Hi, I am travelling on EK soon and would like to credit my points to Skywards. As a QF Gold can I still use my status for lounge access in DXB or do I have to credit to QF to get access? Thanks D.

I have done fly ahead in the lounge in Melbourne & Sydney loads of times, they were being lazy I think.

Yes and a non FF can pick up the reward seats right ahead of a waitlisted gold/platinum? Expert flyer worked perfectly for me, the seats were released overnight and I just called when I saw the seat alert email.

A flight appeared 5 days out EF to the rescue called up this morning and snagged it. I had been waitlisted for an upgrade, it's strange that waitlisted upgrades don't grab this inventory automatically.

I am waitlisted for a points upgrade, not sure if they assign Z rewards to those waitlisted before making them public. I am 6 days out from departure and have some expert flyer alerts, no Z released yet and it's at about 50% capacity.

It seems clear that they now prefer a cash upgrade bid to allowing points upgrades. I have a PE trip coming up and been checking for months for a Z class fare and there is none.

Yes I land at T2, can Delta check my bags in all the way? If so I am probably fairly safe.

Thanks I land at 7.22pm from SFO and then onto VA24 at 9pm so hopefully ok without delays.

I have a little over 90 minutes and it is the one ticket. I guess immigration isn't such an issue on the way out of the US so I should be ok ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Hi, I am flying SFO-LAX-MEL, the connection time is tight. Delta metal obviously from SFO, on a 737. There aren't any comfort + available, I have waitlisted for an upgrade via VA platinum. Any chance you can exit via the rear and I could sit down the back for a quicker exit? Thanks, D.

I have transferred before and it was instant.

747 or 777 vs a380, why? Especially the 747?

I doubt it is a public policy but I have upgraded before in the lounge when booked on a VA flight #. They are even selling lounge access now so I am sure they will take whatever $s they can if there are spare seats.

Just a comment I read on some review site, I took your advice thanks!

Really annoying as it was the best route to SF avoiding LAX, looks like QF will be getting my business :(.
