Second thought if the answer is yes - can I move the first leg past the ex-ROR flight once ticketed?

That’s good information, thanks. Would I actually have to travel on the first leg for the second leg not to get cancelled?

I want to book a redemption flight from ROR to TPE. The problem is, I can't select ROR as a departure airport. I can see plenty of availability for my dates by searching a TPE-ROR return, but when I call QF they can't even seem to find the flights, let alone availability. Tried a few different...

@madrooster is it as straight forward for an international QF only itinerary?

Awesome stuff!

Has anyone successfully booked a reward by calling VA for city pairs that are not available on the VA website? For example LAX-ANC or the like?

Another data point (Explorer Card - about $100k a year) - Called to cancel, asked for retention points, as expected was told they weren't allowed to offer any. Specifically mentioned the Krisflyer devaluation and went ahead with the cancellation. Was then offered to transfer to a fee free card...

Similar question, can I book a QR flight with Velocity Points and use Oneworld benefits as a Qantas Platinum (for example F Lounge in SYD/MEL) ? Looks like the flights book on QR flight numbers and not VA Codeshares so shouldn't be an issue. Has anyone done this?

Yes it's frustrating. My Gold colleagues had various experiences though, upgraded to Exec Floor but no lounge access, full breakfast for free downstairs (well, who is checking that anyways) etc. I tried to have breakfast downstairs a few times over the past months and was always quoted $10...

Update on the breakfast situation for Diamonds at the Adelaide Hilton: Breakfast only free at the lounge - if you want to eat downstairs it's $10 for the full breakfast. If you're Gold you can eat downstairs for free (Continental only) or pay $10 for the full breakfast.

Yeah that’s pretty much my sentiment. The hardware is just so outdated, crawling under the bed to charge your phone shouldn’t really be a thing in 2023. Combined with the general zero care attitude, the restaurant breakfast charge may have been the final nail in the coffin for me. There are...

Property: Hilton Adelaide Room booked: King Deluxe King Received: King Executive Status: Diamond The usual, upgrade to executive floor but no recognition otherwise. The safe in the room still hadn’t been fixed from when I stayed 2 weeks ago and the default Hilton channel on the TV showed the...

Had a similar experience this week. Checked in online, rocked up at the door and no code on my boarding pass. Knocked on the door, hung around for a while and then made my way back landside to get the code from the checkin desk. Back through security, entered the code a few times….denied. Ok...

I wonder if they had an IT issue on the 4th in regards to complaints - I received a call about my complaint regarding a delayed flight on August 4th. Problem was I didn't travel that day and did not make any complaint. Made for a very strange phone call since I had no idea what they were talking...

Sounded like $10 regardless - I was in a rush and the staff member seemed a bit confused herself. Anyhow, my 2 cents as mentioned before. Trying to limit the free breakfast to certain items, which is near impossible to police anyways, just feels petty. I'm spending 50+ nights in your hotel and...
