  • Velocity Points upgrades to Qsuite business class

    Apr 09, 2025, 11:25 AM

    Quoting from the email that Virgin sent it's Frequent Flyers yesterday:"Remember, Velocity Gold and Platinum members also receive Qatar Airways Lounge Access when flying on VA1-29" ...  "Velocity Platinum and Gold members travelling on a flight operated by Qatar Airways (including Virgin Aus...

  • Qantas freebie: get a stylish luggage tag for your bag

    Sep 24, 2024, 12:42 PM

    "Qantas has yet to advise if luggage tags will automatically be issued to frequent flyers holding lifetime Qantas status."  (May 2024)Curious to know whether anyone has heard anything further from Qantas regarding the above ?

I've done this multiple times in the past for routing changes made by the airline. If you google the term "Original Routing Credit" you should find a few sites th...

  • QF Status Credits on AA

    Oct 09, 2024, 12:19 PM

    That's odd. According to the calculator on the Qantas web site (https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/calculators.html) an Economy Flex Fare should give you 100 Status Credits on the leg from Australia to Dallas irrespective of whether you select Qantas or American Airlnes as the carrier (...

  • BONZA gone belly up - Opportunity for REX

    May 01, 2024, 11:46 AM

    Bonza may have gone but has it shown that there is indeed a market for regional point-to-point routes ? I notice in the aviation press that some routes were operating at 70-90% capacity. With Qantas' order of 29 A220's could it be they intend to service the demand that Bonza has uncovered with ...
