It's no big deal, it's literally just an area of the 'premium' lounge that is roped off for F. Only difference is the waiters will serve you drinks to your table, other than that food, amenities etc are as per normal.. you will also notice that within the F area there is another roped off area...

no difference between reward availability for different status. Only difference is that Gold and Plat can book flex economy/premium and upgrade whilst others can't. Availability between East Coast AU-LAX looks very scarce at the moment and I would assume this is due to the pending 777 upgrade...

All looks possible to me. Just need to find the dates when seats are available...:D

Re: 80,000 velocity points Hello again good people of AusFF. For those of you who may not be aware the 110k Velocity point sign-up offer has now expired. The current offer via referral link is 80k Velocity points. This compares to only 50k points available if using the Amex site directly...

Just tried booking SYD-AUH-IAD. Reward availability shows on EY Guest site however VA call centre maintains they do not have access to the 'straight-through' flight and would need to book as 2 segments i.e SYD-AUH, AUH-IAD with each leg being 92k points so one way ends up costing 184k points...

Well done, as I think 187k points from BNE-IAD via AUH is too cheap and may even be a mistake. Everytime I have enquired about SYD-East Coast USA via AUH (numerous times over last couple of years) I have been told it needs to be booked as the two individual sectors (i.e the 141k+141k). Going to...

As a couple, 12 EF are the ones to go for. Row 10 is a bit close to the bar/lounge (noise). Be aware that CDGH seats on a380 face backwards... Haven't flown 787 so can't offer much advice on that.

The best use of points is to buy a flex economy fare (look for sales) from SYD-JFK through virgin website and then upgrade the SYD-LAX legs to J (45k points pp each way). Make sure LAX-JFK is on DL and as VA plat you will receive comp upgrade to 'comfort plus' pending availability. You can...

Shameless bump for my referral link if anyone is kind enough to use it.. All T's and C's as per Amex...

Did you get the sign-on bonus from both cards whilst holding simultaneously? Many people are reporting they do.

1.5*J points if I remember. Yes, you need to call to book.

New EY Lounge 2 flights per day to/from AUH (currently 1 777, 1 A346) Easy connections to pretty much anywhere else in Europe Low taxes (compare to LHR!!) Good availability for reward tickets compared to other European destinations Priority customs/security EY Chauffeur available Good connection...

Will both tickets be on points or will you purchase one and redeem one? If one of your tickets is purchased then you are eligible for a free nights stay in AUH and EY chauffeur (some limitations on this) https://www.etihad.com/en-au/plan-and-book/book-stopovers/premium-stopovers/...

250k is the magic number as it is what you need for return J on EY from SYD/MEL to anywhere in europe. Mrs Europa and I usually purchase one ticket and redeem one using points at least once per year..
