Virgin Australia, United Airlines partnership takes to the sky
Apr 23, 2022, 12:06 PMNot a too bad advice to check with Velocity, have done that too and got a reply but as expected you don't get anything tangible and they saying "nothing can be shared" - wrapped in the usual nice "customer experience is our most important" etc. Frustrating :(

Virgin Australia, United Airlines partnership takes to the sky
Apr 17, 2022, 07:51 PMAnyone knowledgeable on this: When they start the partnership in "late May" - do they make it retrospective, will one be able to credit earlier flights done with United to Virgin's Velocity?I have a flight to US coming up early-mid May, would be a waste to credit this to Unite's MileagePlus. Coul...

New benefits for Qantas flyers as Fiji Airways joins Oneworld Connect
Dec 08, 2018, 03:21 PMThe news on the OneWorld webpage has a overview table that says that Sapphire and Emerald have access to "select" lounges. Maybe just some miscommunication/typo that QF members on FJ flight number don't get access?Here's the link to the news on the OneWorld page: https://de.oneworld.com/news-info...

Qantas Lounge Access When Flying Jetstar
Mar 06, 2023, 05:15 PMYes you can. I just did similar last week, MEL - Queenstown and they let you in.It's also listed as a separate category on the Qantas lounge access page, there was a table with QF/Oneworld/EK/JQ flight number and who has access when.But only allowed when Qantas has an own lounge. If not a QF fli...

Duration of Hilton Diamond gifted as Velocity Platinum
Jan 23, 2023, 12:54 AMI grabbed Diamond through Velocity in 2018, ~June. In January 2019 Hilton downgraded me to Silver (which I had with the days stayed) and I complained through Hilton & Velocity and they reinstated it and it lasted for the whole of 2019 (so 1.5 years in total). If that was a glitch or just the...

What is going on with ticket prices on Qantas?
Sep 16, 2022, 01:25 PMIt doesnt just look to be that. Throughout QF prices are higher than others. Whenever I looked at anything. Be it domestic or international.Probably they are just bold & confident enough that people will pay it, relying on their corporate market and their brand name. I can just hope that more...
