    Virgin site borking when trying to book Qatar seats

    I can just about deal with zero availability being shown. But the site also shows nothing available either side of a selected date but when you then amend your search and chose a shoulder date and dodgy availability then shows (sorry PER and ADL) you realise that the whole site, process and...

    Virgin site borking when trying to book Qatar seats

    We're trying to book reward seats back from Europe in January in J class. From time to time we see availability come up on the flight search, get all the way through the booking process until the very end when we get a Payment Error. This has happened multiple times and calls to the Contact...

    Entering TPE or DXB as the starting point in the multi city tool with a destination of an Aus airport gives errors stating not a valid classic points location.

    Holidays and Airport 'Chaos' since COVID

    The article and discussion focuses mainly on the outbound issues. But important to also recognise there are also similar problems inbound. I arrived back in SYD on Monday morning from SFO and it was carnage! Passport e-readers were playing up, Border Farce systems werent recognising the DPD...

    SQ status not showing on VA boarding pass

    I'm a KrisFler Gold and have tagged the membership details to a couple of Virgin bookings. For some reason, the status is not showing up on the boarding passes - have checked the booking and the SQ details are definitely there, any obvious reason with the status doesnt show?

    QF Double Status Credit Promos - I am not 100% sure I follow the logic anymore...

    Interesting concepts and probably very true but I'm not sure I totally agree with the logic. By their very nature, the Mom and Pop travellers aren't going to care about DSC promos. But regular (and astute) business travellers are, particularly those on international routes. And it is these...

    QF Double Status Credit Promos - I am not 100% sure I follow the logic anymore...

    That's why I now tag my VA flights to my KF # and utilise SQ for my overseas trips where possible.

    QF Double Status Credit Promos - I am not 100% sure I follow the logic anymore...

    Did you see what the offer entailed? Flying to India from HKG on CX! It's bad/long enough going via SIN! And interesting that QF are pushing a bonus (albeit a very meagre one) on CX flights.

    QF Double Status Credit Promos - I am not 100% sure I follow the logic anymore...

    It was more the fact that you are able to achieve the giddy heights of P1 without utilising promos. Therefore I'm assuming you are able to travel business class which is where my jealousy comes from. Doing longhaul discount Y every 2-3 weeks takes its toll, hence the desire to look for...

    QF Double Status Credit Promos - I am not 100% sure I follow the logic anymore...

    There's nothing to piss away! When I fly QF I will still be LTG, still have lounge access, priority seat selection and boarding but there is no incentive for me to keep on flying with them if WP is not feasible. Therefore no harm in getting KF Gold and comparing the products (and my early...

    QF Double Status Credit Promos - I am not 100% sure I follow the logic anymore...

    I'm still not convinced. I earn more points from CC spend than actual flying, as I suspect is the case for a lot of higher tier members. A few extra points here and there isnt going to make a great deal of difference to me but accelerated status will. The likelihood is that higher tier members...

    QF Double Status Credit Promos - I am not 100% sure I follow the logic anymore...

    So I was one of those that was hanging out for DSC. As a LTG, I was going to use the Magic Pudding to get WP with my flights for the rest of the year. When it didnt come, I put my spend for the rest of the year with Singapore Airlines in an effort to build status there. Admittedly it was only a...
