Hopping on an old thread, but I have a SIA award flight in Y in July. No status on SIA but VA Gold. Has anyone got into the lounge with VA status on a SIA award flight? Thanks.

As a velocity red, but just switching strategies due to now being able to make use of family pooling, I was considering the Gold for 6 months but hadn't actually got out a spreadsheet to work out whether it would allow retention. Status matching is something I hadn't considered but would be...

Thanks for the post! Not even pregnant yet but was planning a J One World award at 6-9 months if everything went well. You've just made me wonder whether I'm aiming to low...

You can actually do up to I think 16 flight segments, just only 5 stopovers (international transits <24 permitted on top - can't remember the rule for domestic transits). So provided you wan't to stop at all your listed ports, and didn't want to stop at LA it's fine to include (provided it meets...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I have booked an entire 140k online, however only because I booked when ALL flights were within 12 months. The main reasons to book over the phone are to get access to flights that don't appear on Qantas website, and to make...

Macquarie is the only bank I've ever been rejected from. Twice. Income > $100,000. Don't get it. Not many cards at the time. Good credit rating. Last time was about 18 months ago so may be good for one more try.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread At a quick look, I'm wondering which OW airline flies Jo'Burg to Dubai? Qatar seems to fly Jo'Burg to Doha, and then I guess onto Dubai to link up with QF in Dubai? or Qatar out of DoHA (but do they offer first class)...
