  • Virgin suspends points transfer to Singapore Airlines

    Apr 04, 2020, 11:51 AM

    I'm surprised Velocity hasn't offered a promotion to transfer points over from FlyBuys and credit cards in order to raise cash. With most people currently redeeming their points for poor value redemptions Velocity should come out well ahead.

  • How to use Qantas' SIN First lounge before a Cathay flight

    I have a morning MH flight departing while the Qantas lounges are still closed. Can I use the Cathay Pacific lounge?

  • How important is priority boarding?

    Jun 30, 2019, 10:30 PM

    I think that the benefit of having overhead space is overstated by the above comments. I have rarely missed out on bin space over the years regardless of when I board. The times that I do miss out happens so infrequently that there is no need to change my boarding habits because of it.

  • Qantas rejigs reward bookings for partner airlines

    It would be interesting to revisit this in 12 months time to see if the fees are still the same or if Qantas has gradually increased them.I wouldn't be surprised to see the fees slowly creep back up and we end up with high points cost and high fees.

  • How the QFF 'overhaul' will affect you

    It would be impossible to confirm if they will in fact release more award space. Could be an empty promise for all we know.

  • Flights booked but credit card charge disappeared

    Did you get an email with a ticket number?

  • Dumb question about booking stop-overs...

    Feb 26, 2020, 01:25 PM

    You probably would have been better off booking with an online travel agent. The fare would likely have been cheaper, the booking experience better and you still would have received double status credits for the Qantas portion.The Qantas booking engine shows errors for various reasons. It is diff...

  • It's called Oneworld Alliance... but is it actually one?

    Feb 26, 2020, 01:10 PM

    Wow. Only 1 call and a 35 + 15 minute wait for BA to solve a problem. Would've taken several calls and hours of hold time for QF to do the same.

  • Is this a bad booking (too short a transfer)?

    Feb 25, 2020, 08:04 AM

    6am flights are unlikely to be delayed because the plane would have been sitting there overnight. Qantas will probably give you express passes for Sydney immigration. I think flying in the night before is being way too cautious and also wastes money on a Sydney hotel.

  • Chicago-Brisbane Redemption as Platinum

    Feb 04, 2020, 08:08 AM

    At the moment I can see one day in August which has two seats available in business on the direct flight available to me as a Platinum.
