereby an additional fare difference is paid.
