    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    Nope. It's blue on seats.aero so not a direct flight. It's via ADL.

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    I disagree. I can still see SQ and QR availability Christmas/NYE 2024. Compares to QF, you'll be schlepping it in JQ or pay crazy fees with EK. It's a no brainer. The value of using your points for two of the best airlines in the world (SQ & QR) vs low cost (JQ) or cough up $2k in fees...

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    I am one of those people. I fly Virgin (Platinum) exclusively for work even though my company's preferred airline is Qantas simply because I get more points per dollar spent. I still collect QFF through credit cards and other means. Finding international J seats on QFF is possible but sometimes...

    Aeroplan (Air Canada) is now selling points

    I have compared multiple routes/times and I think in some cases AC availability is better than Krisflyer. You can book a waitlisted flight shown on Krisflyer on AC.

    SQ(Swissport) did not load my baggage, help please

    Sorry, both were checked in at MEL. On the app, mine said loaded onto the aircraft at MEL. No information about loaded at SIN since it wasn't SQ any more I guess. Yes, not much we can do at this point and we are managing with new clothing purchases. There are a few irreplaceable sentimental...

    SQ(Swissport) did not load my baggage, help please

    Yes, I have the bag tag for the missing bag. Both bags were checked in at MEL connecting all the way to VFA. Mine arrived at VFA but my partner's didn't.

    SQ(Swissport) did not load my baggage, help please

    We are currently in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe about to head to Botswana for a safari trip with a missing bag 😔. The trip was for my partner's 40th celebration but so far it did not start well... Flew MEL-SIN(SQ, Y), SIN-ADD(ET, J) & ADD-VFA(ET,J) on a Lifemiles ticket 3 days ago and my partner's...

    ACCC action re cancelled flights

    I see the allegations as anti competitive behaviour to steal business travellers. Most business travellers tend to care more about departure time then cost (within budget). They never intend to fly those flights at all but will advertise it to trap travellers with attractively timed direct...

    Virgin Atlantic joins Skyteam

    https://onemileatatime.com/deals/buy-virgin-atlantic-flying-club-points/ Been doing a little research to find sweet spots to use VS miles on Skyteam. I think there is potential for cheap GA J to Bali (ex SYD or MEL) ~AUD750 each way. If you take advantage of the current buy miles promo (70%...

    Qantas call centre in Suva, Fiji

    Almost had a fight with a Qantas Fijian call centre yesterday. She keeps telling me that because Qantas codeshare with Emirates on EK405, reward seats are not bookable. She also hung up on me once and refused to put me through to someone else. Had to ring due to Qantas website error which seems...
