Re: Virgin Money Flyer 60,000/High Flyer 120,000, $129 flight voucher, annual fee $64 I applied yesterday for the High Flyer and noticed this in the acknowledgement email: 'please notify your payroll department (or accountant if self-employed) and authorise them to confirm your income and...

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion 'Sorry, There was problem while processing your transaction. Please try again.If the problem persists or you need additional information please contact LifeMiles Support.' Aarrrgh. After selecting flights, and trying to proceed to...

2 x pax, HND-BKKx-PER in mid October 17, TG J for both flights. 32K points and $1100AUD co-payment and taxes. Flying back from the F1. Got the points 2 for 1 going from accounts A->B->A etc to hit 40%. Then a timed out booking, that the call centre told me to cancel and retry. So I did. And it...

2 x TG J, NGO-BKKx-PER in mid Jan, 37,000 pts and $818 co pay, taxes fees. First screenshot booking, less painful than expected.

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Thanks all, will delve into some of those options (bar the scoot and air asia option unless they have started taking LM points!) Trying to get back to PER. A CTS-PER flight all in J was up for hours and just disappeared on me. Ah well, nothing...

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Got some time off at the end of the year between jobs - trawl though LM looking for a way back from Japan or nearby around 13,14 Jan. Finally find a good option, buy 17,000 miles - go to book, and *poof* flights are gone! If anyone has a...

Cancelled velocity amex in November last year and applied for this about 2 weeks ago - bonus points just posted safe and sound.

For early-mid October 16 PER-SYD - Economy Elevate, min bid is 430 SYD-PER- Economy Getaway, min bid is 490 Given work has paid for the initial tickets, Y is chockers, and this forum has ruined my ability to sit in Y - may as well give it a burl.

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Darn tootin'! Not considering holding out for a 135% or 145% promo?

Thanks all - went with the 777-200 just based on timing, those A330 flights are at ungodly hours. Ever notice that one 777 flight is 5min shorter than the other, same with the A330 flights. Wonder why that is? Higher expected loads for one than the other?

About to make a redemption for PER-SIN in J for late July. Two early flights on A330-300s are available and two later flights on 777-200 (SR refitted) at more reasonable hours. Am I correct in saying that the hard product on these flights is identical? From my googling it seems that way, but I...

Given the first post and purpose of this thread - I thought I would just highlight that if you are booking a mixed class itinerary it would be worth reading my posts 6115 and 6123 in the Lifemiles Discussion thread so you don't end up booking J, and then sitting in Y, near the loos, for the...

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Good news! Got a generic 'we have escalated your issue to the relevant department email on 25 Jan 16. Then at about 11pm last night, e-tickets were issued albeit not showing the booking class as they would normally do which was a bit weird...

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Unfortunately my screenshot is from two days before booking. Just remembered I also photographed the booking confirmation screen and will email that through as well. Clearly shows that the first two legs booked into business. Suppose either I...

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Per the successful booking thread, I booked PER-BKKx-NRT/HND-ISG for December. Just had to email LM as no etickets have been issued. Then checked on TG to see if they had the booking. Distressingly, despite definitely booking BKK-NRT in J, it...
