Thanks heaps I did try calling with no luck What it seems to me (and keep in mind I am a newbie) is that the points based offers via Virgin are only available more than several weeks in advance of the flight - after that they drop off and while you can still booking flights with Delta Skymiles...

I was looking to book an internal US flight using Delta (using Velocity points) LAX to SEA and +2 days SEA to DEN A few weeks ago I checked and there were seats on every flight on the days I wanted in every class, seemed easy. Now when I look it appears that only 3+ weeks in advance has...

This is exactly what I just double checked (or so I thought) - to confirm I could use a pass if I was lucky enough to win Flying from LAX with QANTAS on QANTAS - What else is there to check?

Thanks Heaps! So I still have fingers crossed!!!

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but I am flying via LAX on QANTAS but - Does "(excluding Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Terminal)" mean that I can't really use the pass in it's "best" way?

Thanks for the generous offer Please count me into the draw I only require 1 pass though, so if they can not be split please count me out. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone And positive karma to OP

PRE-ARRIVAL: Shiraz 2010 - Black Market Deal #31835 $14 (from $35) Is this likely to be UMAMU Estate? And if so, has anyone got any comments? If it's not, any ideas on what it might be?

Good to know - Thanks for the information I don't suppose there is a consolidated guide for lounge access requirements (perhaps by lounge type or even by airport)?

Hey bella_oes - Sorry I can't help much as I have the same question and am having trouble working out the options It does look to me that at LAX there are a number of lounges so the QANTAS lounge may not be the one to try for In my case I am flying from LAX to BNE after 11pm on a Sunday later...

Thanks guys - I'll reconsider that as an option - buying points from QANTAS is just ridiculously priced in comparison But still hoping to hit up a family member as the best option Thanks again for the info

Hey all, What would be the fastest way to get 10,000 more points? So far I have found - family member transfer and buy direct from QANTAS - both appear to be very fast to be credited It looks to me that even if I buy something from the QANTAS store I would not get the points and bonus points for...

OK, thanks. I was hoping there might be a way to get a headstart to increase my chances. Oh well, just see how it goes I guess

So the promo says Economy Classic Flight Reward - Would this include premium economy? Given the challenge of getting the booking you want - is there a best strategy to increase your chances? e.g. do you start your booking before 10am EST, and if so which booking screen do you get to before...

Hey Matt, Really enjoying the podcast and advice it provides Great to get details of upcoming changes and promotions/deal etc What I would like to have covered (perhaps briefly given I guess for most others on AFF and listening to the podcast probably already know this sort of stuff) is around...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome @JohnK It's just a dig back to the early days of forums where people would always rush to be the first poster in every thread - but then would just post "First" rather than anything useful. Since these days I'm more likely to be posting something that is...
