    LATAM status match $80USD

    FAQs on the status match site say it will be valid to 31 March 25 but the actual application site shows 31 March 24. Hopefully it will be the former. I'm heading to Sth America in March 24 and will be using them then and in April on a couple of flights including transcontinental. Fingers crossed.

    What to do for a week in Singapore

    Although I have flown Singapore Airlines a few times I have only transited Changi without going into Singapore itself. Having Krisflyer points due to expire, my wife has always wanted to visit Singapore so we decided to use them for a Singapore trip flying Y on the way there and J on the way...

    QF Domestic Fleet Renewal: Airbus 320neo/220 Preferred

    Not a snowflakes chance in hell I'll travel mid-haul on a single isle. Did that on Silk Air once for 5 hours - never again. Looks like for trans continental that is likely to be the only option though, internationally a different kettle of fish thankfully.

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    My impression was that agreement has been reached at National Cabinet between the Feds and states and then the states go and do their own thing. That needs to stop. 1606206594 True but not what I was thinking.

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    I think the Federal govt now needs to step in with financial penalties if the states do not adhere to National Cabinet agreements/decrees. Its time for the feds to start running policy.

    VA status extensions

    You might want to confirm this with Velocity, but my understanding is that his platinum status would/should have been extended from Sep 2020 to Sep 2021 without any requirement to earn status credits. Yes if he wanted to then extend Platinum to Sep 2022 he would need to earn the required SCs...

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    Even after borders open, my concern is that at the smallest "outbreak", possibly even if a single person tests positive, the states will slam the walls up on the borders again. National Cabinet agreed a "level" of infections per 100,000 that would warrant a border closure which the States within...

    VA status extensions

    My understanding on reading the Virgin Australia extension from March is that a 12 month extension will be granted from your review date. Which would mean Sep 21 and Dec 21 extensions on the dates above. I stand to be corrected but this earlier AFF discussion thread seems to confirm it. Virgin...

    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    Looking at rewards flights BNE to CBR between Christmas and New Year. 45600 pts + $64 one way :oops:. Effectively makes the points worthless. Standard 7800 + $50 on the way back.

    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    According to Executive Traveller Velocity loaned $150m to Virgin Australia in 2014. When VA went into administration the loan remained unpaid. Looks like Velocity might be a dead duck, sadly. Embattled Virgin Australia's $150m loan from Velocity "an investment"

    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    I had the same problem, an old closed Kris Flyer account which was still linking to Velocity Ended up calling the call centre after suffering the same frustrations as you and was surprised to get through. They fixed the issue on the spot and I was able to make the transfer.
