Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has had experience in utilising Fly Ahead where a booking is connecting, say CBR-SYD-BNE? Whilst I understand from reading the T&C's that it can't be used on the mid-point of a connecting journey, i.e. SYD-BNE, could it still be used for the CBR-SYD leg? Thanks.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has experience of the process for checked baggage where a reward flight is booked from say ADL-SYD via MEL and one doesn't board the MEL-SYD leg. Should it be requested at check-in in Adelaide for the bag to only be checked through to Melbourne, or could it be...

Looks as though today's VA91 MEL-DPS has diverted via DRW again, the fourth time in the past week. Meanwhile, QF45 with the same routing and aircraft type has flown direct every day over the past week according to FlightRadar. Would be interesting to know the real reason behind this, but it...

Hi All, I'm currently looking to book a Classic Reward from HBA-CHC via MEL and have noticed that when searching using the one-way option the domestic connection on Qantas are available, however if I change this to a multi-stop option from the same departure point the domestic connecting flight...

Thanks to everyone for your insights. I've managed to find a routing that will earn 120-130 SC's for around $700, which brings me to another question.... Would you consider the platinum benefits enough to justify the $700 which it will cost? Thanks again.

Hi All I have a large amount of status credits expiring in early May, and with already planned travel up until that date I will still fall approximately 120 status credits short of qualifying for Platinum. My main reason for considering a status run is the opportunity of a soft fall to Gold if...

Can anyone advise whether boarding passes for both the domestic and international flights are provided at the port of departure? For example, when flying from Hobart to Denpasar via Melbourne or Sydney. Or, is it required to again 'line up' at international check in and collect the...

I entered the Virgin lounge in Melbourne the other week using my Etihad Guest Gold card. They wanted to see my boarding pass, and also added my Etihad membership number in to their system. I have never been able to access a Virgin lounge using my Etihad card without providing them with details...

Just wondering if any other Velocity Platinum members have had success in getting the call centre to allocate row 3 for non status passengers travelling on the same flight, but on a separate booking?

Just wondering if anyone would happen to know whether access to the Air New Zealand Lounge would be permitted for an Etihad Guest Gold member when flying Virgin Australia Short Haul International. I understand that Velocity Gold members are allowed access, but can't find a definitive answer for...

Just wondering if anyone know's whether partner airline frequent flyer 'status' shows on Virgin Australia boarding passes, where the partner airline membership number has been added to the booking?

Hi all, This is probably a long shot, but if anyone will be departing from MEL international tomorrow between 4pm-7pm or so, I'd be really grateful if anyone could guest myself and my wife as well as our 4 year old daughter in to the Qantas Club lounge. Many thanks in advance.
